IMHO: Irony: Trump's "jail" threat may innoculate HRC from future RNC impeachment

http://www.vox.com/2016/10/9/13222302/donald-trump-jail-hillary-clinton-second-debate

I've been reading about his threats all day, and I'm thinking that after all of this fascist behavior, the RNC might feel they can't "go there" without invoking the nation's fRump disgust.

By putting her squarely in the victim category, fRump may have prevented the RNC from going after her. The RNC would be seen as "Even Worse Than Trump" if they did what he suggested, and appointed a special investigator, after everything they've already done to her.
