Trump: I hope Barr will 'do what's fair' with regards to investigating Hillary Clinton

Source: Politico



By CAITLIN OPRYSKO 03/22/2019 07:52 AM EDT

President Donald Trump said in an interview that aired Friday he hopes Attorney General William Barr will “do what’s fair” with regards to opening investigations to perceived crimes by his 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, former intelligence chief James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan.

Trump, who offered Clinton something of an olive branch after his election victory and pledged to move forward instead of demanding another investigation into her use of a personal email server as secretary of State, asserted in an interview on Fox Business Network's “Mornings with Maria” he’d been treated “very unfairly” by investigators probing his ties to Russia.

“So when I won, I made my opening speech, everyone's shouting, ‘Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!’ I said, ‘No, no, no, let's forget her. Let's get on to the future,’” the president recalled Friday. “But they have treated me so viciously, and they have treated me so badly and we did nothing wrong — you look at the others — and all of these people you hear about, that had nothing to do with Russia, Russia collusion, nothing.”

While Trump maintained that no one on his presidential campaign conspired with Russian agents to influence the 2016 election, one subject of special counsel Robert Muller’s probe, he complained that “nobody does anything” in the face of alleged evidence of “stone cold crimes” by former Obama officials.

Barbie Turd and Turd-In-Law have been making corrupt business deals in exchange for nuclear secrets, using encrypted e-mail apps to hide from authorities.

Turd is so transparent with his projection.

I can't believe that they want to investigate Hillary again! I'm glad the House will have Mueller testify to what is in his report. I bet he brings a copy of the report with him.

Then invalidate all laws, executive orders and judges he and the KGOP are responsible for.

That’s the only fair outcome.

Basically, he wants these people investigated for treating poor Donald "unfairly"! He's probably thinking, "I don't understand it, diverting attention to Hillary always worked before, but no one is looking this time."

Every fiber of my being, from the deepest depths of my soul, to the tips of my male nipples in the frozen-food section at Harris Teater, knows with a crystalline, pure spar certainty, that I should NOT BE REQUIRED to give ONE-FUCK what this soulless, hell spawn "King Joffrey" POS has to say about fucking anything!

My intellect, my psyche, my conscience, my decency and grace...all tell me that I shouldn't even be required to know who in the fuck these people are.

I know that these lifeless, grifting, vapid, empty vessels deserve NOT ONE NANO-SECOND of my serious thoughts.

These spray-on-tan, Loreal of Paris, plastic, Axe-Body Spray wearing morons SHOULD BE THE MOST FUCKING INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WE EVER ENCOUNTER.

Their impact on our lives should have the same effect of a fucking gnat blocking the path of a charging rhino.

I will NEVER forgive fucking Donnie Shit for Brains voting morons for requiring me to take seriously A FUCKING BUNCH OF IGNORANT FUCKSTICKS that should NEVER be taken seriously

This fucking family and their supporters are like dog-shit stuck in the grooves of your tennis shoes.

“So when I won, I made my opening speech, everyone's shouting, ‘Lock her up! Lock her up!
Lock her up!’ I said, ‘No, no, no, let's forget her. Let's get on to the future,’”

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

Where does Trump think he would be today if life were fair?

He doesn't make actual explicit orders, but he telegraphs direction to you....whether or not you ultimately choose to follow it, you still know exactly what he wants you to do.

seems to me those 2 small words 'i hope' is code as a command for Barr to comply.
