Donald Trump Returns to Familiar Rhetoric By Slamming Hillary Clinton in Attempt to Distract From Russia Probe – Newsweek

Donald Trump returns to campaign-style rhetoric in an apparent attempt to shift attention way from Russias alleged interference in the presidential election by hitting out at his former rival Hillary Clinton.

In a series of tweetsSaturday morning, the president questioned Clintons own ties to Russia, as well as her use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state.

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? he wrote, not specifying who was asking for a further investigation into Clintons emails, the FBI having concluded their own investigation prior to the election.

...What about all of the Clinton ties to Russia, including Podesta Company, Uranium deal, Russian Reset, big dollar speeches etc., Trump said, adding: My son Donald openly gave his e-mails to the media & authorities whereas Crooked Hillary Clinton deleted (& acid washed) her 33,000 e-mails!

During Trumps election campaign, the topic of Clintons email use was a frequent one, with his supporters frequently chanting, lock her up when he referred to his Democrat rival.

But despite suggesting he would pursue a further investigation into Clintons emails if elected, Trumps tack initially changed once he won the election, stating back in December 2016 that prosecuting Clinton is not something I feel very strongly about, CNN reported.

However, since news emerged that Trumps son Donald Jr. met with a Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer who promised him damaging information on Hillary Clinton during the election campaign, Trump has once again turned his attention to his former rival, using social media to resort to tactics that played well for him during his election campaign.

As media attention on his so increased, Trump wrote on July 16: HillaryClinton can illegally get the questions to the Debate & delete 33,000 emails but my son Don is being scorned by the Fake News Media?

And reacting to another story on the information into election meddling by Russia, Trump wrote: Why aren't the same standards placed on the Democrats. Look what Hillary Clinton may have gotten away with. Disgraceful!
