President Trump on Friday called on the Justice Department to launch an investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) over their political activities in 2016, claiming the American public “deserves it.”
In an early-morning tweet storm, Trump seized on revelations about a joint fundraising agreement Clinton signed with the DNC in 2015 to attack his former campaign rival.
Everybody is asking why the Justice Department (and FBI) isn’t looking into all of the dishonesty going on with Crooked Hillary & the Dems..

…New Donna B book says she paid for and stole the Dem Primary. What about the deleted E-mails, Uranium, Podesta, the Server, plus, plus…

….People are angry. At some point the Justice Department, and the FBI, must do what is right and proper. The American public deserves it!

Trump called it “the real story on Collusion.”
Trump’s accusations came in response to Politico’s publication Thursday of an excerpt from former interim DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile’s new book. She cited the fundraising agreement put into place before she took over as chairwoman as “proof” the 2016 Democratic presidential primary was rigged in Clinton’s favor.
