Trump Just Threatened Democrats With Investigations: ‘Two Can Play That Game!’
Donald Trump threatened to fight to any House Democratic efforts to investigate the White House by saying he would counter with investigations “at the Senate level” following the midterm election that ensured the two chambers of Congress would be divided for the next two years.
“If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level. Two can play that game!” Trump tweeted.

Twitter quickly told Trump how it works:
"waste Taxpayers Money?" …like golf trips every weekend, rallies a couple of times a week… kinda like that, right?

You definitely sound like someone who thinks he won a big victory and not someone who is scared because he lost the Midwest, a house of Congress, and 7 governorships to a broad popular vote rejection. Really.

It’s not a game. You also don’t have a supermajority in the senate
