Pompeo Roasts Hillary Clinton Over 'China, Get Trump's Tax Returns' Remark
Sputnik News ^ | May 5, 2019

Posted on 05/04/2019 5:21:14 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Hillary Clinton's comments came at Wednesday’s MSNBC interview with anchor Rachel Maddow, as she flashbacked to Trump's sarcastic call during the 2016 election campaign for Russia to find 33,000 emails deleted from Clinton's private email server, offering a hypothetical: "China, if you're listening, why don't you get Trump's tax returns."

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo lambasted Clinton’s remarks, as Fox News host Laura Ingraham aired the outtakes for Pompeo, who appeared Thursday on The Ingraham Angle.

When asked by the host to comment, he responded:

“So there is a great power contest taking place. I think that’s true. I only wish when she was secretary of state, she would have taken it on instead of allowing it to get where it is today and turning a willful blind eye to that.”

Trump: “Hey Russia, can you get Hillary’s emails for us?”
To say such a thing — Greatest crime of the century.

Hillary: “Hey China, can you get Trump’s tax returns for us?”
To say such a thing — funny, poignant, speaking truth to power, man.

But the reverse also holds. Trump was joking and it is silly of Pompeo to take this one seriously.

Plenty of other reasons for Hillary to sentenced, with due punishment, for treason.

A very reasonable response to The Beast's remarks from a real gentleman.

Let me know when Pompeo initiates 2 years of DOJ persecution of Hillary, based strictly on her little joke about Trump's tax returns.

As First Lady, Hillary was noted for using the IRS to punish her critics.

Wouldn’t the IRS know if there was anything irregular about Trump’s returns?

There's no doubt in my mind that they already have those since she practically gave the secret and top secret emails to them.

How many people are still alive who are part of those FBI files Hillary got years ago?

She returned them, but I am positive she copied them.

That has been her $$$ in the bank for blackmail for years.

When Trump said it, the emails were known to already have been stolen - the crime against US national security had already been committed.

When Clinton said it, she is directly encouraging foreign espionage against the US government. She is directly asking for a crime to be committed.

The difference is night and day, and in Clinton’s case should be at least one additional felony count charged against her.

 "China, if you're listening, why don't you get Trump's tax returns."

The way then-candidate Trump worded his "request", it implied that Russia had already hacked the insecure email server Hillary was using for sensitive State Department email rather than using legally required secure email.

Hillary is asking the Chinese to hack IRS computers.

This whole thing is apples and oranges. We’re talking about Hillary’s emails as a government employee who was known to have classified government information in those emails. Trump’s tax returns are from when he was a PRIVATE citizen with no evidence to suggest he committed any crimes.

Context . . . July 27, 2016

In a news conference near Miami, Florida, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is asked questions on the hacking of the DNC's email system and Russia's alleged role in it and allegations of Trump-Russia collusion.

"Its just a total deflection this whole thing with Russia. In fact I saw her campaign manager I don't know his title Mook I saw him on television and they asked him about Russia and the hacking, and by the way they hacked they probably have her 33,000 emails. I hope they do. They probably have her 33,000 emails that she lost and deleted because you would see some beauties there so lets see but I watched this guy Mook and he talked about we think it was Russia that hacked. Now first of all was what was said on those that's so bad, but he said I watched it I think he was live he said we think it was Russia that hacked. And then he said and I'm just an innocent person sitting watching television as I've been doing and then he said could be Trump yeah yeah Trump Trump oh yeah Trump.

Trump should offer 2 years of tax returns since the election, in exchange for Obama’s original birth certificate (not the ‘certification of birth’ and his admission records from Columbia University, and his passport records from USCIS (last reported ‘missing’).

That hag is presiding over a massive charity fraud, yet she continues spewing allegations about others. The fraud is so total that some researchers believe it wasn’t legally founded at its beginnings in Arkansas let alone ever properly legally organized to operate internationally. The Clintons must be general staff level demons to get away with it.

I hope this traitor hag gets convicted of treason in my lifetime. It would be Justice to see her hanged on the WDC mall (after arrest, fair trial and conviction, of course).
