Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Republican presidential candidate and billionaire business mogul Donald Trump said he will beat Hillary Clinton because her refusal to turn over her private email server in light of a congressional subpoena is “criminal.”
Host Jake Tapper pointed out that in the latest polls Trump would lose to Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head match up, to which Trump replied, “The fact is that what she has done is criminal. I mean what she has done is criminal. I don’t see how she can run because if the prosecutors who are all Democrats by the way, and that’s part of the problem with fairness here, they’re all Democrats, so they’re protecting her, but if you had an impartial prosecutor and they were honorable, and maybe they are, we’re going to find out but what she’s done is criminal.”
He added, “What she did is far worse than what General Petraeus did and he’s gone down in disgrace. What he did is not as bad as what Hillary Clinton did, and it’s similar. But it’s not as bad. I mean, she got rid of her server. He never did anything like that. And she did it after getting a subpena from the Untied States Congress..So with Hillary I think I’ll beat Hillary easily. I think I will beat Hillary. I don’t think these other guys will.”
