We don't prosecute people we beat in elections

Fox News Interview: (start at 1:40)[Transcript] We have been investigating the Clinton e-mail scandal since 2015. We pretty well dropped it after the election, pretty much at the direction of President Trump who said "We don't prosecute people we beat in elections"...

What if they break the law? Do they just get a pass?

Very noble of him. But hillary, bammy, holder, and their cohorts should all be in jail for life.

Of course we don’t prosecute people BECAUSE they lost.

But we should prosecute people who commit treason either before and/or after they lost.

Agree. Since when?

Also, I would point out that Trump did not beat Bill, Chelsea, 0vomit, Comey, etc., etc., etc.

Yes, I’d love to see Hitlery in prison, but I’d be willing to overlook her so long as we lock up every single other person in the 0vomit administration, the BJ administration, and in the Deep State.

You should when they are an endless pain in the @ss and keep trying to destroy you. If they won’t go away quietly send them away.

So perpetually run for office and lose to avoid any culpability for anything?

The bad optics are worth considering. Actually, it’s a win if Republicans in Congress grow a pair and go after the Clinton cabal. That can’t be portrayed as vindictiveness by Trump, since most of the GOP on the Hill was never pro-Trump to begin with.

Since always. Doesn’t sell well to the public, they expect gracious winners who get on with the job of governing and not waste time on revenge.

True. But the child sex stuff greatly mitigates the optics. The media can be relied upon to defend any Democrat action aimed at winning the election. Gotta praise 'em for being true competitors who will do anything to win, right??

But as soon as Team Hillary gets tied to child prostitution, that whole game changes. You have to prosecute that. How can you not? At that point, it's bad optics to let the scum get away with it.

If the person who got beat in the election happens to be a criminal, then they should be prosecuted...

But we will let the Losers try to Prosecute the Winner with fraudulent and false evidence they themselves created.

Dems want to prosecute a person who won an election whether or not they find evidence of wrongdoing.

Rs need to get a clue. It will not be a fair fight as long as they insist on looking fair to the left (which the left will never think unless they go full-Lindsey while claiming to still be conservative).
