Trump, still fighting last election, rips Barr and Pompeo for not pursuing Clinton hard enough

President Trump on Thursday attacked two of his closest associates for not doing enough to bring down his political opponents, as he continues to pursue his obsession with the 2016 election.

In a wide-ranging, 55-minute interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, Trump criticized Attorney General William Barr for not arresting enough Democrats and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for not finding Hillary Clinton’s emails from her tenure as secretary of state, which the president believes are somewhere inside the State Department.

“They’re in the State Department, but Mike Pompeo has been unable to get them out, which is very sad, actually,” Trump said. “I’m not happy about him for that reason. He was unable to get them out. I don’t know why. You’re running the State Department, you get them out.”

In addition, he attacked FBI Director Christopher Wray for not investigating his claims of widespread voter fraud.

It's easy to see why there's so much discussion of the 25th. He's clearly unfit and deteriorating before the nation's eyes.

Seriously- Remember none of those people ever hear anything he says or tweets. When asked they claim they’ve never seen or heard it.

First, nothing would mobilize Democrats more than the arrest and indictment of prominent members of the Party.

Next, find a grand jury that would indict to begin with. You can choose your AG but you can't choose to impanel a GJ with your toadies.

Next, face a host of lawsuits such as False Arrest, Malicious Prosecution, etc.

if the whole scandal was that the emails were on a private server? He is more out of it than usual. It's as if Shakespeare took a crack at rewriting Don Quixote.
