If I become president I’ll send you to jail!
“I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation.” And he left no ambiguity as to the intended result. “People have been, their lives have been destroyed for doing one fifth of what you have done. And it’s a disgrace.” That would be abuse of office and considered a federal crime.
Clinton later responded, “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.”
This is not how the so called special prosecutors work. There are a number of legal mechanisms for the appointment of special counsel by the attorney general, all designed to allow for investigations of executive-branch officials free from the threat of political interference. Trump proposed the opposite: directing his attorney general to appoint a prosecutor to go after a political rival who he’s publicly said should “be in jail.”
Mussolini style or better still what Putin is doing right now in Russia!
Lets don’t forget what happened with Richard Nixon, for a lot less he ended up having to leave his post as president to avoid criminal charges. Besides Nixon did what he did as President of this great nation, while Trump is tumbling in the polls and should be 15-25 points behind the woman he wants in jail by election day!
What a shame, the world is watching!
