Whoops.
Lying to the FBI... why would such honest business folk do that?
Also, Trump's comments are just fun to read.
"This happened years ago..."
As though that suddenly makes it better.
Maybe we should use that for Hillary...
"That happened years ago..."
Way to take it out of context. I'm going to bet his 'years ago' reference was to do with the fact that it was before Trump had anything to do with being or running for President. So the insinuation that Trump did anything illegal in relation to these charges is nonsensical
Hillary has always been dirty, she should be locked up on any number of reasons.
I don't support Trump either by the way. He is an uncouth drongo undeserving of the highest office. I simply have no political bias to tell me what to think or which 'side' to support.
You mean how it went on during the campaign? Which was the whole reason why he lied to the FBI: To prevent the FBI from thinking he was talking with Russian contacts while working on Trump's campaign. It says so in his guilty plea.
Also: The context is that Trump is claiming that the charges and crimes are old and that we should be focusing on Hillary clinton and the Democrats. BUT Hillary Clinton's charges (which have been investigated already) were from what... 2012? Years ago.
I see no reason why the FBI should not charge someone for crimes if they have evidence of a crime. Trump is literally saying "Don't waste your time investigating a crime that happened for someone I'm connected to, investigate the crime of someone I don't like and isn't president and has very little political power..."
He is trying to downplay the charges while also pointing the finger at his opposition.
Also:
Where, in any of this, am I insinuating Trump of doing anything illegal? No where. I have no idea how you even came to that very biased conclusion.
Far as I can tell, he had no idea what was going on and is likely an ignorant puppet who just said "Yeah, that's great" whenever someone said "Hey, I can help you win, just let me do what I want."
