moderator Chuck Todd that if elected president, he would have no problem with President Donald Trump being prosecuted after he has left office.
"America can do many things at the same time, but it's not the president's job" to prosecute a former president, Buttigieg said.Former special counsel Robert Mueller's spring report on Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election detailed numerous occasions in which Trump might have allegedly obstructed justice. Democrats in the House have been weighing whether or not to pursue impeachment proceedings in earnest as a result.
So will you jail Hillary and Obama and the Dems for their part in the Russian hacking investigation that cost us millions and never put the Dems in jail or investigated them
So is he also going to have all other DOJ employees and former employees that have committed felonies prosecuted? State Department? Hum? I see how this works..
He’s a joke look at his state he represents a mess
Elizabe78193241 Damn Pete, you just gained a shit ton of votes
What gives you the right to be judge and jury? If our President is so guilty why is he not being prosecute? Nothing you have will stick.
Buttlick has zero chance.
Go ahead. Im sure u can drum up charges on Bill 'I didn't have sex', Hillary 'what email?', W 'weapons of mass destructions', along with every lying politician about under the table stock trades & unethical political bs. So yea go ahead. Maybe we need to clean up politics.
Mayor Pete won't win There'll not be a gay Potus Not now not ever PeteButtigieg
Why?
Well fortunately, you won’t be elected.
Buttigieg is quite th 'comedian'. Many of us Trump supporters would have no problem if Buttigieg returned to Ft.Wayne, IN today!!
He won’t ever be President so it doesn’t matter. America doesn’t want a fairy as President, we need a real man like the one we have in office now!
That is silly. If Trump loses in November 2020, he pardons himself for all federal crimes. I think that is a ridiculous law, unrestricted pardon power.
Whatever.
Pete B. said he has a husband. How is that possible? Pete is a SHE to have a husband and hopefully bears a child soon.
Let's hope someone or something nails his ass to the cross. Sends him to jail for a long time
Mayor Pete talks and discusses every item that he has handed in an expert way mayor Pete is smart merepeat is tough and I believe would make one hell of a good president.👍👍
Would be kind of a revengeful President wouldn't he.....be divisive, keep the nation divided. Sure he's not related to the Clintons
Well don’t worry PeteButtigieg, Americans won’t elect a gay President, nor will the TheDemocrats.
I would have no problem with prosecuting Trump tomorrow morning
Yasss this is hilarious
We NEED YANG YANGGANG YANG FORWARD THINKING !!!!!
Me either!
Good then the same support for Obama to face the music now LockHimUp
Point...
Well the President has done nothing wrong, except step on the toes of real criminals (that triggered a simmering mental illness). And with regard to any Democrat running against him, it still carries a very big “IF” they win.
Comments like that are exactly why Buttigieg NEVER be President USA or even VP pick..People want USA 1st & no more Trump & Democrat BS which must be left behind..as Justices Kagan, Ginsburg, Sotomayer said of Justice Kavanaugh, He's one of us & what's in past is where it stays..!
PeteButtigieg has done amazing things at his small town where he was mayor.... Wait... all the locals say he has done a horrible job in Indiana! Oh yes— Pete is running as 1 of 23 Democrats & he is openly gay... so he deserves this attention
He couldn't prosecute his way out of a wet paper bag.
Joe and Pete in 2020.
Funny thing is you will not be elected president because u wont even win your party's nomination
So the same goes for Buddabutt. Let him keep casting stones! Buttigieg
Is this the Dem slogan for 2020? “We’ll continue the charade once we take over control of departments we can weaponize against him”.
This is not what he said.
Glad to see he agrees with TeamPelosi
He said he would leave it to the DOJ to determine whether to pursue it and would not interfere like a good President should. Let’s face it, TRUMP IS GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. We saw and heard him admit to it in an interview. guiltyAF
He's willing to make America a Third World Country that attacks the opposing political party once it's out of office starting a 'tit for tat' political war that may not have an end but will take us down a path of distruction. Trump knew it was wrong, it's why he left Hilary alone
Hillary wasnt!
I just read the opposite statement by Mayot Pete - so now I’m confused
PeteButtigieg said it’s would be up to the attorney general. Maybe he can offer the post to KamalaHarris ?
Why dont u prosecute the real criminals like killery and shitbama and all the dems with the proof of what they did and stop trying to convict an innocent person
You have to have PROOF a crime was committed, and even Comey could not! The real indictments are forth coming, so hold on to your socks.
