President Trump on Tuesday tweeted out a quote from Fox News judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano in which he agreed with the president that the Justice Department had evidence of Hillary Clinton’s criminal acts.
Napolitano told Fox News host Martha MacCallum that somebody had a “treasure trove of evidence” against Clinton’s criminality that he feels should had been investigated.
“’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,” Trump tweeted.

Other than a few retweets, it was Trump’s first tweet since Saturday.
Trump followed up that tweet with a few others quoting other talking heads on TV who support his argument that he didn’t collude with Russia to win the 2016 election, and summed them all up with a single tweet saying, “WITCH HUNT!”
WITCH HUNT!

In one tweet, Trump quoted George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley, who said “I just don’t see the evidence” about Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 campaign.
“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

In another, he quoted lawyer Ken Starr who also said there was “no evidence of collusion.”
Starr says he doesn’t see anything that suggests Trump has obstructed justice, and claims he was only exercising his presidential powers. “I just don’t see it,” Starr said in the quote Trump tweeted.
“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
