President Trump doubled down on his call for the Justice Department to investigate Democrats on Friday after a former Democratic National Committee chair acknowledged the party tipped the scales in Hilary Clinton's favor during last year's primary.
Trump told reporters outside the White House that he is disappointed in the Justice Department for not investigating Clinton, reiterating that he believes the agency should do something.
Im really not involved with the Justice Department. Id like to let it run itself, but honestly, they should be looking at the Democrats," he said.
They should be looking at Podesta and all of that dishonesty, they should be looking at a lot of things, and a lot of people are disappointed in the Justice Department, including me, he said.
In an excerpt of her new book, former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile wrote about a deal between Clintons 2016 campaign and the DNC aimed at keeping the party financially viable.
The deal wasn't illegal, Brazile wrote, but it "sure looked unethical." The former DNC chair said it broke [her] heart to find proof that the primary between Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was rigged.
Trump has tweeted several times about the Democratic deal since an excerpt of Braziles book was published by Politico on Thursday, calling it illegal and bringing back his nickname for Clinton, Crooked Hillary.
Well, Mr. President, if you're so disappointed, why don't you do something about it? Last time I checked, you were their boss.
Amen.
Rabbits.
Right! I did my part and got you elected, Mr. President. Now YOU do something about it!
Stop the damn whinning and Fire Session. Its no longer on Sessions, its on you. Do your damn job.
He won’t act until after Alabama election
None of this has anything to do with peddling small amounts of marijuana or citizens standing up for their god given rights protected by the US Constitution. Why Sessions or the would the DOJ even Care??
Sessions never should have taken the Job
He has recused himself as Attorney General
Fire RosenKrantz first and put some real Assistants in there.
Agree, FIRE Sessions over the damn phone today. Sessions recused himself now for Uranium One. Who is he protecting?
Crickets
I think he is laying the groundwork to do just that, assuming they don't respond to the pressure he is putting on them
He has tweeted and spoken out. Thats something.
Mr President
You and You alone can De-Classify and Publicly Release ALL Classified Information the Executive Branch has regarding Uranium One.
If they won’t investigate or prosecute then MAKE IT PUBLIC!
The Republicans in Congress have tied his hand. They told him if he fires Sessions, they will not approve a replacement.
Think about it. Trump could easily fire Sessions or ask him to resign. He has not done so. So Trump must therefore be satisfied with the job he is doing. Trump even met with Sessions on Monday and it appeared to be a convivial meeting.
So why all the drama?
Trump is probably trying to create a public perception of inaction at the DOJ in order to conceal the action really going on at the DOJ. This is "Art of War" stuff.
If I end up being wrong and DOJ is really doing nothing, then Trump will have let me down because he has the power to do something about it. But I'm thinking Trump is not going to let me down. He hasn't yet.
Is it still full of Obama/Hillary Minions ?
Sessions is clearly not up to the job of draining the swamp.
Not eneough!!
Ask Sessions to step down out of gratitude for his service. If he won’t FIRE him!!!!!!!!!
