Trump Begs Special Prosecutor To Leave Him Alone And Go After Obama Instead

Donald Trump had yet another meltdown about special prosecutor Jack Smith at the end of this week, and this time he tried a different approach with his usual "whataboutisms." Trump claimed on Truth Social that it is actually Barack Obama that should be investigated because he was somehow involved in the Hillary Clinton email scandal, and Trump added that Smith should "do the right thing" for the country by investigating Obama. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this latest desperate attempt by Trump to deflect attention.

Donald Trump took a couple more shots at special prosecutor Jack Smith this past week and this time he decided to invoke Obama and Hillary Clinton because according to Donald Trump, Jack Smith should not be investigating Trump. Jack Smith ought to be investigating Obama for Hillary Clinton's emails. That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? Here's what Donald Trump wrote on truth Social towards the end of the week. Why aren't they asking President Obama, what's going on with his administration? I'm gonna have to stop right there. Um, they're not asking him what's going on with his administration because we're now two administrations removed from when Obama was in office. See Donald Trump, uh, Obama doesn't have an administration. They left office on January 20th, 2017 at 12:00 PM noon eastern. So, so there is no Obama administration to ask. Just go ahead and clear that up for you right now. He continued crooked. Hillary took an illegally deleted an acid, washed 33,000 emails after getting a subpoena for those emails from the United States Congress. And who knows how many classified documents Joe took, especially pertaining to Ukraine and China. Maybe Trump hating special prosecutor Jack Smith, who is doing the dirty work for his Marxist Democrat friends, should do the right thing for our country.

So much misinformation in so few very sentences. So here's the thing. First of all, the whole she acid washed the computers. Donald Trump heard a conservative pundit say that way back in the day, and he has continued to use it ever since then. And I guarantee you he doesn't even know what it means. I think Trump genuinely believes, and we know this based on statements as kids have made over the years, they genuinely believe that they actually poured bleach on the motherboard of the computer to like fry it. That didn't happen. All those missing Hillary Clinton emails that she deleted, guess what? The F B I has those, and they had them back in 2016, and I can't believe I'm having to once again rehash the Hillary Clinton email crap. But just in case anybody forgot or anybody maybe didn't know, what happened was the F B I went down to the offices where those computers were stored that had the emails on them. They made copies of the entire hard drives. So rather than taking the entire computer with them, they take their little backup drives, make whole carbon copies, and took those back with them. So then when those computers were, you know, acid

Washed, it didn't matter because all the material was already in the hands of the fbi. You see, when the FBI is investigating any kind of cyber crime, unless the computer itself was used in the crime, like if you pick up the computer and you're smashing somebody's head, yeah, they're gonna take the computer. But if they're only interested in the data, they do not carry around the big computer with them. They will make a carbon copy of it and take that with them because that's easier to handle and easier for them to go through. That's how they do it, and that's how they did it with Hillary Clinton. And by the way, Donald, we, we had investigations into that. We had house investigations into that.

remember, whenever a Trump family member points fingers and plays the "What about them" game, they are confessing to CRIME

Trump is sad and an embarrassment. Can't believe that thing passes as a leader in the GQP.

[Bubba]

His stupidity is boundless, ever increasing and desperate! God am I loving it!

[Miapetdragon]

That's funny Obama had never had problems with the plumbing!

[saneasthenextguy]

Smith isn't permitted to pick and choose who or what he investigates, Trump never seems to know how things really work.

When conservatives say "do the right thing, " they always, always mean "just give me what I want!"

[shadowskill]

He could have gone his entire life being a business man and not gotten into politics and everyone would have mostly left him alone like a Musk or Bezos, free of legal consequences or serious inquiries. But his look at me ego couldn’t leave well enough alone.

Still waiting for Trump to be indicted... just one. 😐

[islandmaster]

Why can't a judge rule thirty days in jail for attempted to derail investigation?

[ollieox]

The thing I can't get my head around is that it's a 78+ year old man - and a former president of the US - who is writing this shit. If I had to guess, I would have guessed a D-minus student in middle school who's not allowed to be the playground bully anymore.

MATA "Make America Trumpless Again"!!!!

[louislafontaine]

What surprises me is no matter what idiotic claim Trump launches, there is a fish to bite the bait. I met a guy this week who told me Trump was the real chief of the US army. And we are here in Canada… The state of the mental health of our modern societies, greatly influenced by disinformation on social medias, is frightening.

We're talking about you 45 not 44.
Stay focused everybody.
The distraction thing has grown tired.

[natalieharless]

Keep it up, T, PLEASE!!!! Smith is watching...👏👍😁😂🤣😭😁💯❗

[theplasmawolf]

That's such a mad thought we have to wonder if Trump still knows how to put his clothes on in the morning.

[jkarma]

still going on about obama and the gop calls us obsessed.

[juan-carlosfrancois]

Barack Obama did nothing wrong, he is sooo scareedd😂😂😂

[Bluezette]

Excellent post, Farron, but given the topic (as someone old enough to have actually seen and used them) I had to laugh when you talked about a "carbon copy". 😆

This is why we need to improve our education systems. It’s imperative
