Clinton: DOJ investigating me would be 'abuse of power'
The Hill ^ | 11/16/2017 | Josh Delk

Posted on 11/16/2017 8:54:33 AM PST by EagleUSA

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday warned that if President Trump directs his Justice Department to investigate her role in a 2010 sale of a uranium company, it would be "a disastrous step into politicizing the Justice Department."

"This is such an abuse of power," Clinton said in an interview with Mother Jones, following reports that the Justice Department is considering appointing a special counsel to investigate.

"I regret if they do it because it will be such a disastrous step to politicizing the justice system," she said. "If they send a signal that we're going to be like some dictatorship, like some authoritarian regime, where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated, that rips at the fabric of the contract we have, that we can trust our justice system."

Does she say these things out loud in private before she spouts them in public? I guess the irony is lost on her.

...because it will be such a disastrous step to politicizing the justice system.

Conveniently, and in the most self-serving manner, Clinton omits mention of politicized Attorney Generals Janet Reno, Eric Holder, and Loretta Lynch.

Whereas POTUS has said he wants the SC investigating him to run to its full conclusion.

Which one of these two sounds scared?

Why couldn’t she just say; “I’ll more than gladly take a dozen polygraphs just to end this all now.”

This from the woman that hid 150 FBI files in the WH residence. Biggest abuser of power in history. I guess she would know.

Hillary selling 20 percent of America's uranium to enrich her personal Clinton Foundation coffers is the height of 'abuse of power'..

IF SHE'S INNOCENT OF ANY WRONGDOING SHE SHOULD WELCOME AN INVESTIGATION TO CLEAR HER NAME! But she is GUILTY AS SIN so of course she's protesting such an investigation!

A little early to play the “dictatorship” card, don’t you think?

A dictatorship... pretty much what she’s after, huh ‘queen hitlery’???
Your throne shall be a concrete bench, your court a razor-wire fenced yard, and your royal adornments an orange coveral with cuffs and chains.

Well, she set the wheels in motion to have Trump investigated. Does she think she’s above him? Oh, wait!
