After his comment during the Sunday debate that if he were president, Hillary Clinton would “be in jail,” Donald Trump on Monday afternoon again brought up his plan to assign a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton.
As the crowd at his rally in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, chanted, “Locker her up,” Trump said, “Special prosecutor, here we go, right?”
His comments at the rally came after he went after Clinton for setting up a private email server, complaining that the debate moderators on Sunday “didn’t call her out.” He charged that Clinton lied when she said she did not delete her emails.
“I wonder if the NSA has her emails?” Trump then wondered before saying he doubts the NSA looked very hard for Clinton’s personal emails.
During the debate on Sunday, Trump called for an investigation into Clinton.
“If I win, I’m going to instruct the attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there’s never been so many lies, so much deception,” he said. “We’re going to get a special prosecutor because people have been, their lives have been destroyed for doing one fifth of what you’ve done.”
While responding to Trump, Clinton said that it’s “awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law of our country.”
“Because you’d be in jail,” Trump hit back.
Hillary will take the high road, I’m sure, but when she wins, she should appoint a special prosecutor to this orange asshole, just for shits and giggles. Sometimes, the low road is a lot of fun.
“If I win, I’m going to instruct the attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there’s never been so many lies, so much deception,” he said.
Really? You might want to read up on the Nixon and Reagan administrations, Mr. Trump.
And if you lose, you will go back to being a dodgy, scamming letch.
After this election dictionaries will add “to flail” as a definition for “to trump”…
This is going to be interesting (in a kind of creepy, Oswald-Mosley-the-Would-Be-British-Nazi-Party-leader kind of way): Trump will continue doubling- and quadrupling-down on the most outrageously fascist Breitbartian applause lines, precisely because that gets him the rabid response to which he’s addicted, and while the rest of the nation, including the slightly-less-insane-but-still-corrupt GOP, are running for the exits.
By 4 weeks from now, Trump and his Trumpistas will have disappeared up each others’ assholes in a death spiral of insular self-referentiality. I’m hoping Secret Service is ratcheting up scrutiny and vigilance–we’re going to need it.