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Does this mean he would have a problem with Trump being prosecuted if he was/were not elected?
We don't have to worry about either.
Idiot!
I’m down , Pete has some balls 👍🏼
Pete just crossed the line. Trump curse descends...
So Pete wants to politicize the DOJ and prosecute people he disagrees with politically....heil Pete
Makes sense..... Wait six years and then indict him. Is anyone buying this crap? Seriously? Harris claims as president, she'll take over the DOJ and dismember Trump publicly in Times Square on Independence Day.
He is a democrat running for a Dem President what do you expect him to say......he wants to win doesn't he.
I don't think we should elect someone who thinks we should put innocent people in jail.
Prosecuting Trump should be a mission! For all of us.
So he’s jumping on the bandwagon of pandering to get votes.
Well, since he won’t be elected, it won’t be a problem.
I understand that statement because he shouldn't order it to be done. The DOJ is supposed to work independently, not take orders from the White House.
PeteButtigieg is positioning himself to be the most extreme left candidate. His demeanor may not be extreme but his stated beliefs are way out there. He’s unlikely to get the Democrat nomination and he may be talking himself out of consideration for the VP selection.
Prosecuted for what?
1. The Constitution? 2. Innocent until proven guilty?
Not happening
What he said was he would leave it to an independent DOJ to determine if laws were violated.
I dunno, JoeBiden is gonna cure cancer. PeteButtigieg needs to step it up a few notches. panderingliberals
Even on Father's Day, the MSM still has TDS. They just cannot help themselves.
Prosecuted for what?
After? Ameica will be merely a memory you’ll never get back to by then. Ending trump is one thing. Ending the changes he’s already made, entirely different. Letting him make more and allowing them to bed in...bad idea.
Yeah lets throw him in jail on a bleeping lie constructed by the left By the way buttface lets lock up Obama and Bush and Clinton too
I thought we’re not supposed to prejudge the outcomes of investigations, the only investigations we’ve had so far have produced zero referrals for prosecution
Well you're not going to be president are you ButImgay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
realDonaldTrump needs to be arrested 5 minutes after the next president takes the oath of office on Inauguration Day. LOCK HIM UP!!
As it should be. How blatant does tRump’s crimes need to be?
Many gays in congress, he will be very busy.
Is there any other answer?
The rest of us don’t have a problem with it either!
Okay, how is that a relevant question?
Pete Buttigieg should not be referred to as “he” until he comes out as a male. offensive smh
TDS to the max
You have as much of a chance to become president as I do! Fool
🤣
Prosecuted for what? Why are these 'reporters' letting these idiots get away with saying such stupid things, but are willing to write hit pieces only attacking Trump?
a real loser here. wont even make it to the primaries
Prosecuted for what? You May want to look at Hillary!!!
PresidentPete2020
Yawn.
There’s no danger of that since Pete the fairy will not be elected and President Trump will be re-elected. Nbc news is lying fake news and the enemy of the people. You fools at nbc should have your broadcast license revoked.
We 'll settle for jr, or Barr
I know in the era of clickbait, we should take headlines with a grain of salt, but it’s still irresponsible to ignore the MAIN POINTS of Mayor Pete’s comment on this, which is that NOBODY is above the law and the DOJ should not be political. Period. PeteForAmerica WinTheEra
BUT DEAR NBC News ! MAKE NO MISTAKES ABOUT THIS, Pete Buttigieg WILL-NEVER AND CAN-NEVER BE ELECTED president OF OUR GREAT USA.THUS His RADICAL LEFTIST AGENDA'LL NEVER-EVER SEE ANY DAY-LITE. AMERICA MOVES FORWARD WITH HOPE PEACE, GREATNESS AND SUCCESS AHEAD
Have you ever posted anything worth reading?
Maybe he should use that in his crime ridden town of south bend where crime is 4x the national average or was it 5x
mayor peter butt how and wtf is wrong with south bend to elect crap creature!
Have you seen what you did to south bend?
There should be no reason trump should not be prosecuted. He broke the law. My problem is why wait? It does not matter the position. He is not above the law. If joe blow broke the law, nobody would wait 2 years to prosecute him. Why should it be any different for trump?
Well he won't have to worry because anybody with a brain would not vote for you.
Wow. What a brave and bold stance to take in today's political climate. Yawn
But it’s not your ( the president ‘s) call.... quit making senseless statements..... your playing politics like tRUMP is.....
