Buttigieg Backs a Future Criminal Investigation Into Trump
The Atlantic ^ | June 13, 2019 | Edward-Isaac Dovere

The South Bend, Indiana, mayor told The Atlantic he’d be wary of directing his attorney general to pursue charges, but would want “any credible allegation” to be examined.

If Pete Buttigieg beats Donald Trump in 2020, he’d support a criminal investigation into the former president.

“To the extent that there’s an obstruction case, then yes, DOJ’s got to deal with it,” the South Bend, Indiana, mayor said on Wednesday, during a meeting with Atlantic editors and reporters. Citing Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon after Watergate, Buttigieg said he would not be interested in doing the same for Trump.

“I would want any credible allegation of criminal behavior to be investigated to the fullest,” Buttigieg said—something a pardon would preclude.

Can anyone explain why we should be trying to share a country with these people?

I suggest that Buttgag has more to worry about than fantasies about President Trump.

Buttgag should be worrying where his next PrEP dose of Truvada is coming from. HIV is a horrible way to die.

Which would be extremely illegal but what does that matter? Once liberals get power they’re all above the law. They whined from the rooftops about our fading 4th amendment rights when the Patriot Act was passed. But apparently they think that those rights belong only to them.

Someone should tell Butt there are openings at the FBI to prosecute people who haven’t committed a crime. Entrapment skills would really help improve your resume.

Is he trying to make the case that Obama should be investigated for criminal charges?

Buttigieg is just about the smarmiest person I think I’ve ever seen. Someone THAT self-righteous must have a lot of skeletons in his closet.

We are not going to be able to coexist with these people. Its been tried before and failed miserably every time. A queer man is an insane man.

I seriously doubt Barr will do that. Which probably goes a long way towards explaining why he is DOING NOTHING (other than occasionally Hanging something out in a Limited fashion to make us think he is doing something). If Barr starts arresting people like the Ohrs that fuse burns right straight into the Oval Offcie of 0bama and he knows it. It is pretty apparent to me that Barr knows that pissing us off is a lot safer than pissing of the DNC, the Deep State, and the Brown Shirt Media. My bet is Barr will continue to dribble out just enough that we stay in the LaZboy satisfied that “things are being taken care of THIS TIME”.

So the GOP will need to do the same next time a Dem leaves office.
