LOS ANGELES.–Speaking at the Democratic National Convention [DNC] last night, 76-year-old former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton got the last laugh with the 17,000 audience chanting “lock him up,” reprising in 2016 when Trump supporters would often chant “lock her up” for Hillary’s known destruction of files on her cell phones and private email servers. Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, 65, a frequent Trump critic on CNN and MSNBC, said it was a political epiphany to hear DNC attendees changing “lock him up.” “You can see it her face at one point, she was just kind of like, getting the groove of it. And I don’t blame her,” Steele said on MSNBC, referring to the RNC audience chanting, “lock him up.” Democrat speakers often called Trump a convicted felon for his May 30 conviction on all 34 felonies.
Former President Donald Trump and his backers claim the trial in Manhattan was a kangaroo court, trying Trump on phony charges for ordinary bookkeeping misdemeanors. Trump claims Manhattan DA Alvin Braggs, Judge Juan Merchan and the jury were all vindictive Democrats throwing the book at Trump. So when Democrats, including 81-year-old President Joe Biden, call Trump a convicted felon, it’s not accepted by Trump followers. When it came to Hillary Clinton, she lost the 2016 election to Trump but inflicted as much damage as possible through the 2016 campaign and during his four year presidency. Steele mentions nothing about Hillary accusing Trump of being a Russian agent, accusing him of collaborating with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election. During the 2016 campaign, Hillary conspired with the Obama White House to investigate Trump.
Steele finds it amusing that the DNC audience would chant “lock him up,” for the payback to Trump’s past rallies. But when you think about Hillary past conspiracy with the Obama White House, leading former Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch to authorize the FBI to launch a counterintelligence investigation of Trump and his campaign it’s an outrageous abuse the Department of Justice and U.S. criminal justice system. Former FBI Director James Comey used Hillary’s fake opposition research AKA “The Steele Dossier” [no relation to Michael Steele] as probable cause to investigate Trump. Comey received Hillary Steele Dossier from former CIA Director John Brennan who turned in over to the FBI. Only a few extraneous misfits were ever charged in the monstrous government conspiracy to sabotage Trump’s 2016 campaign to help Hillary get elected.
Michael Steele finds it amusing when the DNC audience chants “lock him up.” “She’s always been a bogeyman for a lot of Republicans for a long time,” said Steele, referring to Hillary Clinton. Hillary once blamed the 1998 Monica Lewinsky affair on a “right wing conspiracy,’ denying her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had an affair with Monica Lewinsky. “But this whole idea of locking her up because of crime she never committed and wrongdoing that she was never involved with, and to have someone who’s now sitting there running for president with 34 convictions—yeah, it’s a little bit ironic to have that moment unfold,” Steele told Trump-hating MSNBC. Steele acts like he’s ultimate judge of whether Hillary committed any crimes when she destroyed evidence on her server. For any other defendant, that’s instant conviction of obstruction of justice.
Steele insisted that Hillary never committed any crimes, considering that even Trump-hating former FBI Director James Comey, investigated Hillary for destroying evidence on her server. Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe decided to not press charges against Hillary before the Nov. 3, 2016 presidential election. Hillary blamed Comey for interfering with the election bringing up anything about deleting electronic files off her server. So when Steele insists Hillary did nothing wrong, he really means she was never charged with crime, not that she didn’t scrub her server of electronic files. Steele called the DNC audience chanting “lock him up, “probably the most rich, ironic moment in political history,” showing that Steele is a Republican in name only. Steele knows that all the fake Democrat investigations of Trump were an egregious abuse of the Department of Justice.
Hillary finds only a pyrrhic victory listening to DNC attendees chant “lock him up.” Democrats have abused the Department of Justice [DOJ], FBI, CIA and National Security Agency [NSA] to go after Trump for years. House Democrats conspired with the DOJ to get Trump charged Aug. 1, 2023 with multiple felonies related to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots and Aug. 8, 2023 for retaining classified docs at his Mar-a-Lago residence. So when it comes to Democrats trying to lock up Trump they’ve thrown the book at him to stop his 2024 campaign. Steele shows for all to see he’s a fake Republican and Democrat political hack used to sabotage Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. When you look at everything Hillary did to beat Trump in 2016, it’s nothing short that a monstrous criminal conspiracy. Democrat still accuse Trump of colluding with the Kremlin.
