Trump says the FBI knows Clinton is guilty of crimes

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. _ Hours after the FBI affirmed that Hillary Clinton would not be prosecuted for her private email server, Donald Trump said rank-and-file agents "won't let her get away with her terrible crimes."

At a rally Sunday night in this Detroit suburb, Trump cast doubt on the thoroughness of the FBI's review of emails that Clinton adviser Huma Abedin kept on a computer belonging to her estranged husband, Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former New York congressman.

"You can't review 650,000 new emails in eight days," Trump told a rowdy crowd of thousands at an outdoor amphitheater. "You can't do it, folks. Hillary Clinton is guilty. She knows it. The FBI knows it. The people know it. And now, it's up to the American people to deliver justice at the ballot box on Nov. 8."

The crowd repeatedly broke into loud chants of "Lock her up!" as Trump pounded Clinton for using a private email system when she was secretary of State.

Michigan was the third of five states where the Republican presidential nominee was campaigning Sunday. Clinton leads in Michigan polls, but is concerned enough about her standing here that she plans to campaign outside Grand Rapids on Monday.

Trump hopes that Michigan's white blue-collar voters will propel him to an improbable victory here that could block Clinton's path to the White House.

"We're going to stop the jobs from going to Mexico and China and all over the world," Trump told the crowd in Sterling Heights. "We're going to make Michigan into the manufacturing hub of the world once again and no politician will do that. They don't have a clue."

Trump criticized Ford, Chrysler and other companies for their manufacturing in Mexico and other countries.

"It's not going to happen if I'm president, believe me," Trump said.

Trump also promised to end the "nightmare of violence" caused by immigrants in the country illegally.

"Keep 'em out!" a man hollered from the audience.