Prosecuted for what PeteButtigieg
K, Bigshot...let’s get everything out there and Send Hillary Clinton to Jail after her failed attempt as the Secretary of State! 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
They all say that just to get in the chair. Once they are there, they don't agree. Will never happen. What about HRC?
More time and taxpayer money wasted on crap.
If realDonaldTrump doesn't get re-elected Reporters: Do you have any comments on the recent arrest of former President Donald Trump? Republicans: Who's that?
Take a walk
A true American he is.
When all registered Democratic voters vote & don’t stay home pouting because their candidate was not the Nominee, Democrats Win every time. So don’t be sore losers like Bernie Bros of 2016, & go out & defeat Trump, McConnell & Graham!
kstreet111 Any sane and moral person that follows the rule of law should have no problem throwing that scumbag and everyone associated with him in the Klink ..🚔⚖️🔗🔓
Does this idiot know that many states still have crimes against nature laws.
What's the problem with prosecuting him now?
He’s shameful dishonest , what is the wrong our president has done?
Should ask him about prosecuting HillaryClinton
Never gonna happen, because the Democrats will let it go. Once January 21st, 2021 comes, Trump is off the hook.
Using Trump’s incarceration, or that of others’ for that matter, as part and parcel of your political promises does not befit someone running for president. It does not look professional. After all, we all know he should be impeached and prosecuted now, without further delay.
This might actually work with the radical left ie voting for someone who pretends he might prosecute Trump (without specifying on what charges) and without any other specific policy.
Prosecuted for what, Pete? dipshit
But see Pete you WONT GET ELECTED
I Like Him, no obstruction There-Prosecute Him!!!!!
Go for it Pete..,
Trump deserved to be prosecuted after office . He and his family belongs to be locked up.
That promise alone may get him elected!
Don't care about Mayor Pete - he's a covert RACIST and secret republican! The reason he has a D next 2 his name is bc repubs R vile homophobic ppl who scorned him!!!! DONTVOTEMAYORPETE
Buttplug will never be president .
The problem is EVIDENCE OF A CRIME
Awesome
Butt-a-butt has about as much chance of being president as my pet beagle. I think realDonaldTrump can rest easy. By the time he leaves office, we may find a number of Dems and foreign operatives in federal slammers because of the attempted coup.
Yes but he is not fair to blacks
Not to spoil the outcome - but America isn't ready for a gay president. He won't win. Pretty much none of the democrats running have a chance against Trump. And once Trump starts up his campaign rally's... he will be unbeatable. AMERICANS LOVE HIM! TRUMP2020
Yay!
Beside Buttigieg never getting elected, Democrats have nothing now with which to prosecute Trump - let alone in 6 years after his second term 😂
Let Pete say whatever he wants, whenever he wants. He will never be president although he will be the most famous gay man since Sir Elton.
Democrats want to throw Trump in jail... no crime... they just want him jailed. Democrats have become the enemy of the people.
If he is elected President? Well he will be known as she because she has a busband also as ' Anis giving President of America '. What a great title for the POTUS.
For...?
Sounds good.
Democrats TDS is going to be why trump gets 4 more years😂😂😂
Way to swing Trump voters.
Good luck butt
Then he can’t pretend to be appalled when obama is finally brought to justice.
You will never be a president
Vote for Pete!!!!
This dude is a twit.
For what?
For what crime? If he has committed one why is the Congress not Impeaching him? BECAUSE the only crime he committed was beating HRC.
Butt Lick 👅 your the one that should be in jail .
Once you’re in office, I want you to focus on what needs to be focused on, okay? Just let it go and move on, people.
For what crime and state in detail how you come to that conclusion not no talking point line
The Democratic homosexual had fizzled out long ago
I suspect most folk want have a problem with him being incarcerated
These people need to move on. Can’t beat Trump at the polls so this is all they have to go on
Bro, there are many more meaningful things to do!
Petey doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell ever being elected president so he can just stop his silly pandering.
The GOP & their accomplices must be purged to save guard for all time the Constitution.....NEVER again.
VOTE HIM IN! - TODAY!!
I really like PeteButtigieg
Zzzzzz
Why not anyone who is elected should pursue him in criminal
And I don’t care I want CHANGE! I’m sick of this back and forth between parties! That’s why I’m voting AndrewYang YANG2020 yanggang
Just In!! Omg!! The mayor wants to ban Father’s Day.
That’s absolutely brilliant, so he has no problem whatsoever with Obama being prosecuted?
