“As an terrible judge of the character of a dictator and butcher in the Middle East, is she guilty or not guilty?” he shouted in reference to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Added Baldasaro: “I believe Hillary Clinton committed treason”.
“Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason”, he continued.
“Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason”, Mr. Baldasaro said during Tuesday’s appearance on the Jeff Kuhner Show. Trump refers to Clinton as “Crooked Hillary” in an attempt to frame the candidate as someone who is dishonest and has poor judgment. “I think there’s a great deal of animosity, politically, and I don’t see what that brings you in terms of credibility in Congress”.
Christie, who is governor of New Jersey and leads Trump’s White House transition team, said the campaign was drawing up a list of federal government employees to fire if Trump defeats Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the November 8 presidential election.
But others have piled on.
“She lied about her emails”.
However, the State Department knew about her private server. She even lied about sniper fire. In a fundraising pitch to donors, her campaign said the GOP convention had “felt like a dark turning point in American politics”.

“Donald Trump’s overtaking of the Republican Party – and his constant escalation of outrageous rhetoric – is in danger of mainstreaming the kind of hatred that has always been relegated to the fringes of American politics where it belongs”, Jennifer Palmieri said.

“If she was found guilty (of treason) in a court of law, that’s what would happen”, Baldasaro told the Daily News, referring to his previous comment about Clinton being killed by gunfire.
Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska spoke briefly on Tuesday and did not mention Clinton or Trump. “C’mon. We can make the case that she shouldn’t be elected without jumping the shark”. And Bill Pickle, a SC delegate and talk radio host, said those doing the name-calling “sound and act like demons”. He told NBC, “I stand by it because treason is treason”.
Republicans have been reluctant to back Trump for most of the year.
In an email to Mic, Trump campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks wrote simply, “The campaign does not agree”.
Manafort told reporters at a convention briefing that anger was not the tone of the convention but acknowledged it “may be an undertone”. He said the “Lock Her Up!” chant punctuating speeches at the conventions “probably reflects the attitude of a lot of people in America”.
Trump has not matched Clinton’s support numbers since mid-May when his rivals dropped out of the race.

“They don’t understand why justice wasn’t done”, he said. He did the right thing by vetting those groups.
