They really need to investigate all those things and follow the facts wherever they lead them. Otherwise, our system of justice and law enforcement will remain compromised.

While on the subject of Donald Trump's Tweets .... I fail to see why any truly Patriotic and Concerned American would have a problem with that statement and sentiment. Many African countries, for example, went hell for leather to remove "Colonialists" and "Colonialism" from their countries in order to gain "freedom(?)" and independence. Well, when one looks at the "before and after" state of many of these African states you see impoverishment and genocides and "ethnic cleansing" and malnourished and dying youth and babies. Check out the current state of affairs in the DRC ('Democratic' Republic of the Congo). So having gained this "independence" what have they done with it ? Virtually EFF all !! They never lived under this sort of Crap when the Colonialists were part of their nations. And not only that, many of the corrupt administrations, that head many of these failed states, still expect affluent Western nations, several of whom they kicked out of their countries because they were "dreaded" Colonialists, to supply them with billions of dollars and euros, etc, to prop them up !!! And do these "foreign aid" hand outs actually benefit the populations of these countries ?? NO, is the obvious answer. So, "Well Said" President Trump. First look after your OWN. And if you wish to assist the actual, on the ground, populace of these now impoverished states, send your professionals out there to identify what the populace ACTUALLY NEED for their own benefit and survival, and spend your "foreign aid" money building what is necessary for THEM, using your OWN American Contractors and pay your OWN American contractors out of your foreign aid budget so that this money does not end up in the offshore bank accounts of those CORRUPT heads of states and their fawning lackeys .......
