President Donald Trump on Tuesday night bashed his FBI director, James Comey, and Hillary Clinton, after Clinton placed some blame on the FBI for her loss in the 2016 election.

In two tweets published around 11 p.m. Trump said that Comey aided Clinton by not recommending charges following a probe into her use of a private email server.

During an interview at a Women for Women International luncheon on Tuesday, Clinton said that she was “on the way to winning” the presidency until Wikileaks published her campaign staffers’ emails and the FBI reopened its investigation into her emails.

  3. My God, what a total ass!

    Sometimes no witty or pithy comment can mask the unadulterated disappointment I have that so many of my fellow citizens voted for this odious pile of crap. And still he proves it again day after day. Not one scintilla of self-control or self-reflection.

  4. During the event, Christiane Amanpour and Hillary both joked that Hillary’s comments would lead to a Twatterstorm from the Twatter-in-chief.
