Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Thursday it would be an “outrage” if President-elect Donald Trump followed through with threats to prosecute Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
“It would be almost beyond comprehension to think that a new president would be involved in the prosecution of his opponent who ended up getting some 2 million more votes than he did,” Sanders told reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast.
“It would completely divide this country. It would be an outrage,” he said. “I would hope very, very, very much that Mr. Trump understands that is not something he should do.”
Trump regularly attacked Clinton on the campaign trail for the FBI probe into her email use, vowing during the second presidential debate that he would instruct his attorney general to investigate her over it.

Except for that one sticky point. The laws MUST apply equally to all or they do not apply to anyone. She must be prosecuted. No exceptions.
Let the OUTRAGE begin!
I hope Trump fires Comey’s rear. I've heard that he cannot, that Comey has a term to serve and that he still has a couple of years remaining.
Anyone else here this or conformation of it?
