Trump Goes On Tweetstorm About Leaks, Pardons, and ‘The Many Hillary Clinton or Comey Crimes’
President Trump went on yet another tweetstorm this morning, mostly in response to “illegal leaks” of stories to the press.
He first reacted to the report last night from The Washington Post about Jeff Sessions‘ conversations with the Russian ambassador:
A new INTELLIGENCE LEAK from the Amazon Washington Post,this time against A.G. Jeff Sessions.These illegal leaks, like Comey's, must stop!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2017
And then he accused the “Failing New York Times“––the paper he gave an interview to this week––of foiling efforts to take out ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, something that was brought up on Fox & Friends earlier:
The Failing New York Times foiled U.S. attempt to kill the single most wanted terrorist,Al-Baghdadi.Their sick agenda over National Security

After one tweet about him going to the Commissioning Ceremony for the USS Gerald R. Ford, the President continued his tweetstorm talking about leaks, his pardoning power, and “the many Hillary Clinton or [James] Comey crimes”:
While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us.FAKE NEWS

So many people are asking why isn't the A.G. or Special Council looking at the many Hillary Clinton or Comey crimes. 33,000 e-mails deleted?

…What about all of the Clinton ties to Russia, including Podesta Company, Uranium deal, Russian Reset, big dollar speeches etc.

My son Donald openly gave his e-mails to the media & authorities whereas Crooked Hillary Clinton deleted (& acid washed) her 33,000 e-mails!
