He believes that nobody is above the law. Hillary thinks she is.Donald Trump’s threat to imprison Hillary Clinton is a threat to democracy
by Zack Beauchamp
October 9, 2016
There is no way to sugarcoat this: At Sunday night’s presidential debate, Donald Trump threatened to throw Hillary Clinton in jail if he wins the presidency. This — threatening to jail one’s political opponents — is how democratic norms die.
The exchange happened during a discussion of the controversy over Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Trump began by decrying Clinton’s conduct — which, according to the FBI, was quite bad but not illegal. He then proposed appointing a special prosecutor to investigate her, and warned Clinton that, if he were president now, “you’d be in jail”:
TRUMP: I'll tell you what. I didn't think I'd say this, and I'm going to say it, and hate to say it: If I win, I'm going to instruct the attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there's never been so many lies, so much deception … A very expensive process, so we're going to get a special prosecutor because people have been, their lives have been destroyed for doing one-fifth of what you've done. And it's a disgrace, and honestly, you ought to be ashamed.

In democracies, we respect people’s rights to disagree with each other. When one candidate wins a presidential election, the loser returns to private life or another government position. In some cases, former rivals become close friends. George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, who defeated Bush in the 1992 election, travel together and have spent decades jointly raising money to aid the victims of natural disasters.
They don’t get sent to jail, because we believe that political disagreement should be legal.

actually I think there are only one or two people on here that think Trump is going to win.In this forum you have proved to be a liar.An honest special prosecutor would throw her in jail.Oh my I just heard what he said. He said that he would get a special prosecutor to investigate. He didn't say he would personally throw her in jail. You are a liar.Yes, really. Trump insists that he'd imprison his political opponents if elected......and the alt right cheers. Check out this thread. There are calls for Clinton to be charged with treason and *hung*. For Obama and other democrats to be thrown in prison if Trump won.
Do you have any idea how fucking insane that sounds, how full tilt, batshit crazy that seems to anyone outside the Right Wing echo chamber?
Ah, the old 'No True Scotsman' fallacy. Where 'honesty' is defined by their agreement with you.
How's that working out for you?
In this forum I've been proven right, again and again. And come November 8th, I'll add yet another 'I told you so' to my list.
Reality is the ultimate conspiracy-buster, Johnny. And all the batshit crazy nonsense you tell yourself isn't going to prevent Trump's predictable, inevitable defeat.
The only real question you have left is your choice of batshit conspiracies for why Trump lost.

I dont think he has a chance, she was promised and just has too much support from those that count the vote.
They didn't send classified information on it. Quit trying to deflect. If they did they should also be in jailYes, if it was anyone else. They would be in jail. Quit lying, he said he would get a special prosecutor. So shut the fuck up.Oh my I just heard what he said. He said that he would get a special prosecutor to investigate. He didn't say he would personally throw her in jail. You are a liar.

That's what you wanna go with? Laughing....holy shit, dude. Really?
As Powell and Rice are in prison for using unsecure emails as well?
Laughing....nope. Your imagination means jack shit to the rest of us, Fringy. You can make up whatever conspiracy horseshit you'd like. But no one outside the right wing echo chamber cares.
Its why Trump is having his ass handed to him: all he's got left are conspiracy theories.
The Republican Party is a punching bag for the left. It's time they grew a spine and learned to fight their opposition instead of running and hiding every time things get a little tough.Donald Trump’s threat to imprison Hillary Clinton is a threat to democracy

Trump is nothing more then thug.
He's a Mussolini wannabe. A small dictator. He views the presidency as his personal blank check to punish his political opponents. Just as they did in the Soviet Union.
The Republican party has abandoned him, no newspapers will endorse him, he attracts the KKK and White Supremacist movement. The rest of the world has real reason to wonder if this country will remain a democracy. Trump himself could not act on his dictatorial fanaticism, but if Republicans in Congress keep control of both houses they would, after a short time, view this as their one opportunity to change laws that would keep them in power indefinitely. They have shown they don't believe in American democracy anymore simply by their rampant attempts in various states to suppress the right to vote.
He will win.In this forum you have proved to be a liar.An honest special prosecutor would throw her in jail.Oh my I just heard what he said.

How many "investigations" does it take to determine there was no crime?We're the other eight investigations treason?Is that considered TREASON? If not - it should be. Trump sounds like a third world dictator.
How is starting an investigation treason?
Only Treason is treason. Much like bigotry, progressives are trying to render the word meaningless.
We saw this during Bill Clinton's term. Seven years of Whitewater investigations, investigating a blowjob, accusations of murdering Vince Foster...
Doesn't take actual facts just constant investigation
The issue is that the people doing the investigating are members of the same club as the investigated.

Like Ken Starr?An honest special prosecutor would throw her in jail.Oh my I just heard what he said. He said that he would get a special prosecutor to investigate. He didn't say he would personally throw her in jail. You are a liar.If Trump becomes president Hillary will be retried and prosecuted and plenty of politicians will go down also. Including obama.
And the fringe right loves the idea of imprisoning, even killing their political opponents.
But to the rest of us that sounds insane too. Do you see the pattern yet?
Oh, Rly?
US Attorney General: 'We May Prosecute Climate Change Deniers'.
Yes, really. Trump insists that he'd imprison his political opponents if elected......and the alt right cheers. Check out this thread. There are calls for Clinton to be charged with treason and *hung*. For Obama and other democrats to be thrown in prison if Trump won.

Republicans investigated Whitewater for seven years before admitting there was nothing there. They investigated Obamas birth certificate for seven years before finally declaring there is nothing there
Investigating is what Repunlicans do. They don't need actual facts and ignore any fact that says....nothing to see here
They investigate to maintain the appearance of a crime without a crime actually being committed
Republicans investigated Whitewater for seven years before admitting there was nothing there.

Trump is nothing more then thug.
He thinks of himself as a dictator, repeatedly saying "I alone" can fix the problems in our country, so this fits right in, as dictators jail their opponents.
He insists that he will run the government like he does his businesses. And insists that he runs his business as a dictator.
Now he's insisting that he'll imprison his political opponents.
