Karl Rove Rips Into Trump For Considering DOJ Probe Of Hillary Clinton
The Daily Caller ^ | 08/31/2018 | Nick Givas |

Posted on 08/31/2018 12:07:32 PM PDT by detective

Republican strategist Karl Rove ripped into President Donald Trump on “America’s Newsroom” Friday for considering a Justice Department investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“I think it’s unwise for any president of any party to look like he is demanding that the Justice Department investigate his political opponents,” Rove said.

“It is just unseemly. I think a good test of this is turnabout. What if Hillary Clinton had won the election? Would we be excited about Hillary Clinton calling upon her attorney general to investigate Donald Trump over the meeting at the Trump Tower?”

Rove said that’s not the way “we do things” in America and advised Trump to stop talking about a possible Clinton investigation altogether.

Rove also spoke about Sessions.

Rove said, “If Jeff Sessions leaves after the midterms you can bet that his nominated successor by President Trump is going to face some very tough questions about the independence of the Justice Department if he is confirmed.”

Rove probably moonlights as a bartender at Chappaqua luncheons.

I never thought Hillary was Carl’s type. Oh well. Whatever floats your boat.

As always with Rove threads, remember how he told us about how he was always for Reagan and gave his all for him, until it was found out that in 1980, he had been trying to undermine Reagan behind the scenes in favour of GHWB (no surprise).

Rove is equating ANYTHING Trump may possibly have done, with HILLARY CLINTON’S decades of crime and treason?? I wish FOX would stop using him as a consultant. (We only watch FOX News). He’s one of the biggest NeverTrumper Rinos in the known world.

I’m sorry. But who is Karl Rove again? And why is what he thinks or says or does important to me?

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, breaking the law should be investigated! PERIOD!

For Rove (apparently a Deep Stater) to suggest that just because she is with the opposing party shouldn’t be required to face the music, if she is breaking the law, is a complete and utter MORON!!

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW YOU DEEP STATE JACK ASSES!!

Rove’s probably worried his name is in the Hillary emails the FBI never searched.

Hillary and Bill Clinton are now part of the Busch family, so he has to protect them as one of their vassals.

The trouble with this is that Hillary is guilty of a lot more than meetings. And she has been guilty for many, many years. She has just gotten away with it. But she is evil and she is guilty as sin. Rove obviously thinks it's okay for her to be above the law.

Rove is a New World Oder stooge.
Of course he wants to protect one of his brethren.

I suspect the Bush people are getting nervous too.

The globalists had no problem dragging Trump, the sitting President, through the garbage. Let us see how they fair with the same treatment.

I probably would have agreed about investigating an opponent, but many things have changed. + if there was a real investigation into Hillary, and timely, Hillary wouldn’t have even been nominated.

Hillary is the Founder of the Resistance. She is behind the Impeachment talk. When an opponent speaks up like this they are fair game.

And Hillary has baggage a Mile long and a Dollar short.

Lock her Up!

What is he talking about!? The left is already investigating their political opponent (Trump) as if Hillary WAS elected.
