Donald Trump Declares That, Should He Win, He Will Prosecute Hillary Clinton Because “She Seems Guilty”

The Fox News-sponsored controversy over Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server will become another anti-Clinton national tragedy if Donald Trump wins, the Republican front-runner told Fox News’ Sean Hannity at a town hall Monday night.

Hannity asked if Trump would order his attorney general to investigate Clinton if he wins the White House in November, and Trump said he would “have no choice,” because “in fairness, you have to look into that — she seems guilty.”

He momentarily tried to walk his comment back, saying, “but you know what, I wouldn’t even say that,” before saying what he just said he wouldn’t say again. “But certainly, it has to be looked at,” he said. Trump later added that “she’s being protected, but if I win, certainly it’s something we’re going to look at.”

Moreover, he argued, “if a Republican wins, if I’m winning, certainly you will look at that as being fair to anyone else. [It is] so unfair to the people that have been prosecuted over the years for doing much less than she did.”

1. LOL!!!!! What an idiot--he thinks he running for "King" apparently! nt

[thereismore]

12. If he is President, his AD can prosecute. He does

not have to be king. What are you talking about.

[MADem]

16. What is an "AD?" Anno Domini? Or are you trying to say AG--Attorney General.

Obviously you don't understand the difference between the executive branch and the judicial. He won't be prosecuting anyone. He can ASK the AG to so do, but no AG of any competence would touch that request with a twenty foot pole.

Does the phrase "Impeach the Cox Sacker" mean anything to you? Nixon tried to pull that shit too--it's WRONG.

[thereismore]

17. OK, you believe the AD won't prosecute. Optimism is your best quality. nt

[MADem]

19. What is an AD? Answer the question, please. nt

[thereismore]

20. Sorry, should have been AG. Brain fart. nt

[Purveyor]

22. Only. eom

[DemocraticWing]

42. I don't think Trump compares favorably to Nixon.

So when Ted Cruz is serving as his AG, I'm not sure ethics will be in play.

[madville]

28. He would get to appoint his own Attorney General

Who then could easily get an indictment from a Federal Grand Jury. It wouldn't be hard based on the information we know at this point. A conviction though, who knows.

It's not that idiotic of a concept and would be easily within his Administration's power. If she and her aides committed felonies I have no problem with them being indicted and prosecuted.

[MADem]

29. Go back and read what I wrote. I'm not going to keep repeating myself. nt

[madville]

31. Oh, you're reading his comments literally

It's apparent that he means his Administration's DOJ would prosecute her, which would be realistic. I doubt he meant that he himself would personally prosecute her in court, it would be a great reality show though, the ratings would be HHHUUUUGGGEEE!

[gyroscope]

2. How do you like that hardball politics now?

Hillary gets a taste of her own medicine HAHAHA. Karma's a bitch ain't it?

[Cali_Democrat]

13. You're happy about Trump saying he would prosecute Hillary because "she seems guilty"?

Why do you seem downright giddy?

[gyroscope]

18. Hillary and her supporters say they are fond of hardball politics

race-baiting Obama, red-baiting Sanders, nothing is off limits but when you get a taste of your own medicine all the sudden you cry foul. cry me a river.

and I wouldn't be surprised if she was guilty. Hillary will do anything and say anything to get what she wants people like that have no morals no boundaries and are usually guilty of their crimes, to no one's surprise.

[DrDan]

3. this will be seen as positive news for some here . . . might even get them voting in the GE

[Purveyor]

4. Most likely a hit nationally, not just here. eom

[yourpaljoey]

7. Trump is smart, tapping into the rising anger for all things Esatablishment

Of which Hill is paramount.
He plays it like a fiddle.

[Blue_Adept]

5. Glad to see we continue to let Republicans choose our candidates

[Politicalboi]

26. Better now while we still have a choice

This won't end with her. We'll have to defend the indefensible 24/7. This is the tip of the iceberg.

[Orsino]

6. He'll be spending his time Twitter-slapping or threatening to sue...

...everyone who was ever mean to him in kindergarten?

What a dumbass. Good thing he's just trolling us.

[yourpaljoey]

9. I fear he has a good chance of winning

His policy positions are undefined, he can still tailor a populist ant-establishment message.
The guy ain't stupid, and he is a powerful speaker when he wants to be.

[Orsino]

11. Yeah, I still think he'll quit...

...before there is the slightest risk of his having to do actual work.

But I post this theory again mainly so y'all can jeer me if I'm wrong. Hell, Dubya managed to pretend to work for eight years, but I just can't see Trump tying himself to a DC address for more than about a week.

[Motown_Johnny]

34. He could pick JEB as VP and make him do all the work.

Since the GOP has not won the White House without a Bush or Nixon on the ticket since 1928, JEB seems like the most likely choice.


Plus, be brings all that SuperPac money with him.


I don't think Trump's ego will allow him to quit. He will just delegate his authority so he can have more leisure time.

[yodermon]

8. what an idiot.

[ram2008]

10. HE will win a general

There will be record turnout for Republicans(which we're seeing in the primaries), Trump will take advantage of the anti-Clinton sentiment and harp on this issue and how she's owned by Wall Street all the way up until election.

She can't win.

[tk2kewl]

14. unless there's a miraculous vindication of Clinton re her email issue

he will beat her over the head with it mercilessly

[workinclasszero]

15. LOLOLOL

Hes also going to build a 3 billion dollar wall along the US, Mexican border, bigger construction job than the hoover dam/panama canal and the freaking pyramids of egypt combined...round up 12, count em, 12 million people and startup mass concentration camps all over america to hold these poor folks, etc.


Are Bernie fans scared of the big bad reality show star? LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Politicalboi]

27. Are Bernie fans scared of the big bad reality show star?

No, but you better be. Bernie can beat him, she can't. I'm glad this is starting now rather than when the primaries are over. This is what we can expect if she is the nominee.

[workinclasszero]

39. If Bernie can't beat Hillary

He sure as hell couldn't beat Trump!

[Motown_Johnny]

36. This is what he is planning on beating Hillary with.

His claims that she is "being protected" will raise enough doubt to make her un-electable.


We shouldn't be trying to nominate someone who is under investigation. If we do, then we deserve a President Trump and all his Supreme Court nominees.

[NCTraveler]

21. Fuck Trump. nt.

[Beacool]

23. That a-hole will never be president.

24. It is his to lose. eom

[Attorney in Texas]

35. Don't make light of this! Republicans consider "Governing While Democrat" to be a serious offense.

[trillion]

37. Another day more outrageous blather from trump

[silenttigersong]

38. I can see him doing it

The posts, from Goper's has been consistent with wanting her prosecuted.Trump ,will use this during the general if its Trump_Clinton.He will turn out, so many Repubs for the general,Clinton supporters will be apoplectic.He will go after Bill -(Roger Stone_Clinton's" War on women&quot ,he will not play patty-cake with Hillary.He will pivot from xenophobic rants, once he secures the nom.He very well could have secret opponent_research in front of him on Clinton right now.It will be brutal .Then think- left -independents will vote 3rd party,(Jill Stein).
