    Trump admitted he'd give illegal orders to the military, and claims they would follow him because he's "a leader."

    Yes, if you take what he said completely out of context.

    I fail to see how him ordering the military to murder the family of terrorists is "out of context."

    Or how, when confronted by "They would refuse an illegal order," how "they'd follow it because I'm a leader", that's "out of context."

    Please provide video for the above quotes.
    He said he would "go after" the families of terrorists - never said murder or kill.
    He did say, "They'd follow it because I'm a leader," but not in response to an illegal order question, simply an order question.

    Lots of Trump bashers in the various media have mixed and matched what he says at various times to questions and implications.
    Yes, he spouts off quite often, but the above quotes are intentionally misleading.

    Again, provide the video - it must be out there somewhere.

    Yes, he didn't explicitly say murder or unlawful. I would have to be persuaded that there are limits to hunting down terrorists. Also Obama and his drone kill list is probably illegal. The United States deliberately target civilians in WWII via strategic bombing too.

    Also my understanding is the CIA usually did the interrogation and allies often provide the dirty tricks.

    There were rumors that Putin/Russia did something similar after the the Beslan School Massacre in North Ossetia. That being they went after the terrorist's families.
