Just as the congressional baseball teams were making final preparations to take the field Thursday night in a show of unity, President Trump decided to take a shot both as his investigators and his former opponent, now known as “Crooked H” for short.
Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?

Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, 'bleached' emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?

This is like when a comedian is bombing and he returns to his old old old material https://t.co/K5jUNcBPAb

Yeah, but lots of people think the classic material was way better.
Both your and Trump's claims are true. And "Crooked H" sounds like a helluva name for a ranch.

Whatever you think of the timing, the president did manage to awaken the long-dormant rapid response account for the Hillary Clinton campaign, which CNN’s Dan Merica noted hadn’t tweeted since the eve of Election Day.
Hillary Clinton's 2016 rapid response account hadn't tweeted since November 7. They respond to Trump here with, "You're Still Here?" https://t.co/OdwiS0LTM2

Somebody still remembered the password — not that the Clinton campaign was known for very strong passwords.

Not bad … but that means someone’s still there.
In any case, “Crooked H” quickly began ascending Twitter’s list of trending topics.
