Trump's response? "Hillary Clinton has got to go to jail"

San Jose, California (CNN)Donald Trump on Thursday called for his likely Democratic rival Hillary Clinton to be imprisoned.

"I will say this, Hillary Clinton has got to go to jail," Trump told supporters here as he slammed Clinton's foreign policy speech earlier in the day in which Clinton called Trump dangerous and "temperamentally unfit" to be president.

"Folks, honestly, she's guilty as hell," Trump said of the Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state.

Trump has previously accused Clinton of breaking federal law, but his comments on Thursday are his most direct call yet for Clinton to face jail time over her use of private email to conduct official State Department affairs...

Why, the emails, of course. Think the media might be all over this comment like flies on shit? And the Democratic Party lined it up and purposely stepped in it.

Just great.

Section 793(f) of the Espionage Act, RICO, etc... Many, many DU Bernie Fans have created many, many threads claiming that Hillary has committed actual felonies.

Those who commit felonies are usually sent someplace beginning with "j" and ending in "ail". So yes, Bernie supporters have advocated for jail time.

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

The media is on that story, since he turned on them like a wounded hyena the other night. He's the guy with public legal problems.

I am surprised trump even bothers making hay out of it. At worst he loses a few million dollars maybe.

He's more likely to end up in jail for his whole fraudulent university scheme that no one here seems to want to discuss.

No sniping. I do not support Clinton, and in fact think she's the weakest candidate the Dem party can run against Trump. And it IS true she may be indicted. But I have NEVER called for her to be imprisoned. If she has broken the law, then she should face the penalty, but nothing has been proven and no indictment has yet emerged.
