Trump never directed the DOJ to go after Hillary Clinton.
āWhere are all of the arrests?ā Trump said, after several dozen tweets on the subject over the past 24 hours. āCan you imagine if the roles were reversed? Long term sentences would have started two years ago. Shameful!ā
By early afternoon, Trump was letting loose his frustrations in an all-caps missive that seemed aimed at nobody in particular.
āDO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, THE BIGGEST OF ALL POLITICAL SCANDALS (IN HISTORY)!!! BIDEN, OBAMA AND CROOKED HILLARY LED THIS TREASONOUS PLOT!!! BIDEN SHOULDNāT BE ALLOWED TO RUN - GOT CAUGHT!!!ā Trump tweeted.
The day-long run of tweets and retweets marked the most frantic stretch of Trumpās public activity since he left the presidential suite at Walter Reed Medical Center and returned to treatment at the White House.

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions has tasked senior prosecutors with exploring whether alleged misdeeds by Hillary Clinton warrant further investigation, but he pushed back on calls to appoint a special counsel.
The Justice Department disclosed its new tack on Clinton to Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee in a Nov. 13 letter. But if the department's letter seemed to hint it had moved closer to appointing a special counsel for Clinton, Sessions' testimony on Capitol Hill the following day appeared to tamp down these expectations.
Meanwhile, Trump has continued to press the department and FBI to pursue Clinton. The president has been particularly assertive as the investigation into his campaign's ties to Russia has escalated, leading critics to charge that Trump's hectoring is an effort to divert attention from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's findings."
