Karl Rove Rips Into Trump For Considering DOJ Probe Of Hillary Clinton
The Daily Caller ^ | 08/31/2018 | Nick Givas |

Posted on 08/31/2018 12:07:32 PM PDT by detective

Republican strategist Karl Rove ripped into President Donald Trump on “America’s Newsroom” Friday for considering a Justice Department investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“I think it’s unwise for any president of any party to look like he is demanding that the Justice Department investigate his political opponents,” Rove said.

“It is just unseemly. I think a good test of this is turnabout. What if Hillary Clinton had won the election? Would we be excited about Hillary Clinton calling upon her attorney general to investigate Donald Trump over the meeting at the Trump Tower?”

Rove said that’s not the way “we do things” in America and advised Trump to stop talking about a possible Clinton investigation altogether.

Karl Rove writes all these easily forgotten columns on WSJ every week or so.

But now that it’s time for the era of the Uniparty to end, he out there rallying for the Deep State. Go straight to the hot place McCain now lives, you con-artist Rove.

I'm amending an old trope from the mid 2000s:

"Rove, you bastard!"

Karl Rove is supporting Hillary Clinton now because of his hatred for Trump?

Wouldn't is be easier for some of the Trump haters to just not say anything rather that twist themselves into a pretzel trying to state their position.

What an idiot.

Makes one wonder what the current admin’s investigations are going to find on ol’ Rove, don’t it?

Would we be excited about Hillary Clinton calling upon her attorney general to investigate Donald Trump over the meeting at the Trump Tower?”

Never would have happened, Trump never held public office.......

Rove said that’s not the way “we do things” in America...

In 2016 we had a referendum on the "way 'we' do things."

You and your contemptible fellow deep staters lost.

Either we have a government guided by the rule of law, or we don't.

Whether Hillary ran for President against Trump is irrelevant.

Rove made stupid arguments and references - he is a Never-Trumper to the core and can't help himself.

He compared Hillary to other Presidents when she never was one, he "forgot" that there is tons of existing evidence against her that would put anyone else in jail for life and that almost 2 years of serious digging hasn't produced any evidence of the"crimes" they hope to bring against Trump and that trump is calling for this because it is an example of how corrupt the system really is - a non-corrupt DOJ could not spend so much time and energy trying to convict an innocent man and also ignore so many serious crimes by others.

Rove, you Magnificent Bastard....
