As the day came to an end, the Republican decided to wrap things up with a call-in interview to “Greg Kelly Reports” on Newsmax, where the two touched on a variety of topics, including Trump’s alleged reluctance to prosecute Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election.

.....To the extent that reality still has any meaning, let’s review the receipts. In Trump’s first year in the White House — after the 2016 election was over and Clinton largely withdrew from public view — the then-president publicly pleaded with the Justice Department to go after Clinton.

A year later, in 2018, the then-president told the White House counsel that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute Clinton.

Ahead of Election Day 2020 — nearly four years after Clinton’s defeat — Trump again publicly called for the Democrat’s incarceration and lobbied then-Attorney General Barr to prosecute Clinton for reasons unknown.

None of this was kept secret. It happened out in the open. We all saw it play out in public.

And yet, there was Trump on national television last night, patting himself on the back for showing restraint, saying it would’ve been “terrible” and “horrible” if he’d targeted Clinton after the 2016 election and tried to have her prosecuted.

The problem, of course, is that Trump targeted Clinton after the 2016 election and tried to have her prosecuted. It’s not a matter of opinion; it’s simply what happened, whether the Republican assumes we’ve forgotten or not.
