«Breaking News» Trump wanted Justice Department to investigate Hillary Clinton AND James Comey

President Donald Trump told White House counsel Don McGahn this year that he wanted the Department of Justice to prosecute Hillary Clinton and James Comey, only to have McGahn push back and remind him that he doesn't run the DOJ.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that at McGahn's urging, White House lawyers spelled out in a memo to the president how asking federal law enforcement to investigate his political enemies could open him up to an investigation that might end with his impeachment.

Trump has said privately that that he would favor the appointment of a second special counsel to probe both Comey, the FBi director he fired last year, and Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee whom he beat in 2016.

McGahn told Trump that even requesting a DOJ investigation, something within his power, would likely draw howls of protest and accusations that he was abusing his power, according to the Times. 

McGahn left the White House in October, with 21 months in service ranking among the longest-serving of Trump's top aides. 

The president named Pat Cipollone as his replacement, but the noted commercial lawyer and conservative Catholic activist has not been seen at the White House.

Trump has long resented Comey for what he sees as the FBI's effort to let Clinton off the hook after the 2016 discovery that she had mishandled classified material in her emails.

Clinton ran all her emails while she was secretary of state through a private server that sat in the basement of her Chappaqua, New York home.

More than 100 of her messages were later found to have been classified at the time she sent or received them.

But Comey announced in July 2016 that 'no reasonable prosecutor' would charger her with a crime, and spared her a career-ending criminal charge. 

Comey also released a book in April, 'A Higher Loyalty,' in which he excoriated Trump as a corrupt authoritarian leader who should never have been given the reins of power.

The conversations the Times described would likely have occurred around the time the best-seller hit store shelves.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
