As the investigation into President Donald Trump's alleged dealings with Russia [1] continues to heat up, one of Hillary Clinton's old campaign accounts decided it was time to fight back. When Trump asked in a tweet why no one was looking into Hillary Clinton's supposed ties with Russia, one of her long-inactive campaign accounts tweeted a message back to him. Clearly, whoever still has access to that handle is tired of Trump bringing Clinton into the conversation [2].
Ahead is Trump's original tweet on June 15:
Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?

A few hours later, The Briefing, which used to tweet fact checks and stories about Trump during the election, tweeted out the following response:

It was The Briefing's first tweet since Nov. 7 and the internet quickly applauded the return.

Of course, there's a simple answer to Trump's query: he's the president and Hillary Clinton is not.
