During a visit with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump showed exactly why so many people are flocking to his candidacy. He knows just what people want to hear and millions are aching to hear that someone, anyone will prosecute Hillary Clinton for her crimes.
Hannity started the segment by noting that if Trump were to win the White House he’d have his own Attorney General and would be able to go after Hillary if he had the desire. If his answer is any indication, it appears Trump has the desire.

“Well, look, you have no choice,” Trump began. “I mean, you have to solve all sorts of problems and fairness is you have to look into that. Now maybe she can prove her innocence but it just seems to me that I think the public knows everything they’re going to know, you know, the emails have come out and it’s, it’s, she seems to be guilty.”

“But you know what, I wouldn’t even say that,” he added. “But certainly it has to be looked at if a Republican wins, if I am winning, certainly you look at that as being fair to everyone else. It’s so unfair to the people that have been prosecuted over the years for doing much less than she did.
“So she’s being protected,” Trump concluded, “but if I win certainly it’s something I’ll look at.”

This is just the sort of thing that so many Republicans want to hear. Even Rush Limbaugh noted on his Tuesday show that things like this are likely to cause many conservatives to vote Trump despite their many well founded reservations about his long, long past as a common, run-of-the-mill New York liberal. As Rush said, this frustration with the Clintons breaking laws with impunity is so great for many center right voters that a Trump promise to indict Hillary may be enough to send them stampeding to pull the lever for Trump.
“Do you know what a big deal that is to people? I think this is another one of these classics,” Rush said early in his Tuesday morning show.
“The truth of the matter is,” the radio talker added, “there are people out there who have wanted Hillary Clinton prosecuted since the nineties. There are people out there who have wanted Bill and Hillary Clinton seriously intersecting with the law since the 1990s.”

Indeed with her email scandal it has already been definitively proven that Hillary broadcast classified information via her private email server — a server easily hacked by foreign enemies. Clinton, it has been found, sent information so highly classified many members of Congress wouldn’t even be privy to seeing it.
Other government officials have insisted that Hillary’s security lapse contained operational intelligence that put American lives and the lives of our allies at risk.
Hillary’s breach of national security was so blatant that Judge Andrew Napolitano has affirmed it is surely enough to indict Hillary’s top aides if not Hillary herself.
