The juxtapositions did not go unnoticed:
\u201cJUST IN: Trump begins 9/11 with tweet attacking FBI and Justice Dept https://t.co/7Ii2vwnlpl\u201d— The Hill (@The Hill) 1536666963
\u201cNEW: On the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, President Trump tweets about the Russia investigation, notes the 9/11 anniversary, and thanks his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani for his service as NYC mayor during and after the attacks.\u201d— NBC Politics (@NBC Politics) 1536667807
And the reaction was pretty much:
