Trump Says He’s Open To Jailing Hillary for Russiagate: ‘I Just Want to Be Fair’

President Donald Trump today suggested that he wasn’t opposed to jailing Hillary Clinton for her role in the 2016 Russiagate conspiracy.

The president’s comments came during an appearance on New York Post reporter Miranda Divine’s “Pod Force One” podcast. The president was responding to the declassified information on Russiagate that was released earlier this month by his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

“We had Hillary Clinton down to whatever we wanted to do with her,” Trump said, noting that he “felt it was inappropriate” to prosecute her.

“She’s the wife of a president. She was a Secretary of State. We could’ve done a very big number.”

“And I said, we don’t want to be doing that…the concept of putting her in jail, indicting her, all the things that you have to do.”

He said that at the time, he wanted to focus on the country. “I said, no, no … we just won. We have to get back to — we want to heal.”

Trump said that he feels differently now.

“I was the one that killed it. And then they do the same thing to me. I just want to be fair.”

“Ultimately, it’s up to Pam,” he added, referencing Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Trump has consistently called the allegations that he colluded with Russia to prop up his campaign in the 2016 presidential elections a hoax and an act of “treason” that “put the country in danger.”

Gabbard stated in a press release accompanying the documents that she has referred all lawmakers involved to the DOJ for possible criminal prosecution.

“No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again,” she said.

“Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people.”

CIA director John Ratcliffe said that Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, former CIA director John Brennan, and former FBI director James Comey have all been referred to the Justice Department for investigation and could face prosecution, though Obama is likely protected under presidential immunity.

Bondi has appointed a strike force to investigate the documents.

“The Department of Justice is proud to work with my friend Director Gabbard and we are grateful for her partnership in delivering accountability for the American people,” she said.

“We will investigate these troubling disclosures fully and leave no stone unturned to deliver justice.”
