Donald Trump calls for a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton Foundation scandal
Business Insider ^ | Aug 22, 2016 | Chris Sanchez

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump urged for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton's involvement with the Clinton Foundation during her tenure as US secretary of state during a rally in Akron, Ohio, on Monday.

Trump accused his Democratic rival of corruption, claiming that donors of the foundation were given preferential treatment and awarded with special favors.

He went on to say that the investigation calls for special circumstances, as the US Department of Justice "has proven itself to be a political arm of the White House."

"After the FBI and Department of Justice whitewash of the Clinton email crimes, they certainly cannot be trusted to quickly or impartially investigate Hillary Clinton's crimes," Trump said at a campaign rally in Akron, alluding to Clinton's use of a private email server.

I am waiting for him to point out that billery donated! 1 million to the foundation which was almost the exact number the loser Chelsea received in salary! IOW they evaded the gift tax AND got a tax deduction to boot.

That whole crime apparatus should be in receivership and the principals in jail.

“Why is he the first Republican to even suggest this?”

Because h pulled in republicans, in her con game. Republicans have not been republicans since Reagan, save a few. And Reagan was a convert, having been disillusioned w the dem party, and therefore, rather pure.

Dems haven’t been dems since, when? Truman?

A Special Prosecutor is no answer, anyone remember Ken Starr???

2+ years, no results except the Clintonistas and the Mediascum ridiculed Starr and the Republicans.

The chances of getting a Special Prosecutor appointed AND getting a prosecution AND getting actual convictions are near zero. In any case it would take 2+ years to produce any result. This thing has to be won as a POLITICAL battle over the next 10 weeks.

The insiders in both Party’s are crooks. The reward their friends,fill their pockets and screw the rest of America. If the white and minority population could come together we could stop this but I do not see that happening. The Jacksons and Sharptons along with the media will keep the poor black and whites down on the farms!

Dems haven't been Americans since JFK was asasinated, then, they became communist/ globalist.

They sold out, They sold all of us out.

All the every day gumshoes of the Bureau do is compile evidence - in short they investigate! It’s not their fault a corrupt compromised DOJ refuses to indict. (And yes their Director has huge conflict of interest problems with the Clintons!)

When Holder left Zero should have been left with an acting AG ,but no our “Nancy Boys” GOP Senators assured that Lynch would do “her job”. Unfortunately the job she did was not the job of being AG. Anybody with cerebellum of a lamprey knew that was coming!

The Clinton Foundation and the Obama Mafia should be found guilty of Treason at the very least.

Finally.

Trump comes up with a simple solution that 535 members of congress never considered.

Why?

No, I say they have a lot of bag to not appoint a prosecutor. They know they they are as corrupt as the administration is. I will not be surprised if these vermin have their hands in the till also. It could very well be a lot of damaging info on the lot of them. Hell, Some of these “found emails” could be the result of WikiLeaks and the like.

Ann was being a bit optimistic when she picked out Mitt’s underwear.

And everyone knew this before she was the nominee. The best the democrats could come up with. And they say the Republican party is dying.
