concerned, they believed hill clinton should go to jail. if i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get aat special prosecutor to lk into your situation. you know, it is just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country.r because you d be in jail. should hillary clinton be in jail? yes no. you know her. if i did what she did, i d be in jail. if i did a tenth of what she did, i d be in jail today. remember the crowds at the republican national convention just thundering over and over again, lock her up! what they were actually saying was lock her up for mishandling classified information. once donald trump did become president, he did try to put her in jail. on multiple occasions he told officials toe prosecute clinto. he ordered his white house counsel to get a justice department to prosecute her. according to a book from beater baker, trump repeatedly pressured his attorneys general to pr
