Trump Wants DOJ to Look at China Hacking Clinton Emails After Daily Caller Report

In another round of late-night tweets, President Trump cited reporting from conservative outlet Daily Caller in order to demand that his Justice Department go after one of his political rivals. Trump said via Twitter that the credibility of the FBI and DOJ will be forever gone unless they investigate Hillary Clinton because her emails were supposedly hacked by China.

Trumps tweet appears to be based on a Daily Caller report that was also featured last night on Fox News during Laura Ingrahams show. The report cites anonymous sources close to the intelligence community who say Clintons private email server was compromised by a shell corporation owned by the Chinese government, which was used as a front for an intelligence operation to steal her emails.
No U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed the Daily Callers story, and it may be worth remembering that Trump has previously grumbled about stories that are based on anonymous sources.
On a separate but related note, multiple intelligence agencies have accused Russia of meddling in the 2016 election and launching cyber-campaigns against American institutions, yet Trump refuses to denounce Vladimir Putin on that subject.

(11,885 posts)Putin is still cyber attacking us , and he says and does nothing to stop him, or even speak out knowing its going on, and that speaks volumes on trump's loyalty to putin. He is a putin russian asset, and has corrupted our government so badly we may have many, many members in Congress exposed for taking putins money for their campaigns, which is treasonous.

(1,990 posts)The crux here - One of the main reasons that "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring charges in this case was that nothing "bad" happened due to the alleged "mishandling" of classified material. Once right wing idiots realized and accepted this, they then shifted the focus to concocting conspiracies that her private server was hacked, and then "bad" things occurred. They already tried to claim some Iranian scientist was executed due to her emails. This is the game - pretend there were bad consequences to the "mishandling" of the material, therefore, they can "re-open" the investigation.
Its that simple(pathetic). This will be the new drum beat - claiming there has to be another investigation.

(11,885 posts)Trump will only get more demanding as more exposes him and many others. I think Sessions is , and has been talking all along to Meuller, and trump found out about him. He won't be going anywhere, trump may be soon though. Its all caving in on them now, and trumps so desperate now he's being ignored the worse he gets now . Its over for trump , and his criminal family. HE's a very , very corrupt and treasonous criminal who'll end up where he belongs, in prison. That's why he's so scared now.
