Donald Trump calls for a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton Foundation scandal

"SNIP.............


Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump urged for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton's involvement with the Clinton Foundation during her tenure as US secretary of state during a rally in Akron, Ohio, on Monday.

Trump accused his Democratic rival of corruption, claiming that donors of the foundation were given preferential treatment and awarded with special favors.

He went on to say that the investigation calls for special circumstances, as the US Department of Justice "has proven itself to be a political arm of the White House."

"After the FBI and Department of Justice whitewash of the Clinton email crimes, they certainly cannot be trusted to quickly or impartially investigate Hillary Clinton's crimes," Trump said at a campaign rally in Akron, alluding to Clinton's use of a private email server

The GOP and desperation are one in the same.

Here's hoping that the GOP loses really yuuugggeee in November across board.

event he DOESN'T go to, what flops he flips from, and when he's going to release his tax returns (never) is an opportunity LOST to talk about 8 years of gop disaster, obstructionism, lack of interest in problem solving, and poor policies.

This is false flag campaigning. It's more entertaining and less constructive for the media to talk about a terrible candidate than a horrendous performance by an entire party. The GOP is the issue, not Trump.
