President Trump has admitted that he previously refrained from pursuing an indictment for Hillary Clinton, but believes now she should “pay a very big price.”
In remarks to Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty on Friday, Trump stated “we had her – and I had her right under the sights and I told the people, look, you can’t do this to a president’s wife – ex-president and she was Secretary of State.”
“If you remember, it was at a rally and it was after the election and they said, lock her up, lock her up! And I said, no, no, no. Look, we won. Just relax.”
Finnerty referred to the latest information released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard that reveals not only did the CIA believe a Russian intelligence assessment that the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign planned to smear Trump by linking him to the Kremlin, but that the FBI helped the Clinton campaign orchestrate the Russia hoax to distract from its investigation into her emails.
The declassified documents also show that the Clinton Campaign plotted to use Crowdstrike to push the claim that Russian hackers leaked information from the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).
“Is she finally going to pay for what she did? Or does she get a pass again?” Finnerty asked Trump.
“I totally let Hillary off the hook. And I let her off the hook for what? And then I come in and they did the same thing to me,” Trump responded.
He continued, “The difference is they actually meant it. They hurt a lot of people. And it was all a hoax and now they have it in black and white.”
“I think they should pay a price. A very big price,” Trump further declared.

Trump also commented to reporters outside the White House Friday that he hopes Hillary is investigated for election fraud.
”I don’t know whether or not that will happen, but I hope so,” Trump said.

Reactions are mixed.
He shouldn't have let her off the hook the first time. Justice demands accountability. Especially from people in positions of power. Letting powerful people get away with crimes goes directly against everything that makes America great.

Basically, what President Trump is hoping will happen is that others will do the arresting and prosecuting of criminal Deep State denizens so that he can distance himself from any involvement.
What could this mean? It means both parties are one and the same, belonging to the globalist cabal and are nothing more than mere tentacles presiding over patches of territory that make up the planet.
LMFO!!!! He HOPES? It Gets Investigated???-If These Treasonous Criminals Don’t Get LOOONG Sentences Then You Can Be Assured Once It Gets Back Control?-Trump Will Die In Prison!!!
Statute of limitation is 5 years for a federal crime. Stop trying to dazzle and distract us with BS. You’ve squandered all of the good will and credit we gave you. We are increasingly aware that after you’re gone, WE will be on the democrat menu. The reprobates will target us, using the full power that you gave back to them.
Well he is not going to hang his elite pedo friends now is he.
