Donald Trump now says it wouldve been terrible if hed tried to prosecute Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election. But that's exactly what he did.

As the day came to an end, the Republican decided to wrap things up with a call-in interview to Greg Kelly Reports on Newsmax, where the two touched on a variety of topics, including Trumps alleged reluctance to prosecute Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election.
.....To the extent that reality still has any meaning, lets review the receipts. In Trumps first year in the White House after the 2016 election was over and Clinton largely withdrew from public view the then-president publicly pleaded with the Justice Department to go after Clinton.
A year later, in 2018, the then-president told the White House counsel that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute Clinton.
Ahead of Election Day 2020 nearly four years after Clintons defeat Trump again publicly called for the Democrats incarceration and lobbied then-Attorney General Barr to prosecute Clinton for reasons unknown.
None of this was kept secret. It happened out in the open. We all saw it play out in public.
And yet, there was Trump on national television last night, patting himself on the back for showing restraint, saying it wouldve been terrible and horrible if hed targeted Clinton after the 2016 election and tried to have her prosecuted.
The problem, of course, is that Trump targeted Clinton after the 2016 election and tried to have her prosecuted. Its not a matter of opinion; its simply what happened, whether the Republican assumes weve forgotten or not.

This is on top of the bogus lawsuit that TFG filed against Clinton and others where the court awarded almost $1 million in damages and attorney fees against TFG and Alina Habba. TFG holds grudges and if TFG is re-elected then TFG will use Project 2025 to go after President Biden, Hillary Clinton, President Biden and a host of other persons.
