CNN Host Asks If FBI Should Have ‘Shut Down’ Trump Supporters Chanting ‘Lock Her Up
Washington Free Bacon ^

Posted on 04/02/2019 3:46:16 PM PDT by MNDude

CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour called "lock her up" chants by Donald Trump supporters "hate speech" in a new interview and asked James Comey if he wished he had "shut down that language" in his capacity as FBI Director at the time.

Amanpour recounted the frequent chants at Trump 2016 campaign rallies about imprisoning Hillary Clinton for her perceived crimes and wondered if they should have been legal, but Comey responded it was not the role of government officials to censor that speech.

"Do you, in retrospect, wish that people like yourself, the head of the FBI, the people in charge of law and order, had shut down that language, that it was dangerous potentially, that it could have created violence, that it's kind of hate speech? Should that have been allowed?"

Actually locking her up would definitely have shut down the chants.

Let me get this straight. Antifa gets to run wild on our streets and commit mayhem, Pussy hat wearing lunatics get to spit on people and scream in their faces, feral youths get to beat up old mean wearing MAGA hats but Trump supporters are supposed to be arrested for chanting peacefully?

Clown world.

I’m supposed to treat that hag respectfully when she threatens freedom of speech?

She can rot in hell.

What, does she think she's in Canada, England, Europe, or Australia? And probably others.

Additionally, shows a basic misunderstanding of the size of that portion of the population doing the shouting. By no means were all of them on TV.

Even arresting all the ones who were on TV would be difficult at best and, at worst, the “Fort Sumter” moment when that which is called “government” rebels against We, the People.

Illegal Immigrants and Muslims and Black Genocidal Panthers can have “free speech” (IE Hate Speech), but American born White Christian Conservatives can’t? HUH?

Can’t everything CNN writes about President Trump be called hate speech?

Amanpour wasnt the tiniest bit biased asking that question? She is after all one of the Clinton's fave journos.

The Clinton Foundation lists "notable past members."
This page was carried in the Clinton Foundation archives....until recently.

Page has since been deleted from Clinton Foundation archives.

Journalists Dined at Top Clinton Staffers Homes Days Before Hillary’s announcement of her candidacy
Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers

Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.

The guest list for an earlier event at the home of her campaign manager, John Podesta, was limited to reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. —snip—

ITEM-—Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013. So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because they’re informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillary’s bidding the whole time.

Trump Administration Sends List of Russian Collusion Liars to TV Producers
Infowars ^ | 3/25/19 | Paul Joseph Watson / FR Posted by markomalley
The Trump administration has sent a memo to TV producers which contains a list of Russian collusion liars, advising networks to challenge individuals like Rep. Adam Schiff on their “false claims” in future.

The memo, sent by Trump’s Director of Communications Tim Murtaugh, was sent a day after the Mueller investigation’s conclusion which completely vindicated President Trump. It lists Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Rep. Adam Schiff, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Rep. Eric Swalwell, DNC Chairman Tom Perez and former CIA director John Brennan. https://i.imgur.com/g5nGeIK.png

Comey said Attorney General William Barr deserved the benefit of the doubt over what the Justice Department ultimately redacts from the Robert Mueller report.

"Give him a chance to show us what he feels like he can't show us," he said.

And what if Barr desides there is nothing " he can't show us?"

That might get a little tricky Mr Comey.
