MSNBC's Joy Reid: Threatening To Jail Political Opponents Happens In The Congo, Not USA
RCP Video ^ | 10-9-2016 | Tim Hains

JOY REID, MSNBC: I don't want to be dramatic with it, but my father came to this country from the Democratic Republic of the Congo... We need to not speed past the point that an American candidate for president threatened to jail his political opponent. .....

(snip)

.... as of this summer, a political opponent of the current leader was put in jail on charges. This happens in Malaysia, this happens in Uganda, this does not happen in the United States of America.

Americans want to see justice prevail, and preserve our nation as a nation of rules and laws.

Keep pretending Hillary is innocent, Ms. Reid. Only you and other UnAmericans can continue the two-tier justice system as if everything is just perfectly peachy.

Liberals always seem to forget about this silly inconvenient thing called the law.

Lady, jail is nothing compared to what real Americans want to do to them.
The Rosenbergs comes to mind.

It was shorthand, Joy. Trump was saying indict her, give her a fair trial, then jail.

A criminal running for President happens in the Congo, not the US.

What would you give to have G Gordon Liddy in the same room with her when she made that comment? Up here in Canada, at about this time in 1970, the current pretty boy Prime Minister’s father used the War Measures Act to detain union activists or anyone else in Quebec at the time the Liberals did not like indefinitely.

Failing to jail politicians for their crimes is how and why our system is now so utterly corrupt. Iceland has figured that out, and is jailing the rich and powerful for their crimes. And Iceland is no "banana republic." “Laws control the lesser man, right conduct controls the greater one, and neither control politicians.” ~ Mark Twain

"The Rosenbergs comes to mind."

Sorry, but the first thing that comes to my mind vis-a-vis the Clintons is: Ceausescu ...

Except when they threatened to try W for war crimes and put Karl Rove in prison.

Except that Hillary broke the law and we can prove it.

The only reason she’s not in jail now is because the system is corrupt.

Trump should demonstrate his magnanimity by saying that if Hillary is charged with treason or other capital crimes, he will only ask for a prison sentence.

She’s disparaging an African country other than South Africa?

Racist.

We shouldn’t beat around the bush. Hillary *perjured* herself to the FBI, just like her husband perjured himself in front of congress and was impeached for it. I imagine it’s only a matter of time before Chelsea manages to perjure herself for something as well, probably as fallout from the Clinton Foundation. After all, perjury seems to either run in the family, or is contagious.

Hillary Perjury Clinton, now all but on par with her husband, William Jefferson Blythe Perjury Clinton.

Shall we revisit all of the Liberals who were calling for George W. Bush to be imprisoned back in ‘06?
