In an interview with the Daily Caller, President Donald Trump said it “would not bother” him in the slightest to see disgraced former FBI Director James Comey and ex-CIA chief John Brennan hauled off in handcuffs live on television as a result of his administration’s ongoing investigation into the Russiagate hoax.
Trump sat down with Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese on Friday for a wide-ranging one-hour interview.
Trump made it clear that the so-called “Russia collusion” narrative was not just a political dirty trick; it was a crime committed against the American people.
During the interview, Reese pressed Trump on whether he believed arrests would follow.
“They lied, they cheated, they did everything you can do that’s illegal,” Trump said. “They’re the ones that committed all the crimes. We didn’t commit crimes. They committed all the crimes. They should be [arrested] because they’re crooked and they got caught.”
When specifically asked if he’d be “comfortable” watching Comey and Brennan handcuffed on live TV, Trump didn’t hesitate:
“Would not bother me at all.”
Excerpt from Daily Caller:
REAGAN REESE: I want to ask you about Russiagate. Director Gabbard has declassified Russiagate documents. They’re explosive. She’s referred the case to the DOJ.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: By the way, she’s coming along, right?
REESE: Yeah. Do you think there are going to be arrests? Who do you think is going to be arrested, and how quickly?
TRUMP: I don’t know if there’s going to be. There should be. What they did is a disgrace. They cheated, they lied, they did so many bad things, evil things that were so bad for the country, and because they did something to me that should have never been done, nobody thought they’d ever do that. Actually, when I left, nobody thought that would happen.
They get – they just went crazy. They’re bad people. They’re sick people. They’re the ones that committed all the crimes. We didn’t commit crimes. They committed all the crimes, there should be, I can’t tell you whether or not because I really I don’t have to stay uninvolved. I’m allowed to stay involved, but I purposely don’t get involved. I can say that they should be arrested.
They lied, they cheated, they did everything you can do that’s illegal, and then they accused — it’s amazing, even I see it now with me. They say he’s actually looking to arrest him. What the hell did they do with me? You know? And then they’ll say he’s – they make it sound like I’m a bad guy.
I had to have a mug shot taken, right? Yeah, these are bad people. They’re sick people, and, you know, the press plays along with it. But they should be. I mean, I’m probably answering the question more than you think I should. They should be [arrested] because they’re crooked and they got caught.
REESE: So James Comey and John Brennan, would you be comfortable seeing them handcuffed and arrested live on TV?
TRUMP: Would not bother me at all.
REAGAN: Do you think it’s a possibility?
TRUMP: See, I wouldn’t have answered that question that way four years ago. Do you understand that? I wouldn’t. Because, well, Hillary’s a good example. We had Hillary cold. I didn’t want to see that. I didn’t want the, you know, the wife of a president, to go to jail, but she was stone cold guilty of things. And if you remember, at the, at the big rallies, I’d say, ‘Alright, take it easy.’ You know, they’d all say, ‘Lock her up. Lock her up.’ After we won, before I won, just, they could do whatever they wanted. After I won – yeah, I was very gracious. And I assumed that, you know, I was a president, we had a great first term, first, not like this one, though.
REESE: Yeah, this feels different.
TRUMP: It’s better. It’s, I don’t even know, I don’t think it’s experience. If you look at the first term of this, you know, we had a great first and we had a great economy. We rebuilt the military, we did the wall, we did the whole thing. And we did great on immigration.
But the thing is, that immigration was peanuts compared to what they left me, because when I mean they left, people were coming in, millions of people a month.
Remember that they had a period of time, seven months, when anybody in the world just poured into this place, and we have to, we have to get them out, because they’re very, very dangerous.
No, if, depending on what they find, they’re guilty, they’re guilty. They’re bad people, and they are very, very sick people, beyond bad. They’re sick.