FOR WHAT? SMH Trump2020
Go ahead & if you think Trump & is supporters of his won’t fight back you are sorely mistaken.... because we will start WW3
Blah, blah blah..
Why is it that all of these people only offer is BS about Trump but have NO PLANS to help Americans other than wanting to give away everything for free to people who don't want to work for it. Come up with a better plan Pete.
We don't need another that hates females.
I keep asking . ..why are so many Democrats so full of hate ? With all this.,.. so sad
That’s a very basic thing that every democrat should believe in.
He basically gave his stamp of approval for any actions Trump may find to take against Obama or Hilary! Do these Democrats really think about what they're saying before they open their mouths? But then the main stream media really doesn't advertise how close they are to falling
What was it Hillary said at the debate? It was ‘frightening’ when Trump said he’d have to think about whether he accepted the result. The Dummycrats still haven’t accepted the result. Bunch of freaks. PeteButtigieg DNC realDonaldTrump
Awwww so much pandering. Remember when Mayor Pete seemed like a reasonable candidate?
Prosecute for wat exactly?
Only place he might b leader is sodom gomorrah
repent of your sins
Of course not. He’s a Marxist.
PeteButtigieg As if.
PeteButtigieg will never be Elected because his Lifestyle is that of Sodom and Gomorrah
Not what he said actually. Does anyone listen to what people say?
Mayor of South Bend? Hahaha! I’m sure Trump is shaking in his shoes!!
well you're kind of singing to the choir. Most people feel that way impeach him and then allow him to go through his 11 federal court cases of embezzlement and fraud he'll go down we don't need to put them down we just need to stop him
IN YOUR DREAMS!!
I did nothing wrong just like Trump. Would you have a problem with me being prosecuted for the Hell of it?
For?
We’ve got to impeach Trump even though there’s no crime. Just find a crime so we can impeach him! If he is not impeached he will win again in 2020! Horrible! The economy will continue to soar, illegal migration will be brought under control, jobs for everyone. Horrible!
For what? Shameful. Shameful. Shameful
Well said from a rump ranger
Trump needs the boot NOW, Mayor Pete. Impeach Trump.
Just like most Conservatives have no problem with BarackObama being impeached and prosecuted as the truth about his administration's role in Spygate is uncovered. Soon.
Nobody should have a problem with it. He's a criminal and must pay for his crimes
Lame. Democrats are so desperate they really will say anything: Leave the border wide open, give free education and health care to the millions who are showing up. It’s okay to kill a baby coming down the birth canal. Although socialism has NEVER worked, we want to give it a try.
Buttigieg will never be president so there's that.
I’m not running for president and I am okay with Trump being prosecuted at any time that suits the Democrats
He has my vote
Millimeter Peter Butt Plug for President!!
Buttigieg has no chance to be in the WhiteHouse in 2021 unless Trump invites him!
What is your plan to reunite the country, stop drug dealers, help people in addiction, improve the economy? Those are the issues that matter. I’m so very tired of our elected officials playing the back and forth spite game. We need someone to stop the hate, not escalate it.
Well that is one idiot who will never get the chance, no matter how hard the dimwit media praise him and his 'big idea'
This is a Leninist that the left leaning media has artificially turned into a Presidential candidate. This guy can’t manage the city in which he’s mayor, and now people think he can be President. What a joke.
Don’t hold your breath. You won’t be elected
If tricky-dick Nixon had never been pardoned, he would have ended up in jail...that would have sent a strong message that even tRump would have understood. 😎😡😎
I thought he was supposed to be a thoughtful m, caring individual. I guess not. Is he in favor of prosecuting Hillary who has broken the law?
The media can't even get the story straight CNN the fake media says If elected he would not NBC wack jobs say he would Same subject 2 opinion pieces
I’ve said the same thing
👌
Prosecuted for what ?
Buttmunch would never be president
Man y’all hate Trump more than anything. Hate is bad uh huh
For what? jackass
Go back
For what?
For what?
He wont win, we must vote Biden in for President. He's gonna cure cancer!!!! We cant lose!!!!
Who cares?
That SCUMBAG realDonaldTrump needs to be prosecuted NOW!!!!!
Yea ok genius set the precedent of prosecuting presidents after they leave great! Obama is still young so you prosecute realDonaldTrump then GOP should prosecute Obama and Clintons!
Trump will never be federally prosecuted. If he loses the election, he'll resign, letting Pence be president for a day to pardon him, his family and his minions. Then all Trump has to do is stay out of NY State. Hey, the golf is better in Florida, anyway.
