Trump Threatens FBI Over Hillary Clinton Emails: 'I May Have To Get Involved'

President Donald Trump on Saturday issued a chilling warning to the FBI, accusing the agency of ignoring “tens of thousands” of Hillary Clinton’s emails and warning that he “may have to get involved.”




His tweets came less than an hour after similar ones criticizing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, adding fodder to their monthslong feud and fueling fresh rumors that Sessions’ days in office are numbered.

Trump has been lashing out at the Justice Department all week after his former campaign chair Paul Manafort was found guilty on numerous corruption charges as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference. Manafort’s conviction came shortly after Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, implicating the president in election interference.







Trump and his allies have long used the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state as a way to discredit the Justice Department, particularly as the special counsel investigation has come to fruition.

The president blames Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia probe in May 2017, which ultimately lead to Mueller’s appointment.

"Big story out that the FBI ignored tens of thousands of Crooked Hillary Emails, many of which are REALLY BAD."

How the fuck would he know that? Did he read tens of thousands of Hillary's emails that are allegedly in the possession of the FBI in order to come to know that "many of which are REALLY BAD"? No. Of course not. The man is a fabulist and needs to be in a psychiatric ward.

The definition of Donald J. Trump:

fab·u·list
ˈfabyələst/Submit
noun
a person who composes or relates fables.
a liar, especially a person who invents elaborate, dishonest stories.

Since you're the all-powerful God of All Universes, release Hillary's fucking emails. Show us the worst of the worst. We've been dealing with your assholiness for over 2 years now. We can certainly handle what you consider the crookedest of Hillary.

Come on dickcheese. Release the fuckers.
