President Donald Trump quoted Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs on Tuesday to attack former Attorney General Eric Holder, fired FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
Trump referred to a new letter from Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), which quotes portions of two text messages — without context — from Strzok to Page. Strzok’s attorney told Fox News the phrase “refers to a Department-wide initiative to detect and stop leaks to the media.”
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.

“ERIC Holder could be running the Justice Department right now and it would be behaving no differently than it is.” @LouDobbs

So two completely different AG’s from two parties with two generally opposed world-views would run the investigations the same way? Doesn’t that mean that maybe that the facts (and the actual law) just aren’t what the President wants them to be?
At a certain point it must be tiring to keep trying to alter reality through mean-spirited tweeting.
It’s the Freedom Caucus talking. That wrestler from Ohio is obsessed. Also Fox News is trying to divert attention from the book “Fear”” which came out today.
Maybe 45 has such a short attention span that only parts of sentences are able to filter in.

This is not a day for the usual unhinged Trump politics. This is a day to remember the innocent Americans we lost and the brave first responders who gave their lives. They’re the best of America and we should honor their sacrifice.
