Hillary Clinton Says it Doesn’t Matter if Trump Was President, He Should Be Indicted ASAP

After years of mostly silence (mostly) from Hillary Clinton, she once again came out punching. This is the third time in less than a full week that Hillary has emphatically stated that if the evidence is there, then yes – Trump should be prosecuted. It should be noted that Hillary could avoid the pressure and possible controversy that goes along with taking these questions by saying that she trusts the DOJ’s decision. But evidently, Hillary strongly believes it’s time to hold Trump accountable. Who can blame her? “Lock her up!”

Here is Hillary, addressing the matter:

I think it’s a really hard call. And I cannot predict what the Justice Department will do at the end of its investigation. But I do think the rule of law holding people accountable is central to our nation, and, as both a secretary of state and as a private citizen, I have answered every question I’ve ever been asked; I’ve testified for 11 hours. I’ve been involved in anything that was asked of me to try to answer any kind of issue, and I think that’s the way the system is supposed to work, even if you are, you know, not sure why you’re being with the spotlight on you.”

‘I really believe that at the end of the day, no one is above the law, and no one should be escaping accountability if indeed the facts in the evidence point to them having done something that anyone else in our country would be investigated for and maybe even charged.

Tapper then said that Clinton was saying that Trump shouldn’t be treated as a potential candidate:

“I do, because he’s not the president! And we do have some special exceptions for someone actually in the office. So I do think that, just like any American, if there is evidence, that evidence should be pursued.

Well, few people have more credibility than Hillary, who has been chased by the Republicans forever.
