“I think we have to find out what happened first,” Trump said. “Here we go again with, you know, you’re guilty until proven innocent. I don’t like that. We just went through that with Justice Kavanaugh and he was innocent all the way as far as I’m concerned.”Keep in mind that this is the same guy who said Hillary Clinton was guilty and still eggs his crowds into chanting "Lock her up" (no charges have been brought, let alone proven). He thinks James Comey is guilty of something (no charges or convictions) Also keep in mind that Trump claimed that the Central Park Five were guilty, despite their being exonerated by DNA evidence.
The conclusion is clear: In Trump's mind, the presumption of innocence only applies to those he likes, himself above all.
UPDATE: BooMan suggests that Trump is being, in essence, an accessory to murder after the fact.
Hillary did admit to violating the law (the confidential info/ peivate email server), the FBI found the situation fuzzy enough (intent, knowledge, whatever) to not bother prosecuting.
ReplyDeleteComey: "Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."
None of which excuses Trump from being a clown.
