> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > “I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!” > [x.com](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/998256454590193665) and don’t come back until you have the answer I want! I mean, seriously, exactly what answer do you think he will accept? So far, not one item has been shown to have been for ‘political’ reasons - and since most of it began ‘during’ the election, of course it was ‘made by people within the Obama administration’. ---

That’s just over two per tweet. Way below average for Trump. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I’m not disagreeing with the idea that Giuliani is insane. But I don’t agree with the idea that if the FBI investigates an organization it must be a criminal organization. The FBI has an unfortunate history of investigating legitimate organizations, like the civil rights movement, because of their politics in hopes that it could find some crimes to charge them with. > > I want to emphasize that I don’t think that’s the case here. If the FBI was investigating the Trump campaign it’s because there was evidence if was taking illegal foreign assistance. > > And let’s not forget the reality here: Comey went public with the FBI investigation of the Clinton campaign two weeks before Election Day while maintaining confidentiality about the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign. Very good points. We can’t forget the abuses by the FBI during the Hoover years. Martin Luther King Jr was targeted as were other civil rights leaders. I think Hoover would dig up dirt on every incoming president and use that as leverage to conduct himself as he saw fit. Congressional oversight is essential, but now we see it morphed into one party trying to use this oversight to remain in power. I’ll believe till my dying day that if Comey had kept his yap shut, Hillary would be president. Loretta Lynch should have suppressed that revelation, but she was deathly afraid of being accused of impropriety because she talked to Bill Clinton on the tarmac. ---

> [@MovieMogul](#): > > Except that if you type a Proper Noun often enough on your phone (which is what he seems to do), spell-check usually automatically defaults to the version with the most frequent occurrence. So that means he’s not used to typing his own wife’s name very often (including his personal life, which his phone would remember too). More likely, the tweet was written by a staffer. ---

Tweets with videos, links, or hashtags definitely are not from Trump. It is the tweets that contain intentional spelling errors or typos that are also faked. Trump is so out of touch with regular people that he needs a staff to fake a common touch. I don’t believe that all of his stupidity is fake. In fact, I’d say none of it is fake. What is amusing is that to appeal to the ignorant rubes out there, he has to have someone dumb down his tweets, as if the originals that he does post aren’t dumb enough. ---

He’s poisoning the results of the Muller investigation by pointing out how crooked the DOJ and FBI are. The bad thing is that the US is full of rednecks and hillbillies who believe him.
