Trump: A president under investigation can't govern or lead

[kpete]

I AGREE!!!

Three days before the 2016 election, Donald Trump said it would be "impossible" for government to work and "virtually impossible" for a president to "govern or lead" while under criminal investigation.

TRUMP: We need a government that can work and work well from day one for the American people. That will be impossible with Hillary Clinton, the prime suspect in a massive, far-reaching criminal investigation. Her current scandals and controversies will continue throughout her presidency and will make it virtually impossible for her to govern or lead our country.

Of course Clinton was not under “a massive, far-reaching criminal investigation” at the time. The FBI was simply reviewing additional emails found on a staffer’s laptop.

But Trump went further. According to a press release about the Nevada event still posted on his campaign website, Trump predicted that “the great special agents of the FBI” would indict Clinton, which would create a “constitutional crisis.”

It is very likely that FBI Director Comey, and the great special agents of the FBI, will be able to collect more than enough evidence to garner indictments against Hillary Clinton and her inner circle – despite her efforts to disparage and discredit them. If she were to win, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting President under felony indictment and, ultimately, a criminal trial.

It would grind government to a halt.

5. That statement sounds like it could have been written with the Con in mind, eh?

To TRUMP:

We need a government that can work and work well from day one for the American people. That will be impossible with you, the prime suspect in a massive, far-reaching criminal investigation. Your current scandals and controversies will continue throughout your presidency and will make it virtually impossible for you to govern or lead our country.

We ask for your immediate resignation.

All the more telling.

Another projection.

[Panich52]

10. Rubio parroted him on that. Hypocrites.

11. Projectionist-in-chief. You didn't fool 66 million of us.

And we're going to ride your ass every minute of every day until you're gone.

LOCK HIM UP!

13. Sorry, Donald, the "constitutional crisis" has you and your komrades written all over it!

[Glimmer of Hope]

14. Just resign already!

[L. Coyote]

15. Apparently he can still vacation every weekend and play golf, plus tweet bullshit.

So, he sure was wrong on that score!

[MagickMuffin]

16. Classic case of PROJECTION

Unfortunately, we got stuck with the Real Deal. He was talking about himself.

It is very likely that FBI Director Comey, and the great special agents of the FBI, will be able to collect more than enough evidence to garner indictments against Donald Trump and his inner circle – despite his efforts to disparage and discredit them. If he were to win, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting President under felony indictment and, ultimately, a criminal trial.

There I fixed it!!!

19. How'bout a president under audit?

That's an investigation too, no?

...Then again, some presidents can't govern or lead under any circumstances.

[George II]

20. Richard Nixon proved that from June 1972 through August 1974.

[onetexan]

21. We are in deed in an unprecedented constitutional crisis

We DO IN FACT have a sitting President under FBI investigation for collusion, facing possible impeachment, and ultimately, criminal trial for TREASON!!

[Fantastic Anarchist]

23. Who says he's governing and leading now?

All the bastard does is tweet and play golf.

[Orsino]

25. Trump has never demonstrated leadersnip ability.

He has only ever bullued hangers-on. Not the same thing at all

[raging moderate]

26. Nice to find a point of agreement!

Yes, Mr. Trump, you are right about this.
