Donald Trump was feeling defensive on Tuesday morning when he took to Twitter to to bat off the Russia investigation.
Trump quoted Jonathan Turley and Ken Starr as he watched FOX & Friends during Executive Time: ‘“I've been skeptical about the collusion and obstruction claims for the last year. I just don't see the evidence….in terms of the collusion, it's all a bit implausible based on the evidence we have.” Jonathan Turley on @FoxNews‘

Another tweet quoted Starr: ‘“We've seen NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION….I have seen nothing, the firing of James Comey and all of the aftermath, that suggests that the President has obstructed justice because he's exercising his power as the President of the U.S. I just don't see it.” Judge Ken Starr'

An earlier tweet labored on his obsession with making a “criminal” out of the 2016 election's popular vote winner, Hillary Clinton.
“He's got a very good point. Somebody in the Justice Department has a treasure trove of evidence of Mrs. Clinton's criminality at her own hands, or through others, that ought to be investigated. I fully agree with the President on that.” @judgenapolitano on @marthamaccallum Show
