“I don’t know about being disappointed or not,” Trump said. “But I have no doubt that they were involved in this hoax.

I have absolutely no doubt that Obama and Biden were involved and, as to whether or not it was criminal, I would think it would be very serious. Very, very serious. It was a takedown of a president, regardless of me -- It happened to be me. And in my opinion, it was an illegal takedown.
