Yes, he really said this

Yes, he really said this

Last night in Cedar Rapids Donald Trump actually said this:

In this country, we cannot criminalize political differences. We do not abuse the law enforcement and intelligence power to target our political opponents.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have to spell out why that is an astonishing thing for him to say. Even after he said that his crowds were chanting “Lock them up!” and he stood there smugly grinning.

Here is Trump’s twitter archive on Hillary Clinton for March 2019:

Here’s the president’s lawyer:

“We’re now trying to prove who did it,” Giuliani said. “The premise is, somebody had to have started the ‘He colluded with the Russians’” narrative. 

Asked whether the president himself wants an investigation to examine this question, Giuliani said, “Goddamn right he [does]. This is not ‘Oh, gee, it’s over, let’s forget about it.’”
