The OFFICIAL Trump/HRC/2016 General Election Thread...

[T.Lex]

I believe the process starts with a request from the AG (ostensibly after formal or informal consultation with POTUS) for Congress to appoint a special prosecutor.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Given that it is the Congress, and not the President, who appoints special prosecutors? No, I don't expect President Trump to appoint a special prosecutor for the Clintons or for anyone else.

Oh you and your semantics.

I never expected him to do any such thing, or even influence congress to do such a thing. But there were certainly people here excited about the possibility of Clinton seeing justice during a President Trump.

Should it happen? Sure. Will it? No. I doubt it was a major part of the vote, either... but it didn't hurt.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

So this is weird.

Trump told Christie he didn't think he'd last past October 2015
Report: Trump originally planned to drop out in October 2015, Endorse Christie

In a new book about the 2016 presidential election, a Christie adviser told reporters from the network that Trump's original plan was to drop out of the race in October 2015. He had told Christie that he would give him his endorsement when he did withdraw from the race.

Instead, Christie would become one of Trump's first major backers from the GOP's political class and ended up being one of the new president's top advisers.

I think several things would have to happen, before a Clinton special prosecutor would be viable. First, Trump would have to replace Comey, and tap his replacement. Then, the FBI would have to complete a legitimate, sincere investigation (either revisiting the classified email issue, or a new investigation on the Clinton Foundation) and return a recommendation to indict.

Without those two things happening, Trump getting behind a special prosecutor would come across as nothing more than petty vindictiveness.

What is "weird" about it? That Trump was looking at his chances objectively, and making preparations based on how he saw those chances?

 

[Ericpwp]

Why would he announce a special prosecuter now when she can still be pardoned?

Isn't the investigation into the Clinton Foundation still ongoing?

LOL. It's the simple things that get missed. Also like the announcement of attacking isis...... President Trump said our leaders were stupid for doing that.

The attempt to draw an equivalence between this and the Hillary e-mail scandal will require intellectual dishonesty that only a liberal could master.

The "VoteHillary2016" twitter account posted a list of the Electorates and their personal information, encouraging people to contact them about voting Clinton instead of Trump.

Sounds a lot like doxxing. You know not all people that see that info are going to use it positively.

Democrats will stop at NOTHING to stop Trump; are they doxing electoral college reps? ? twitchy.com

Won't happen. Too many electors are bound by law.

Yes, but I encourage them to try. I'm buying stock in Kleenex.
