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.

Ah, there’s no joy in Liberaltopia...
I have to ask, Why? I mean I know but in this situation the Rosenbergs,husband and wife, traitors, were as Ceausescu was already ruling. Believe me I like either ending for them.
Technically, Trump threatened her with a special prosecutor, not jail. It was his opinion that she should be in jail, but that was not the threat. Folks need to calm the heck down. We all believe that she should be in jail, even Martha Stewart probably believes it. They just like her getting away with it, bc she is on their side.
It's a fairly crude form of persuasion. It's really only aimed at the Hilldemons anyway.
Ok Joy I’ll side with you. He should have instead said that beginning January 2017 traitors to this country will once again be executed.
Guess what, Joy? Criminals go to prison. Even IF their name is Clinton. Even IF they’re part of the Establishment.
Apparently, she’s never heard of John Chisholm’s witch hunt on conservatives in Wisconsin.
Joy Reid has it backwards as usual.
Refusing to prosecute criminals because of who they are or who they are connected to happens in the Congo, and it’s not supposed to happen in the United States. The only reason Hillary isn’t in the cell Jonathan Pollard occupied for 20 years, over a less severe offense, is that Hillary is above the law.
This woman is not an idiot - because she knows exactly what she’s doing, which is trying to manipulate the public.
Listen, if Trump wanted to jail her FOR BEING HIS OPPONENT, that would be very Turd World. However, there are legit questions about a multitude of law-breaking allegations...and both the FBI and the Dept of (some) Justice have punted on Clinton, because of politics. This is EXACTLY why you appoint a Special Prosecutor - someone empowered by Congress to wade through the politics and ignore them, and to find out the TRUTH, and to charge people with crimes if there’s sufficient evidence to do so.
This is about nothing more or less than the principle of Equal Justice Under Law. Either we have it, or we don’t. So far it appears that this principle died some time ago...but a Special Prosecutor could revive it.
Oh, and if she didn’t do anything, she’d be able to crow about that to the world, free as a bird.
We want TRUMP to hound Hillary & Bill’s tails until the
cows come home; and if he can jail her - we want him to do
so. JUSTICE. RETIRE THE CLINTONS!

Compare this to the poor schmuck would supposedly made the unseen inflammatory video that was used as the excuse for Hillary's incompetent handling of the Benghazi massacre. This guy was arrested on trumped up charges even though under the First Amendment he had every right to make this video. He was held for months without trial only to be released.
