Interestingly, this operation was pushing the very topics that Donald Trump often rants on endlessly at his rallies and on Twitter to sow discord.
When a reporter attempted to ask Trump about the arrest yesterday , the President interrupted and said unprompted "had nothing to do with my campaign.

Now they do."
The man doth protest too much, methinks.
