Gowdy to Trump: ‘When you are innocent … act like it’

ツイッターでFBIや特別検察官を非難し続けるトランプ大統領に、共和党の
下院議員Trey Gowdyが忠告「貴方が無罪無実であるなら、そういう非難はや
めて、捜査を継続させるべきだ」
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) urged President Donald Trump and his lawyer on Sunday
to stop flailing at special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and to let
the probe continue unimpeded.
"When you are innocent … act like it," Gowdy said on “Fox News Sunday“ when
asked about Trump's repeated Twitter attacks on Mueller, whose probe has become
increasingly perilous to the president and his inner circle. "If you’ve done
nothing wrong, you should want the investigation to be as fulsome and thorough
as possible."
Gowdy's comments came a day after Trump's attorney John Dowd called for Mueller's
investigation to be shut down. Gowdy issued the same exhortation to Dowd: "If you
have an innocent client, Mr. Dowd, act like it.”
Trump himself spent the weekend lobbing repeated Twitter attacks at Mueller's
investigation over the weekend, including on Sunday, when he labeled Mueller's team
of prosecutors "hardened Democrats."
"The Mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion
and there was no crime," Trump tweeted Saturday evening, naming Mueller in a tweet
for the first time.
