Slightly off-topic, but on this AP page I count no less than 19 “AP Fact Check” articles about the second debate, trying to debunk Trump’s claims.
“Former Attorney General Eric Holder, who served under President Barack Obama, wrote on Twitter: “In the USA we do not threaten to jail political opponents.”
He said trembling like a frightened rabbit.
Be Scared Eric, be very scared.
This brings to mind the AMA a supposed insider from the FBI did at Reddit a few months back.
He said something along the lines of there is so much crime and corruption among the ruling class in DC they would be practically bringing down the whole shebang if they prosecuted it.
Or Assange.
Or Snowden.
(Which of those two did Hillary threaten to kill with a drone strike?)
And what about pardons of international fugitives like Marc Rich?
...and what about plea deals with immunity which allow the underlings to destroy key evidence?
And what about Scooter Libby?
You corrupt little token.
I seem to recall that Obama threatened war crime charges against W. and Dick.
No, he was not running against W but, he did threaten a sitting president.
What the concern trolls are missing is that Trump was simply responding to what Hillary said.
She said, “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.”
So he correctly stated the real reason why she was worried about it: “Because you’d be in jail!”
He didn’t threaten to put her in jail. He simply completed her statement.
No, that's what the IRS is for.
This is going to backfire on her horribly. Just explain what she did and how many, many others are in jail for the same crime.
Maybe they prefer dueling to appointment of a special prosecutor.
CNN is close to having a stroke over this. That tells me he really hit a nerve, and really exposed exactly why Clinton is running, to keep her worthless a$$ out of prison, and position herself to syphon more money into the Clinton Foundation.
gutless wonders
Methinks Eric The Red is p!ssing his Depends...
Trump should’ve said because “A Trump Administration would enforce the law” and maybe left it at that, because that’s what he really meant - that under Trump, law enforcement officers wouldn’t be kept from doing their jobs by politicians. Elites dont get special breas.
Anyone who pretends otherwise is trying to find another Trump weak spot - and they always fail. Newsflash: he mispeaks, but we all know what he meant while some pretend not to.
and he DID not say “he’ll jail” her - he said she’d (probably) “be in jail” because his administration would enforce the laws. These people are shameless and transparent in twisting his words.
It’s running 100 to 1 in favor of that comment even on reddit. They had to delete the threat in /r/politics because they couldn’t get people to condemn him for it.
And they have the dirty filthy gall to threaten and slap fines and jail time on U.S. citizens through Body Mortgage-”care”, while they stay exempt.
33,000 felonies are a lot of felonies.
How many felonies, that come to light publicly, does the average person get away with?
I didn’t hear him threaten to put her in jail. He said he would name a special prosecutor to investigate her dealings. She said it would be horrible for Trump to be in charge of law enforcement and he responded “Cause you’d be in jail.” And it knocked her on her ass.
Because they were spot on and incredibly effective.
Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary under George W. Bush and a supporter of Trump, wrote: “Winning candidates don’t threaten to put opponents in jail. Presidents don’t threaten prosecution of individuals. Trump is wrong on this.” …
