I believe he said he had no interest in pursuing the matter. The next AG just might, however.

I hope he's just speaking for himself and not suggesting his administrations "policy" re Clinton.

What the average working middle class America wanted was to tell her off and he did it for them helping release frustration and say "Finally!"



I'm the average person and I want him to do what he said he was going to do. If you think the Clinton Foundation shite ends with her you are mistaken. This kind of stuff... pay for play, charity bullshite, etc... on a smaller scale is happening in DC in BOTH frickING PARTIES.

Put everyone on notice that this shite is not going to be tolerated any longer. I don't care if Hillary is charged or faces a trial, the important thing is to do what you said repeatedly you were going to do and investigate it. Let folks like Harry Reid who has amassed a mini housing empire while working for the government sweat it out. Fire about 1000 shots over the bow and see what happens.

This isn't about Hillary, this is about something much much much larger in DC. If you are going to drain the swamp you start by removing the biggest piece of shite out of there first. Haul off the floating couch and then work your way down. Just do what the frick you said you would do.

We made multiple donations to Donald Trump and I support him 100%. Also made donations to Wikileaks to help shut down Hillary. I put my money behind Trump and against Hillary. I plan on voicing both my support and my displeasure.

Not a troll at all. He clearly, repeatedly said he'd appoint a special prosecutor and then backed off those statements today. You tell me how what he said today squares with the special prosecutor talk.


He was running an election. He said what he needed to to get elected.

Now that he has been elected he can say the things that NOW are best for him. Since what he SAYS now will have no affect on getting elected he can say that he isn't going to pursue her. This makes the indictments by the DOJ look less aggressive on HIS PART!

Nothing good would come out of saying he was going to throw her in jail now.

Technically he CAN'T personally have her indicted. Just like technically the Clintons can't protect themselves from prosecution with L. Lynch in her current position.

Sorry but that's not how he ran his campaign. He said he had positions but knew they would be a starting point for negotiations. This is completely understandable.

The Hillary investigation is completely different. If the DOJ or FBI decided not to pursue, that would have been fine. Trump coming out and saying he wouldn't pursue an investigation after saying for 12 months he would... does not fly with me.

He is calming the retards and distancing himself from the subject. It's not his job, he'll let his guys go after her once in office.

Obama doesn't pardon Clinton then Trump owns her. I think Trump doesn't want Obama to pardon her so she can become a bargaing chip

Surely you aren't stupid. Do you really think anyone is protesting or throwing a temper tantrum because of a possible Hillary investigation next January or February?? Seriously?? JFC.

Are you this dense?? The Hillary investigation is so far off the radar screen for these people... most of whom are ALREADY BLAMING HILLARY FOR THE LOSS... they couldn't give a frick if she was investigated or not. This does NOTHING to appease those people.

Good god.

There are still multiple investigation ongoing!

He is showing the left "he isn't so bad after all".. and yes, like Hillary and Obama, he has a responsibility to calm things down.

If you don't get that, I'd likely be wasting my time trying to explain it.

Disagree. I think this was a wise move. He wins some points with D's and hits the target proactively before the media has a chance to pin him in a corner.

The end game in all this is the Clinton Foundation anyway. Sessions will go balls deep in them and do his best Neagen impersonation with Lucille.

I tend to agree. He should have said that he will support a non-partisan Justice Dept. and rule of law in general.

Well... Rush and Hannity are on today. Will see what they have to say. I seriously doubt either of them will think this was a wise move in any way at all. I expect them to say exactly what I said yesterday and what FoxB said this morning, big mistake.

But... we will see.

There have been ongoing discussions about the Clinton Foundation for years... nothing "started" 2 years ago. The Uranium deal was back in 2012/2013 and there were a lot of people that thought this was a form of treason.

Before that the Haiti bullshite started in 2009 and came to light.

Wikileaks doesn't is merely another link that shows a very clear interaction between Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and her position as Secretary of State. Do you have a single source that showed the connection and the overlap of all 3? Nothing out there has come close. Yes, there are financial records but the emails tell the story. Not sure if you didn't bother to read a lot of the Wiki stuff or just didn't understand exactly what the ramifications of those connections were. Wikileaks was a homerun in the scheme of things. Like any case, you probably need more than emails to prove something as sinister as a Rico case. Wiki, combined with financial records, combined with emails, combined with other evidence is the path forward on this. Wiki shows the connections and the intent.

I don't want the President publicly saying he's going to go after anyone but enemies of the State. Publicly stating I"m going to tear Hillary to shreds is not the way to go right now.

I hope he just lets the FBI do their thing. If they don't find anything, fine. If they do, Trump can't be blasted for going after a political foe.

Trump is acting on the information provided, including the likelihood of a conviction. The FBI has concluded after reviewing the emails they have found nothing prosecutable.

Trump needs to not spend one ounce of political capital on Clinton, he has nothing to win. Clinton is in political purgatory.

Spend your time building a great cabinet, then go about the business of helping Americans. Obamacare, Jobs/Trade, Border, Infrastructure, tax reform.

As I recall, Trump said he would not prosecute her limited by what he could control. Remember the NYPD statements regarding their investigation of Weiner. They were shocked and sickened by what they discovered. NYPD promised to release the info to Wikileaks or bring charges themselves. Trump would be unable to control either of those scenarios. Just let it all play out and see what happens.
