Karl Rove Rips Into Trump For Considering DOJ Probe Of Hillary Clinton
The Daily Caller ^ | 08/31/2018 | Nick Givas |

Posted on 08/31/2018 12:07:32 PM PDT by detective

Republican strategist Karl Rove ripped into President Donald Trump on “America’s Newsroom” Friday for considering a Justice Department investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“I think it’s unwise for any president of any party to look like he is demanding that the Justice Department investigate his political opponents,” Rove said.

“It is just unseemly. I think a good test of this is turnabout. What if Hillary Clinton had won the election? Would we be excited about Hillary Clinton calling upon her attorney general to investigate Donald Trump over the meeting at the Trump Tower?”

Rove said that’s not the way “we do things” in America and advised Trump to stop talking about a possible Clinton investigation altogether.

Karl Rove’s only audience is in his own mind.

He is a crony-capitalist and the idea of losing his power drives him to say insane things.

I watch Fox news, mainly because I don’t want to listen to these token pundits, ie Rove, Juan Willisams etc

Memo to Rove:

Hillary’s deep state cohorts are already investigating Trump and the tower meeting

Hillary cannot get off scot free for the treason that she committed.

If anyone thinks that if Hillary had won the election that Trump wouldn’t ALREADY be in jail, they’ve lost their minds.

You can bet the house on the idea that she would have had him investigated and jailed for what has already been asserted about Trump.

Ask Nakoula Basseley Nakoula how that worked out for him?

Hillary should be sitting in the dock right now facing criminal charges related to her time as Sec State and Bubba should be facing charges going back to his time a president much less the Clinton Foundation slush fund.

Hillary and Bill Clinton are now part of the Busch family, so he has to protect them as one of their vassals.

But Karl, the DOJ is not an independent agency, you stupid POS. Under the Constitution there’s no such thing. Just ask Eric “Wingman” Holder.

"...“I think it’s unwise for any president of any party to look like he is demanding that the Justice Department investigate his political opponents,” Rove said..."

Well, that proves Rove is a Leftist, in case there was any doubt. One of the things that Leftists are completely immune to is irony.

Rove, you pinhead! the dimmies ARE investigating the Trump Jr mtg even though there was nothing illegal about it.

Compare that to hitlerys shinanigans.

What a maroon.

What a twat.

Karl Rove: the gOPe answer to lil dicky morris.

Hillary has always been Karl’s type. The Bushes and Clintons are peas from the same pod.

Rove has a pea brain. Essentially that’s exactly what Hillaryhilofbeans did was generate an investigation of her political opponent even though she lost. And her dossier was fabricated evidence all while her classified email scandal is real evidence.

If that is not how we do things.....then why the heck is it happening to Trump now. This is an investigation set in motion by a president and a candidate.....against another candidate.

Just another swamp creature who is completely happy allowing the libs to run this for a while.....in the name of fairness.

I want Hillary in jail......nothing else will satisfy my desire to see my government come clean of its sins. It is worse than the Catholic Church.

Amazing how that bullsh!t takes hold when everyone keeps repeating the big lie. Sessions and his coup co-conspirators definitely believe the DOJ is an independent agency.

It’s time for round-ups in the dead of the night...enough of this crap.

Yeah, we pick and choose. Laura Ingraham must have gotten a lot of negative mail -— she had some sour-faced democrat on last night, who was trying to drag up Columbia, south Carolina, in a totally unrelated topic. She didn’t let him get in his spiel, and cut him off every time he tried. He turned dark red, and I thought he’d burst a blood vessel. Usually, she lets liberals rant, then chirps, “Great segment, guys!”. And thankfully, she hasn’t had Phillipe Reinnes on, since he stood outside the white house with a bullhorn, screaming “**** you, Donald Trump!”.

I actually kind of agree, it looks purely political. That said, with all that we have seen as of late... I dont feel so strongly that way anymore.

I think this is the same Karl Rove that Sean Hannity used to fawn over almost daily on the radio and the reason I can’t stomach Sean “I’m so humble” Hannity. You know, his buddy “The Architect”, the only person on earth he wouldn’t interrupt? That Karl Rove.
