For those of you who don't know, in Germany it was the night when Hitler purged his political opponents.
Most of what Hitler did, was completely legal under German law, note the Obama/Clinton administrations argument in regards to their actions.

"it was a bad choice, but legal".

Spare us the "Hitler" comparisons because I cant take you seriously anymore..

This is crazy talk, and it is seen only in dictatorships.
You're crazy talking. He never said what you claim he said. We should have had a special prosecutor to Avoid political interference and decisions. Trump would do what Obama should have done.

Never in the history of American Presidential politics have we ever had a candidate go into this kind of chilling territory. But then again, a lot of very negative records are being broken by Trump as of late.

Look, the Hillary email thing has been through like a year+ of investigation. FBI digging through it. Attorney General digging through it. Everything that could be scrutinized has been scrutinized. The evidence was looked at by independent entities in accordance with due process. Hillary handled her emails dismally and recklessly, and it calls her judgment into question. But nothing that can warrant the burden of criminal culpability has come of it. You can argue otherwise, but you're just letting your partisan zeal mask conjecture for fact.

For Trump to suggest now that he would convene a forum to reverse the process that's been carried out and jail Clinton is illegal and recklessly anti-Constitutional. Do people even understand what a massively dangerous precedent this sets?

And make no mistake: if you argue in support of this kind of behavior by a leader of ANY political persuasion and can't see you way through your partisan haze to recognize how dangerous this is, then you're anti-American. You're anti-Constitution. And you're not worthy of the heritage of this nation. End of story.
Crooked Hillary is the one trying her best to turn the country into a banana republic by corrupting government.

Typical democrat thinking. Agree with them or your anti-American. Why stop there ? Don't leave out Deplorable and unredeemable. Its the new badge of courage.

No, murdering his political opponents was not legal.

He said he would appoint a special prosecutor to go after Hillary if he became a president. Get used to it.

How is that any different than Democrats using the IRS to go after conservative groups while you then justified it?

No Nixon ordered the firing of the Special Prosecutor which led to 2 people in the cabinet resigning. It also forced the House to start Impeachment. Remember Nixon tried to kill democracy.
