It's a continuation of the biggest, greatest witch hunt in the history of our country. And they didn't get me in Washington, they tried Muller, they tried Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, impeachment one, impeachment two … and they sent the papers down to New York, "Hey, do the best you can!"  It's honestly ... a disgrace, and they hurt so many people, and it is very costly ... it is pure politics.  We have … radical, liberal, democrat prosecutors and they'll do anything they can.

They play a much tougher game than the Republicans. The Republicans don't play that way - they play a simpler game.

The Witch hunt continues … and probably always will … it should be illegal …  It's prosecutorial misconduct.

"Very, very little doubt that it came from a lab..."
