CNN: Trump Wanted to Order DOJ to Prosecute Hillary and Comey

RUSH EXCERPT:

JARRETT: “Well, wolf, this remarkable new report really sheds light on just the extreme lengths that the president would go to try to go after and investigate and prosecute his political rivals, James Comey and Hillary Clinton. According to this report from “The New York Times,” the president had conversations with his-then White House counsel, don mcgahn, last spring, asking him whether he had the authority to order the Justice Department to look into investigating Clinton and Comey. Mcgahn rebuffed him and went as far as having his own white House counsel draft up a memo explaining the reasons why such an order would be detrimental and could possibly result in impeachment, wolf. Now, according to this report, it is unclear exactly what the president thought that Comey and Clinton had done wrong, although we’ve seen him tweet about it at length, calling them corrupt, calling them various names. He called on then-attorney general to prosecute both Comey and Clinton on a variety of occasions, but we haven’t seen any reporting that the justice Department actually followed through on those except in a certain limited sense, wolf.”
