Donald Trump: ‘Let Congress Act Immediately’ Against Hillary Clinton
Breitbart ^ | 8/24/2016 | Alex Swoyer

“She then lied about her crime to Congress,” (Trump) declared, before veering off the teleprompter and calling on Congress to act against Clinton’s alleged lies. “I don’t know if Congress is going to do anything about it, folks. I’m so sick of looking and seeing and I hear reports they don’t do anything. Congress ought to act. She lied to Congress 100 percent. Everybody agrees.”

“By the time they act, you’re going to say, ‘What was it?’ You won’t even remember what happened,” he added. ‘Let Congress act today! Let Congress act immediately!”

Doesn’t matter. The Dems will just point to Obama astronomically high approval rating.

They can not. Just like the FBI this whole government is compromised including top GOP. There will be nothing done.

The fact is, there are 535 co-conspirators in Congress.

534. Sessions seems to be ok.

If Congress determines that she lied to and obstructed a Congressional hearing they can find her in contempt and imprison her. Of course, true to form, they delay action until it becomes politically impossible.

“I mean at this point, what is Congress really there for?”

The problem is ths hit we elect to go there to “serve us.” They actually go there to get themselves “serviced” by the wealthy. Until we vote every last one of the current batch out of office, create by Constiutional Amendment, term limits, and disband the lobbying cabal on K St. making lobbying a felony, nothing will change.

Everything trump brings up against Hillary has to be responded to and reported on. The more he accuses her has just ties her up in responses and denials, etc.

Aren't the Executive Branch and the "Administrative Branch" one and the same?

Let’s start with congress and work from there. The just-us dept won’t do anything. Start draw yup articles of impeachment now. Hold her in contempt of congress and have the capital police arrest her when she steps on the capital grounds if she were to win the election.

Do you think Trump should dissolve Congress and then establish a rule by military fiat?

Congress, or at least the Congressional leadership, sold out to Obama/Hilliary’s IslamoNazi financier backers....years ago

An honest Congress would have brought articles of impeachment LONG ago, long ago

Congress needs to act immediately on obama also.. he’s out of control.. lying about things that congress should get a handle on... he was a loose cannon before.. he’s worse now that he thinks he’ll escape unharmed.

One thing Trump can’t be accused of is a smear, when everybody, including the Clintons, know they (both of them) are guilty.

Congress isn't going to do anything about it. Certainly not before the election.

Congress can arrest her and hold her for as long as they desire; they have broad powers to detain anyone they want for as long as they deem fit.
