Honestly, if Trump legimately came up with this I'm amazed and impressed.  He can't be the first person to say this, though.  Can he?  I'm getting Jim Jones vibes from the quote really, but you may be right.


EDIT - Trump also said this sort of thing about other things that held more water than the Durham report.  I'm pretty sure Trump played this same card when the FBI found a horde of classified documents he'd been willfully retaining.

I believe that's the first time he said it, regarding the documents case.

But again, Trump has always been shady/dirty.  That he's being investigated or that there was a reason to look into him shouldn't be a surprise at all to anyone.  

But, tbf, I get surprised that people still defend Trump no matter what too.  

Edit:

He was talking about everything he's being investigated for.
