An increasingly furious President Trump has taken to twitter this afternoon to express his outrage, in a way only the President can, over the thinly-veiled double standard within the U.S. intelligence community and mainstream media over how they basically ignored the Hillary Clinton email scandal while endlessly pursuing his administration without being able to present a single shred of tangible evidence that any wrong doing ever occurred.
"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?"

Of course, he seems to have a point on this one. Last summer, we reported fairly extensively on the Hillary email scandal while it was virtually glossed over by the mainstream media.
And, like many people, we were astonished when FBI Director Comey made the unilateral assessment that, despite Hillary's "extreme carelessness," no "reasonable" prosecutor would bring charges against her.
Unlike the current "Russia probe" which has revealed precisely zero tangible evidence, the FBI's own reports from last summer revealed that Hillary and her staff intentionally destroyed official State Department emails despite confirming they were aware of the existence of a federal subpoena demanding the preservation of those emails (we covered it extensively here: The "Oh Shit" Moment: Hillary Wiped Her Server With BleachBit Despite Subpoena). For the record, destruction of evidence is actually a federal crime.
And even though Comey couldn't find "intent," as we pointed out last September, 1 internet sleuth was able to find it for him with a couple of simple internet searches (see "Dear FBI, This Is Intent: Hillary's "Oh Shit" Guy Sought Reddit Advice On How To "Strip VIP's Emails").
