Watch: Audience Roars as Trump Announces Plan to Get Hillary Investigated: Nominate Her to SCOTUS
“Lock her up!”
It was a popular chant for then-candidate Donald Trump supporters during the 2016 presidential campaign season, and even Sen. Bernie Sanders’ supporters got in on the act after they felt he was “robbed” of the Democratic nomination by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In October 2016, Trump addressed the matter, in a way, by telling the Michigan crowd, “Hillary’s corruption is a threat to democracy. She’s likely to be under investigation for criminality for a very, very long time to come,” reported Dallas News.
And now, the “Lock her up!” theme is back. While in Texas this week, as The Daily Caller‘s Benny Johnson posted on Twitter, Trump made a statement regarding getting Hillary investigated.
SAVAGE TRUMP:
“If you want the Fake News to investigate Hillary Clinton we have to nominate her to the Supreme Court. How do you like that? Let’s see how she does. If Kavanaugh had to go through what he went through can you imagine Hillary up there? 3-4 years of questions.” pic.twitter.com/lEFFxNqxC1

With that one quip, Trump landed blows against Clinton, the establishment media, the left’s behavior during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing, and the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s email server scandal. And the crowd loved it.
But her email scandal is not the only thing establishment media largely ignored or dismissed. And it’s not the only thing resurfacing with a vengeance as of late, either.
Establishment media outrage over the alleged murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi is understandable. But many are questioning where their moral outrage was six years ago when Americans were abandoned to die in Benghazi.
It is a scandal that began with lies and, to this day, has uninvestigated ties to Clinton that the establishment media continues to largely ignore or dismiss. Benghazi survivor Kris Paronto, however, has not let the matter rest, and since the Khashoggi news broke, has hit the hypocrisy hard.
For 13hours Americans fought against Terrorists in Benghazi while @BarackObama & @HillaryClinton did nothing. Then with the help the of #FakeNewsMedia they lied, attempting to cover up their negligent homicide.Your selective outrage because it helps your liberal agenda is a joke. https://t.co/LhZNEjin9H

And speaking of Paronto and Hillary scandals, he’s also hit the Russia collusion scandal with a tie-in to Clinton. Investigation into the accusation that Trump colluded with Russia keeps leading back to Clinton, among other Democrats.
Only collusion and crimes committed were by @HillaryClinton @Comey @petestrzok @JohnBrennan and the @DNC . Lock them all Up ! #HillaryForPrison https://t.co/HtGFHZfLz1

In a column last year, The Washington Times former editor in chief Wesley Pruden ruminated at length on Clinton’s own ties to Russian collusion, writing about the “uranium scam” and the “dirty dossier.”
Pruden then noted, “it turns out that Hillary’s campaign lawyer, one Marc Elias, brokered a deal between the Hillary campaign and the Democratic National Committee and Fusion GPS, a Washington dealer in campaign dirt, to make up the smarmy stuff.”
“Now a lot of reporters, some at The Washington Post and some at The New York Times, are complaining that Hillary’s lawyer lied to them. Heaven forfend! Did somebody say collusion with Russians?”
While Trump riles liberals, the media and the establishment of both parties with his utter willingness to speak out in the face of political correctness, his supporters are thrilled by the off-the-cuff, wise-cracking, “genius” that entertains and enthralls so many.
Sick of politics as usual, many longed for a straight-shooter who would just get things done. Things, in particular, that benefit America.
And Trump seems to be doing that, in what — for supporters anyway — is a non-traditional, and thoroughly highly refreshing way.
