In an interview with Newsmax host Greg Kelly, former President Donald Trump seemed to accuse Bill and Hillary Clinton of getting away with questionable conduct.
"They released Hillary Clinton," he said, suggesting the former Secretary of State wasn't criminally charged for her "extremely careless" handling of classified data over a private email server.

Trump then tried to suggest Hillary wiped her computer using acid that he details is as a potentially potent chemical weapon.
"She hammered her phones," he said. "She used all sorts of acid testing on anything else. They call it BleachBit, but it's essentially acid that will destroy everything within ten miles."
"I mean what she did was unbelievable. Nothin happens to her."
The camera cuts to Kelly nodding as if in total agreement.
Hyperbole aside, this claim is factually baseless.
BleachBit isn't actually a chemical or lethal liquid, but software that "frees disk space."
And then he complained that former President Bill Clinton got away scot-free in the so-called "Socks Case."
"Nothing happens to bill Clinton He took it out in his socks," he said. "You know the famous Socks Case which he ended up winning."
It's a familiar Trump hit, as he mentioned it last year.
The case, according to LawFare dealt with tape recorded conversations between Bill Clinton and historian Taylor Branch that were meant to be a primer for the 2009 tome “The Clinton Tapes.”
Trump said Clinton had recordings in his sock drawer so that the staff wouldn't mess with the tape and prevent a leak.
Many pounced on Trump for his wild miss on the facts.
"Can Trump explain to me what kind of acid the Email Lady/ HillaryClinton used," asked @Ty22Best. "Sulfuric acid? Hydrochloric acid? Nitric acid? Organic acid? Because from my chemistry classes I never heard of an acid that could destroy everything within 10 miles!!"
@libdunkmedia poked fun at Trump tweeting, "He gets his classified briefings from 4chan now."
@KevinlyFather opined, "I wonder if he even knows it's software."
The same sentiment was felt by @newtnewtriot, who posted, "BleachBit is a free open-use software that literally anyone can use. The idea that its something nefarious is laughable."
"Maybe Trump dropped acid," @RoxaneLGibson floated. "This guy is really going fast."
