Trump: I'll have 'lots of options' to go after Clinton when I win

[TomCADem]

Source: Politico

He has since ramped up his rhetoric, threatening during the second presidential debate to jail the former secretary of state. Trump has said Clinton belongs in jail and vowed to, if elected, ask his attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor to look into Clinton’s email controversy. The real estate mogul has also said he will have the FBI’s now-closed investigation into Clinton’s server investigated.

While his campaign manager tried to walk back his threat to jail Clinton as “a quip,” Trump has doubled down on his pledge.

And, perhaps unfamiliar with how the Supreme Court works, Trump said during the Republican primary he would “probably appoint people that would look very seriously at her email disaster because it’s criminal activity.”

“And I would appoint people that would look very seriously at that to start off with,” he told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in late March, adding that Clinton is getting away with “murder.”

Trump showing off that he is both stupid and dangerous.

[secondwind]

[BlueStreak]

[chillfactor]

3. t'rump lives in his own little unreality bubble....n/t

[Grassy Knoll]

4. LOL....

Option #1: Trump Is An Idiot And Will Never Win The Presidency.

Option #2: Trump Is Going To Shit And Fall In It.

Stupid Fuck

[Roy Rolling]

6. Options like his new job--- "you want fries with that?"

[LynneSin]

7. I have an option for Trump - LEAVE THE UNITED STATES

You have humiliated yourself, you have humiliated your wife and you have humiliated your children. Your Brand name is garbage - the only people who would buy anything with 'Trump' on the label are people too poor to afford it. You think something living near the poverty level can afford a $500/night hotel room or a pair of $250 Ivanka Trump shoes? Because the rest of us who could afford it don't want to spend any more money on anything branded Trump unless it's a GoFundMe site to raise funds to buy one-way plane tickets for the entire Trump family to leave the USA.

14. Or Trump brand condoms

[awoke_in_2003]

17. I'm not going to buy condoms

from someone who manages to bankrupt a casino.

[47of74]

18. Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

Knowing Orange Anus they're probably full of holes.

[world wide wally]

20. They only make sizes small, extra small, and shrink to fit

[jmowreader]

37. Guys with micropenis need loving too

And...well, you know, no one's really taking care of the yooge and until-now-ignored cohort of men who look longingly at a can of Vienna sausages.

[FarPoint]

26. Most countries would refuse him.

European nations especially.

[47of74]

34. He could always go to Antarctica

[True_Blue]

35. There's alway Russia.n/t

[FarPoint]

36. I would expect that to actually occur...

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. No surprise here. They're sending him in front of adoring crowds cheering, "Lock Her Up!!!".

[world wide wally]

11. "Who" is sending him?

This is the only place he craves to be and I'm pretty sure he does his own scheduling. Look at some of the stupid places he goes.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. The people in his campaign have him going to Red areas of swing states....

Stroking his ego and giving him the illusion of popular support.

[neeksgeek]

10. What is he trying to say here??

“probably appoint people that would look very seriously at her email disaster because it’s criminal activity.”

“And I would appoint people that would look very seriously at that to start off with,”

Does he really imagine that the President sets the agenda of the Supreme Court? And it sounds like he thinks he'll get to appoint multiple justices immediately... ...................................

[world wide wally]

12. And I'm sure the Democrats will approve such a person

[bucolic_frolic]

13. My guess remains

if you stitch together news stories .... Roger Stone launching
exit polling in major cities to try to prove rigged voting ... Trump
needs Pennsylvania more than any state ... isn't his sister a judge
in Philadelphia ... could there be legal maneuvering to try to get
a judge declare the state's elections invalid? Would appeals go to the
under staffed US Supreme Court ... which can't overrule lower courts
because it's tied?

Trump litigates everything. Lawyers are more important than accountants
to him. See where I'm headed with this line of reasoning?

These isolated news stories all too suspicious to a paranoid character like me ....

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

24. If we were talking about a rational man, it seems far-fetched

But we are talking about a man whose emotional development ceased at about age 8 (apologies to all 8 year olds), this is hardly out of the question.

[SomethingNew]

27. Not going to happen

Trump's sister is a 3rd Circuit (federal) senior status judge, she won't be meddling in state affairs like that (I don't think she would even if she could).

Also, I know people here have a dim view of Alito/Roberts/Thomas but all three of them are still excellent legal minds, decent people, and (mostly) fair jurists. Their different constitutional views don't extend to the point of being willing to destroy American democracy.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Fair, like Alito/Roberts/Thomas were in 2000?

Bush v. Gore was decided on an injunction, showing how actually
counting the votes could cause harm to one of the parties.

None of these fair minded jurists reasoned, "Let's count the votes."

[SomethingNew]

31. Two things:

1) Alito and Roberts weren't on the court at that time;

2) That is an awfully simplistic reading of the case. Just to point out one specific area, seven justices (including J. Breyer) found an equal protection issue.

[treestar]

15. The email disaster has been looked into already

I would like to see his emails for the past 10 years as no doubt there is a long line of disaster there.

[Mc Mike]

19. It's almost like dRumpfenfuhrer is running his campaign in diametrically opposite directions,

at the exact same time.

Odd.

[lillypaddle]

21. Good thing this maniac

will NEVER be POTUS.

[steve2470]

22. Wannabe dictator, that's him

His supporters are too angry and/or stupid to realize that's what he is. Or they don't care, which is even worse.

[FrodosPet]

33. "But Hillary is going to reduce Social Security"

We can't have a socialist like that as President.

[whistler162]

23. Yup, depends on who gets him first

the state of NY or the Fed's. So many prison's so few years left!

[mdbl]

25. Trump is Nuckin' Futz!

[BumRushDaShow]

29. "And, perhaps unfamiliar with how the Supreme Court works,"

OFFS Politico. The "perhaps" equivocation from media like yourself is why he is standing here today as a nominee from a major party.

[smirkymonkey]

30. Yeah, well you aren't going to win, so you had better get used to the idea of being

a third rate businessman whose "empire" is about to go down the drain, asswipe.

[Qutzupalotl]

32. Too bad he's out of options now.
