Trump tears into US judicial system

Source: CNN

Donald Trump warned voters Saturday about the "cancer" of public corruption and argued the US judicial system is like that of a "third-world country" after new reports surfaced about disagreements between top officials at the FBI and Department of Justice.

Trump picked up on the news reports to once again argue that there is a "rigged system" at work and to pitch his candidacy to voters as that of an outsider who will take on the "establishment" in Washington and work to "end government corruption."

Law enforcement officials told CNN that the Justice Department warned FBI Director James Comey that his plans to publicly notify Congress about his bureau's review of emails that may be related to the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server would be against department policy to not comment on investigations so close to the election.

"Folks, we're living in a third-world country. This has never happened before. This is the lowest point in terms of our judicial system. This is the lowest point in the history of our country. Remember that. And when I talk about a rigged system, let's see what happens. Let's see what happens," Trump said as he rallied supporters here.

The new hearing date for the Trump-Epstein lawsuit is Dec. 16, 2016 in New York Federal Court

Trump's lawyer, Alan Garten said:
"In the event we are actually served this time, we intend to move for sanctions for this frivolous filing."

...to the public, but to a higher court. And they're not going to buy any of his shenanigans.

convinced "only Democrats" vote multiple times

They listen to no one but their echo chamber

Any of this vote counting is only relevant in close elections, which
is why they have recounts

Half the country or more will oppose Trump in anything he does

Good luck taking on Washington, Donald. You have the credibility of a worm

3,500 against Trump and 1,500 that he filed against others.

BTW wait until Trump has to answer about his Trump University scam
in civil court.

15. Does anybody think that he sees indictments in his future?

He would like to walk like the Bundy brothers.

The festering business and personal scandals that have been illuminated during the election vetting process have probably made him legally vulnerable on a number of fronts.

The guy is loony and dangerous. His supporters know he is crazy and they are still voting for him. Please get out and vote for Hillary. Get those votes banked in red states. Cheeto must be stopped.
