Trump Parrots Fox News to Bash Russia Probe, Sessions, DOJ on 9/11: ‘NOTHING is Being Done’
President Donald Trump is getting his daily briefing from Fox News again.
The president started off his daily Twitter proclamations with a quote from Sara Carter, who appeared on Lou Dobbs last night to discuss the real Russian collusion in 2016.
“We have found nothing to show collusion between President Trump & Russia, absolutely zero, but every day we get more documentation showing collusion between the FBI & DOJ, the Hillary campaign, foreign spies & Russians, incredible.” @SaraCarterDC @LouDobbs

Shortly after that, Trump referenced a Fox & Friends segment based on a Daily Caller article about FBI media leaks (which, ironically enough, was sourced via media leaks).
New Strzok-Page texts reveal “Media Leak Strategy.” @FoxNews So terrible, and NOTHING is being done at DOJ or FBI – but the world is watching, and they get it completely.

Judge Andrew Napolitano was on to talk about this news today, and he said the government is “the best leaker in the world” since federal operatives have been known to leak information in order to use the ensuing media coverage as the basis for obtaining FISA warrants.
“This is obviously the wrong way for the FBI to conduct law enforcement,” Napolitano said. “Here’s what a lot of people probably want to know: is it a crime? Depends on what they leaked. If they leaked secrets, grand jury information, they could be prosecuted.”
In his last tweet, Trump apparently quoted Dobbs again to take another subtle swipe at Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“ERIC Holder could be running the Justice Department right now and it would be behaving no differently than it is.” @LouDobbs

Don’t worry though. As Trump raged against the Russia probe and the DOJ for doing “NOTHING,” he did take a second to acknowledge the anniversary of 9/11.

And then, he hailed his lawyer Rudy Giuliani, mayor of New York during 9/11, who appeared on Fox & Friends this morning to relive the tragedy:
Rudy Giuliani did a GREAT job as Mayor of NYC during the period of September 11th. His leadership, bravery and skill must never be forgotten. Rudy is a TRUE WARRIOR!
