During the second presidential debate on Sunday night, Donald Trump suggested he would appoint an attorney general and urge the new AG to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton's email malfeasance.

When Clinton protested that, quote, it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country, Trump fired back because he'd be in jail, which was funny.

The media, of course, went apoplectic. How could Trump suggest he'd jail his opponents? CNN's Dana Bash compared Trump to Stalin and Hitler. Clinton's campaign manager Pearl clutched, quote, he was talking like he would become some dictator of a banana republic and throw her and his political enemies in jail. This is, to put it mildly, very, very silly. Trump didn't say that he'd single-handedly send a military squad to round up Hillary and her aides and then dump them in a darkened cell somewhere before beating confessions out of them.

He said there would be a real investigation and that he believes Hillary's guilty.

Both of these notions are plausible and both are justified given the FBI's ridiculously rigged investigation into Hillary's email server.

Trump never said due process ought to be discarded or Hillary ought to be summarily executed. Hillary's allies have for

years suggested that politicians up to and including George W. Bush be frog marched out of their

abodes and into the gentle hands of law enforcement. The media's sudden obsession with law and order

is fascinating after years of

covering up the Obama administration's routine violation of legal process. From the IRS's

targeting of conservatives to the administration's targeting of journalists to the Hillary

investigation, the Obama administration has operated like a banana republic. To target Trump over

far milder statements is hypocrisy to say the least. But that's how the left operates.

It's not a banana republic if leftists administer the banana republic. That's a pretty convenient

standard for a group of people who would allow any Democrat to violate the law on a routine

basis and then call anyone who complained disloyal. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro show.

Oh, goody, goody gumdrops. So much to get to today, including Donald Trump,

finally breaking loose of those chains I've been talking about for so long. We'll get to all of it

because no one said the apocalypse wouldn't be fun, and we just said that it would be painful,

and both of those things are true. Okay, so before we do that, obviously we have to say hello to our friends at Birch Gold.
