Trump: Hillary Clinton ‘Would Be Going To Trial’ if Comey Wasn’t ‘Very, Very Good’ to Her
Trump: “When he (Comey) was reading those charges, she was guilty of every charge”
President Trump argued in a television interview that aired Wednesday that former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton would be “going to trial” if FBI director Jim Comey hadn’t been “very, very good” to her.
Speaking to Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo, Trump brought up how Comey announced in July he wouldn’t recommend prosecution over Clinton’s email server while secretary of state.
“Don’t forget when Jim Comey came out, he saved Hillary Clinton,” Trump said. “People don’t realize that. He saved her life. Because I call it ‘Comey 1.’ And I joke about it a little bit. When he was reading those charges, she was guilty of every charge. And then he said she was essentially OK
President Trump is exactly right. Comey read a statement of charges and then let her off the hook.
