“Donald Trump’s threat to possibly jail her “is something that we don’t do here.” “

Is it expected that plain as day destruction of evidence under subpoena is simply ignored? I was not aware that we had a tradition that elite criminals were beyond the law.

No dipshit, banana republic is the ability to commit crimes and to expect that nobody will investigate them. And he will only do what Obama should have, have his AG appoint an Independent Counsel.

Still lying and saying Trump threatened to jail Hillary, implying that it would be without due process to boot. And this is the guy who said that Comey had enough to indict Hillary on. Really twisted people, these are.


Yes, tell the truth!!!

I do believe he called for a special prosecutor, and didn’t threaten to jail her himself.

Bunch of lying ass Republican trash.

Former Republican Attorney General Michael Mukasey has been one of the most vocal critics of Hillary Clinton over her email use, but he says Donald Trump’s threat to possibly jail her “is something that we don’t do here.”

Well he's not wrong. We apparently don't enforce laws anymore.

Maybe Mukasey is worried because he's part of the group that stands to lose under a Trump presidency.

He is an attorney presumably.

He is either very poorly trained in the law, OR he is speaking of politics and tradition, not law.
Either way, the lightweight intellect can be ignored. About what I’d expect from a Bush appointee.

In banana republics elites connected to the ruling regime are above the law and use the government to go after political opponents, and nothing can be done about it.

We are already a banana republic. Equal treatment under the law is dead.

“it would be like a banana republic”

Obama has already turned the US into a banana republic; albeit, without the banana-growing climate.

And she would be in prison (not jail) for crimes of corruption; not simply because she is the "opposition".

Some people cannot be educated.

What a Tard! The only thing Trump threatened was a special prosecutor- due process and rule of law...if she’s not a criminal, she should have nothing to worry about.

you know, either he’s totally lying, knowing that is not what trump said or meant, or, as I suspected all along, people in government are really retarded.

Well, Trump did say “you’d be in jail”. In the past here, and even presently in Europe, “jail” and “prison” are actually synonyms, IINM.

Well, if “retarded” and “ideological” are synonyms in government, then certainly. Reagan wasn’t wrong about the sentence “I’m from the government and I’m here to help” being the scariest thing one can say in the English language

“They fear Trump.”

Yup, they are all petrified that they will lose their access and influence in DC. To these people access + influence = power + money.
DJT needs to win to flush all these people, on both sides of the aisle, down the DC sewers!!
