President Donald Trump threatened on Twitter Tuesday morning to sue “everyone” involved in Robert Mueller’s special counsel Russia investigation and the trial of former Trump adviser Roger Stone.

“These were Mueller prosecutors, and the whole Mueller investigation was illegally set up based on a phony and now fully discredited Fake Dossier, lying and forging documents to the FISA Court, and many other things,” Trump stated in relation to the former prosecutors in Stone’s case. The four prosecutors Trump referred to withdrew from Stone’s case after Trump voiced displeasure over the reported 7 to 9 year sentence the Justice Department originally sought for Stone.

“Everything having to do with this fraudulent investigation is badly tainted and, in my opinion, should be thrown out,” POTUS continued Tuesday morning. “Even Mueller’s statement to Congress that he did not see me to become the FBI Director (again), has been proven false.

Earlier in the day, Trump quoted an appearance by Judge Andrew Napolitano on Fox & Friends citing Stone’s defense team’s request for a retrial, following the revelations about the lead juror Tomeka Hart.

“Judge Jackson now has a request for a new trial based on the unambiguous & self outed bias of the foreperson of the jury, whose also a lawyer, by the way. ‘Madam foreperson, your a lawyer, you have a duty, an affirmative obligation, to reveal to us when we selected you the.....

.....existence of these tweets in which you were so harshly negative about the President & the people who support him. Don’t you think we wanted to know that before we put you on this jury.’ Pretty obvious he should (get a new trial). I think almost any judge in the Country.....

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said later in the day on Fox News that Trump’s tweets show he’s “frustrated.”
