Showing Original Post only (View all)Donald Trump has angered a lot of people about what he told ABC News: [View all]
The President told ABC he'd listen if a foreign government had damaging information about a political opponent -- and wouldn't necessarily report it to the FBI...That was not the brightest thing to say out loud to ABC News. Why? He is saying that if he could get info illegally from a foreign government, he would take it, and not report it to law enforcement. (FBI) Let's keep it very simple. Donald Trump thinks he is so smart and brilliant that he could get away with obtaining that kind of information. (illegal information) He is so sure of himself..that he could say something like that.
..Now I have observed that over the years there are many honest, brilliant, decent, hard working people in law enforcement. (FBI, Secret Service,United States Marshal Service, local police, military police, etc..the list is endless) A lot of those workers devote their whole lives to catching all types of criminals. For the top leader of the United States to say the above makes those dedicated officers of law very angry. Trump says he would take the information and not report to law enforcement and use it against his opponent. He is saying sure I would take it and..here is HIS HUGE ERORR..".HE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY REPORT IT TO THE FBI."..(law enforcement)
There are many people, tens of thousands, who work in law enforcement and do not like what he said. Those people are offended that the . President could publically say something like that. And some of those workers in law enforcement take that as a challenge to their "integrity" and the integrity of many law enforcement agencies in the U.S.A. The challenge is ..can Donald Trump get away with doing this?..or more important.... Has Donald Trump already tried to get away with breaking laws doing what he just said, not reporting them? .Because of this "challenge" I believe that some leaders in law enforcement will take on Donald Trump and try to prove that .Donald Trump cannot get away with it.
Some leaders in law enforcement will appoint some very sharp and brilliant workers, agents, or cops, (call them what you want ) to show Donald Trump he cannot get away with it. Why? Because those leaders don't want any well known leader to spout out talk like "I can get illegal information, and I can get away with it, and not tell anyone.." The leaders of the FBI, Secret Service, and other agencies throughout government want to prove that this "big mouth" is totally wrong.
Why? That is their job, and that is their life long commitment to catching people who talk like that. Who knows who it will be that will find the info and facts on this loud mouth dope? (D. Trump) But you had better believe that many people in law enforcement take this as a challenge and they will get this loud mouth. That is what they do. These people are not new. They get the crooks plain and simple. That is their job and life long commitment. D Trump does not know who he has challenged. But he will lose. That is a fact. Just the Facts!!

He pulled that shit following the Lester Holt interview, so the precedent is there.
