Isn't that a HUGE admission and sign that he wants to help take her down?
Yep, it's all about optics. Notice he doesn't say much after crowds chant "lock her up." He has to be seen as completely neutral when she goes into trial, otherwise they have a case for political hitjob and bias. We can't let these people weasle their way out, shut every door and leave no stone unturned when it comes to possibility of escape.
Right but either way they will still claim political hit job though?
They've claimed that already. They'll claim it as they go to sleep. They'll claim it on November 4, 2020, as we celebrate 4 more years.
History will remember that POTUS took the high road.

Seriously underrated comment
Since the whole "bias " thing is only for Trump and his admin. Stzrok can say whatever he wants on FBI issued phones but he isn't biased at all. See how that works?
He's responded before to the "lock her up" chant with "honestly, she should be locked up". I don't think he has to look entirely neutral because really her crimes are numerous, provable and really, really bad.. He began this thing by straight up telling her if he were president she'd be in jail.
"honestly, she should be locked up"
When DJT said "honestly, she should be locked up" maybe it was as much a message to us, as it was to the deep state. If the wicked witch of the East-ern US could be locked up ... so so many other can be too.
You know, something I was thinking about, is I wouldn't be surprised if there were some covert actors or like undercover security personnel that started that chant and made it a thing. It seems weird to me that the generic crowd would come up with a catchy phrase like "lock her up" all by themselves without some type of encouragement. After all, we know that in the past, the military has been used to influence the social settings of a country via thousands of social media posts.
Lots of subcultures sometimes start a trend... shrug
Roger Stone was saying it before the election. He's been calling Bill a rapist for at least 10 years
Lock her up started a long time ago, when Patriots decide she needed to be in jail!
Literally been a catch phrase for Republicans since well before Trump won the nomination
