During a radio interview Thursday, President Trump belly-ached that he could not pressure the Justice Department to investigate his former political rival Hillary Clinton, because that's part of being president.
Trump was sitting down with WMAL's Larry O'Connor, who had wanted to pick the president's brain on why he couldn't fulfill his campaign promise to 'lock her up,' something he would encourage his supporters to shout about Clinton.
'But you know the saddest thing, because I'm the president of the United States I am not supposed to be involved with the Justice Department. I am not supposed to be involved with the FBI,' he explained. 'I'm not supposed to be doing the kinds of things I would love to be doing and I'm very frustrated by it.'
Trump didn't stop there.
'Why aren't they going after Hillary Clinton with her emails and with the dossier, and the kind of money?' Trump mused. 'I don't know, is it possible that they paid $12.4 million for the dossier? And how was it – which is total phony, fake – and how was it used?' he continued.
Last week, a law firm used by Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee acknowledged its role in paying for a dossier filled with unsubstantiated opposition research about Trump's ties to Russia, gathered by a former British intelligence agent.

He’s a much bigger man than Obama.
He might have a point, however! Nobama broke all the rules and employed them both as well as others, directly and indirectly.
LOL, as if Trump hasn’t had adversaries before...
He’s at an arm’s length, but he knows that he’s got folks working 24/7 to get the job done.
Lock Her up!
Damn Skippy!
I was listening to this live on the way home from work. Went ???!

Says who? Lil Jefferey?
Yep, it’s soooooo un-Presidential of him to mention the on-its-face slime of the Cintonite cabal. People hate him for the truths he tells.
I don’t think ANY OF US, including Trump, thought that he was appointing a “pussy” when he nominated Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. I certainly didn’t but I was wrong as things have turned out.
Thanks President Trump,
That statement shows
Integrity !
What an authoritarian! Hahah
No, it's not and when President Trump tweets "DO SOMETHING!" he's talking to the people with the letter (R) after their are who have the capacity to make these investigation happen.
That's the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Obama brought people on board who knew exactly what needed to be done without expressly being told to do it.
Trump can't order the Justice Department to investigate the myriad crimes associated with the Clintons. He can't! I imagine he naively expected they would do this without being told.
Well he could fire the useless ZZZZZzzzzzesssions.
He’s doing the job of President the way it’s supposed to be done. He isn’t the problem, everyone else is.
Trump knows exactly what he is saying and doing.
Just watch!
....This is real collusion and dishonesty. Major violation of Campaign Finance Laws and Money Laundering - where is our Justice Department?
Donna Brazile just stated the DNC RIGGED the system to illegally steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders. Bought and paid for by Crooked H....
My 17-year-old daughter feels the same way about herself. What a coincidence!
