Why Trump Must be Jailed and Interrogated
In order to stop his constant attack on truthful media and Mueller’s ongoing probe, it will be wise for the U.S. lawmakers to put Trump behind bars and interrogate him with a polygraph test.

It seems that Donald Trump has gone berserk. Instead of thinking about the issues such as American debt, unemployment, gun violence, dwindling American economy, and chaos in the White House, he is wasting a lot of time on issuing bizarre statements on the criminal investigation that he is facing.
During over one year of his presidency, Trump has constantly blamed all those who have accused him of conspiring with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election that Hillary Clinton lost.
Instead of waiting for the outcome of the investigation being done by the special counsel Robert Mueller to know the extent of Trump-Russia ties, Trump keeps using Twitter to vent out his frustration.
He has repeatedly blamed his bête noire Hillary Clinton, Democrats, American media, justice system, dissenting Republicans, and FBI for the ongoing investigation against him. Now, once again Trump’s target is Mueller and his investigation.
Although there is enough circumstantial evidence that Trump illegally took enemy nation Russia’s help to defeat Hillary Clinton, he often accuses Mueller and his team saying that the investigation is part of the Democratic ploy to get him implicated.
Why didn’t the 13 Angry Democrats investigate the campaign of Crooked Hillary Clinton, many crimes, much Collusion with Russia? Why didn’t the FBI take the Server from the DNC? Rigged Investigation!

Trump said Sunday that it is a rigged investigation. “Why didn’t the 13 angry Democrats investigate the campaign of Crooked Hillary Clinton, many crimes, much Collusion with Russia? Why didn’t the FBI take the Server from the DNC? Rigged Investigation!” he said on Twitter.
Why didn’t President Obama do something about the so-called Russian Meddling when he was told about it by the FBI before the Election? Because he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win, and he didn’t want to upset the apple cart! He was in charge, not me, and did nothing.

Trump also blamed President Barack Obama saying his predecessor failed to stop Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. “Why didn’t President Obama do something about the so-called Russian meddling when he was told about it by the FBI before the election? Because he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win, and he didn’t want to upset the apple cart! He was in charge, not me, and did nothing,” Trump tweeted.
Last month, Trump had said that House Intelligence Committee has ruled that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. “As I have been saying all along, it is all a big hoax by the Democrats based on payments and lies. There should never have been a Special Counsel appointed. Witch Hunt!” Trump said.

He, however, did not reveal the fact that the findings of the House Intelligence Committee have no meaning at all because most members of the Committee are Republican crooks who want to save Trump by hook or by crook. Mueller’s investigation is the only legitimate exercise that is happening to find out criminality in 2016 election.
With his irresponsible and vulgar statements, however, Trump has repeatedly tried to attack the American justice system which must be construed as a case of obstruction of justice.
In order to stop his constant attack on truthful media and Mueller’s ongoing probe, it will be wise for the U.S. lawmakers to put Trump behind bars and interrogate him with a polygraph test.
His Twitter account must also be terminated permanently because he is misusing Twitter to spread falsehood.
While Trump keeps saying that the Russian interference did not impact the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, he deliberately conceals the fact that the U.S. intelligence agencies never tried to know the impact on election results.
As part of an ethical practice in a democracy, the agencies did not want to assess the voters’ opinion. But that does not mean that the Russian meddling did not change the election result. Rather, it is largely believed that Russians helped Trump win and Trump campaign was aware of this fact.
Although Trump had received majority of the 538 state-by-state electoral votes to win the presidency, Clinton won 48.2% of the popular vote compared with 46.1% for Trump. In other words, Clinton got nearly 3 million more votes than what Trump got in the election. But the U.S. election system declared Trump as the winner.
Meanwhile, an online petition on a dedicated “Need to Impeach” website claims that it has collected more than 5 million signatures of Americans who want impeachment of Trump.
