Donald Trump was fundraising Tuesday off the House Benghazi Committee’s final report, offering donors the chance to “indict” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by donating the campaign $5, $10 or more.
“Every Election Day, politicians stand trial before the people,” team Trump wrote in a fundraising email. “The voters are the jury. Their ballots are the verdict.”
Calling the presumptive Democratic nominee “a world-class liar,” the email said voters will have the chance in November to “INDICT HILLARY CLINTON AND FIND HER GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES.”
The email didn’t specify what charges those might be.

In the report, House Republicans faulted the Obama administration for a slow response to the 2012 siege on the U.S. diplomatic compound but offered up no new allegations about Clinton’s handling of the attack.
Getting a little desperate for cash?
Trump: “Justice for sale! Get your justice here! Indictments–just 8 dollars! Justice for sale!!”
I can see why his emails go to so many folks’ Junk Folder.
Maybe ‘John Miller’ could chip in some serious bank.
He’s really rich, you know.
Unclear about separation of powers, are we?
