Yet funnily after all that he was still elected President.

Nice try, but he stepped aside from the Chair of the investigation because of what he did (from the LA Times).

And if he was cleared because the information he received was unclassified, so was the transcript released by Feinstein - so they are either both in the wrong, or they are both in the right (unless it’s the fact that Feinstein is a Democrat).

On an unrelated note, a judge used Trump’s tweet (in support of DACA) as one of the reasons why the DACA phase out should blocked.

The White House yet again learned that the hard way when, on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco blocked the administration’s attempt to phase out Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the Obama-era program that protects young undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Alsup was tasked with, among other things, determining whether it would serve the public interest to leave DACA in place while litigation over the decision to scrap the program proceeds.

On this point, he had an easy answer: Trump himself had expressed support for DACA on Twitter in September, just days after Department of Homeland Security officials rescinded it.

“Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!” the president wrote in a Sept. 14 tweet. Another read: “Congress now has 6 months to legalize DACA (something the Obama Administration was unable to do). If they can’t, I will revisit this issue!”

Those lines seemed to capture the program’s benefits in a nutshell, Alsup wrote in a 49-page order.

“We seem to be in the unusual position wherein the ultimate authority over the agency, the Chief Executive, publicly favors the very program the agency has ended,” the judge wrote. “For the reasons DACA was instituted and for the reasons tweeted by President Trump, this order finds that the public interest will be served by DACA’s continuation.”
