FBI/HILLARY CLINTON/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump attacked his own Justice Department and FBI leadership and implied Hillary Clinton could face criminal charges during a campaign rally Thursday [8-30-18] night in Indiana…Trump also suggested he could take a heavier role in the Justice Department — comments that came hours after he told Bloomberg that Attorney General Jeff Sessions would remain in his job until after November’s midterm elections…The rally was Trump’s second visit to Indiana since the state’s May Senate primary to campaign against Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly, a senator he dubbed ‘Sleepin’ Joe.’ The rally comes hours after a memorial service for Arizona’s GOP Sen. John McCain — a near-constant target in Trump campaign rallies — whose casket was flown back to Washington as Trump traveled to Indiana. It also comes the day after the President announced that his White House counsel, Don McGahn, would be departing later this year. Trump in recent days has also lashed out at the Justice Department and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. And he accused Google of promoting President Barack Obama’s speeches to Congress but not his — a charge Google said is not true.”
