President Donald Trump told Newsmax on Thursday he has information about Hillary Clinton and former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden that could be used against them, raising the possibility of pursuing his political adversaries if Democrats regain control of Congress and attempt to impeach him for a third time.
In an exclusive interview on "Finnerty," Trump said he previously declined opportunities to pursue criminal investigations of Clinton, his 2016 presidential opponent, but suggested that another impeachment effort could change the situation.
"I could have done numbers in Hillary Clinton. I could have done numbers in Bill Clinton. I do like Bill Clinton. I could have done numbers in Barack Hussein Obama. Still could. I still could," Trump said.
"I could do big numbers if I wanted to. I've turned down going after Hillary Clinton. Big numbers. I'm talking about going after them criminally."
Trump also claimed his administration possessed damaging information about the three prominent Democrats.
"I could have done something having to do with their reputations, destroyed their reputations," he said. "We have a lot of information about Hillary. We have a lot of information about Barack Hussein Obama. We have a lot of information on Sleepy Joe Biden."
Asked by host Rob Finnerty whether he intended to act on that information, Trump replied, "Well, I mean, I guess not. Probably not. But I think if they impeach me again, you know, again."
"Things could get ugly," Finnerty interjected.
Trump did not specify what information he possessed or identify any potential criminal charges against Clinton, Obama, or Biden. ***
The renewed warning comes as Democrats seek to regain control of the House and Senate in the Nov. 3 midterm elections. ***

Whatever happened to “Lock her up”?
“During a speech, crooked Hillary Clinton, oh she’s crooked folks, she’s as crooked as a three dollar bill. Here’s one, just came out. Lock her up is right,” Trump, October 10, 2016
…impotent.

Could be a bluff, but in some games/strategies you don’t play all your cards. It’s better to keep them.
Trump is basically telling certain people, he can go to war and he has leverage, but it’s their choice.
I think he made the assessment that doing so would do more harm to the country than any resulting “good.”
Good. Use it to win the mid-terms.
Like Nixon in 1960?
He’ll never do it. He just won’t.
If Trump has this info on illegal actions by all these people and he’s just choosing not to investigate and punish them then I think he’s just a friggin idiot. What the hell???!!!!
Yawwwwwwn. TACO.
He’s most likely talking about embarrassing information that’s not strictly illegal.
So this is a glimpse into our political future.
Nothing will be done for two years if we lose the house.
My Number 1 rule about Trump.
Ignore what he says. Pay attention to what he does.
Trouble is…… he says more than he does.
TACO.
Release it now!
It got him elected, then he went quiet about it. then last year Trump 47 Blatantly mocks those who were chanting it.
The new age Demons would throw them all except maybe Obungo under the bus to get Trump. The old white senile rapists have outlived their usefulness.
HE’S WAY TOO NICE, IT IS HIS BIGGEST FAULT.
TACO
