Eric Trump Says Russia Probe Unfair: 'You See The Crimes That Other People Get Away With'

by Jon Levine | 9:11 am, July 26th, 2017

In the latest installment of let’s talk about anything that’s not the Russia probe, Fox & Friends trotted out Eric Trump to offer his take about the comings and goings of Washington.

-snip-

In response to the the Russia scandal which has now largely enveloped his dad’s administration and entire legislative agenda, Eric Trump offered — Loretta Lynch.

-snip-

The younger Trump said it was outrageous the Obama-era Attorney General had not been subpoenaed to testify herself — and also did a fair bit of whining about other people’s crimes.

“It’s disheartening for me to watch the pile on to him with nonsense Russia investigations. There’s nothing there… it is the greatest witch hunt of all time and then you see the crimes that other people get away with,” Trump whined. “You look at Loretta Lynch. She hasn’t even been subpoenaed. How has Loretta Lynch not been subpoenaed. Where is she. Where are all these enraged Senators.”

The “crime” Trump was referring to was a chance meeting between Lynch and Bill Clinton at an airport during the 2016 campaign, while Hillary Clinton was under investigation by the FBI. She was ultimately cleared of criminal wrongdoing in that probe by James Comey — a man whose very public quest for justice likely helped throw the election to the elder Trump last year.

My sympathies to any teacher who ever taught Donald Sr. and his three oldest spawn.

The three spawn of Ivana at least had each other.

Marla seems to be a flake, but she got Tiffany out of there by moving to California.

Poor Baron, living in isolation on his own floor with a nanny or two, I suppose. That photo of the three of them so totally disconnected from each other and Barron on a stuffed lion looking woebegone...

of Hillary Clinton, which left FBI Director Comey free to pursue it as he saw fit. Of course Donald Trump does not believe that an AG should recuse themselves due to the possible appearance of a conflict of interests - ask Jeff Sessions about that.

Just like when Donnie said the election will be rigged.

Eric knows first hand the crimes of the wealthy.

Any cop who's ever pulled someone over for speeding can tell you how this plaintive bleat ends.

Oh, and James Comey? See what you got for your favors to the Trump campaign? Tell all your little friends.

True criminals.

Eric is right these people (especially trump himself now as president) get away with murder, embezzlement, fraud, usury, insider trading, collusion, conspiracy, exploitation, and murder. Plus im sure child rape, human trafficking, drug smuggling,

All heads of banks, war profiteers, political shills, and exploiters should be arrested on rico charges their assets seazed and redistrubuted.
