Fox's Brian Kilmeade: Why Doesn't President Trump 'Run a Private Investigation Into Adam Schiff?'

by Colby Hall | Feb 7th, 2019, 7:19 am

Fox & Friends addressed investigations into President Donald Trump and brought on Fox News Chief Legal Analyst Andrew Napolitano to provide insight into the growing list of investigations into Trump, his personal business, his family, his inauguration and his administration.

The pro-Trump morning show typically takes the view that these investigations are “presidential harassment,” and in this segment co-host Brian Kilmeade simply asked why President Trump doesn’t investigate Trump’s political rivals, Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Maxine Waters? “How did they become rich?”

Earlier Thursday morning, Trump had tweeted about what he clearly sees as a “witch hunt” posting on the social media platform that “after having found zero Russian Collusion, that he is going to be looking at every aspect of my life, both financial and personal, even though there is no reason to be doing so. Never happened before! Unlimited Presidential Harassment…” and eventually adding Dems are going “Nuts.”

Co-host Ainsley Earhardt amplified that idea with “This is never going to end. We are two years into the administration at the continuation of investigation after investigation.”

Absolutely brilliant, Brian! Maybe Trump could use the same investigators who found all that incredible, unbelievable stuff in Hawaii about Obama's birth certificate? Say, whatever happened to those guys? Whitman, Price and Haddad, if memory serves.

IIRC, Whitman, Price and Haddad were in Hawaii. It was set in 2017.

What I've never been able to figure out is what the hell is Sven's sole line near the end of the movie. Killian says " What's the matter? Steroids make you deaf?" And Sven says something in a mumbled, heavy accent before turning his back and walking away... Not a clue.

Next Kilmeade will be promoting Trumps dream of republican senators investigating democratic congress members. In which the Democratic congress could just in return investigate U.S. Senators and then state attorney generals could just investigate either in retaliation which would result in the end of the union.

You would have to convince 20 Republican senators to convict. On the other hand, if they get the Dems to back off they can get away with their crimes and come election time would walk around like the accusations were nothing.
