Trump won’t pursue case against Clinton

President-elect Donald Trump has decided that he won’t seek criminal investigations related to former rival Hillary Clinton’s private email server or her family foundation, his campaign manager said Tuesday

Trump’s apparent decison, conveyed by Kellyanne Conway in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,’’ is a change from his campaign rhetoric, in which he issued incendiary calls for a special prosecutor to reopen the FBI’s closed investigation of Clinton’s use of a private server while secretary of state and had also urged investigations of allegations of corruption at the Clinton Foundation. He nicknamed the Democratic nominee “Crooked Hillary” and encouraged chants of “Lock her up!” at his rallies.

Trump’s decision to pursue or not pursue a criminal investigation from the Oval Office would be an extraordinary break with political and legal protocol, which holds that the attorney general and FBI make decisions on whether to conduct investigations and file charges, free of pressure from the president.

Conway said Trump sees things differently. “I think when the president-elect, who’s also the head of your party, tells you before he’s even inaugurated that he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone and content” to fellow Republicans, she said. “Look, I think he’s thinking of many different things as he prepares to become the President of the United States, and things that sound like the campaign are not among them,” she added. :lol:

it's called the 'picking on trump' thread but the cuck needs his look-at-me metrics.

Trump has enough on his plate getting his Cabinet selected and planning priorities for his Presidency. I don't think investigating Clinton would be considered a priority.
However there are other voices calling for further investigation into her conduct so it may or may not be pursued in the future.
She won't be much of a threat to national security once the new administration takes over. She won't have an important posting. Thank God!

exactly...it's just HE said HE wouldn't. the new attorney general could I imagine.

mind you, given hildebeast's health, I doubt she'll see more than a few more years anyway.

this is a non-story and nobody cares.

if the new AG chooses to purse it, let 'em have at 'er...otherwise, bigger fish to fry. people need to relax. elections do have consequences sure, but don't get too wound up in the minutiae.

Look, just because a guy insisted he would do one thing during his campaign, then immediately said, after being elected, that it's not a priority and that he wouldn't do it, that's no reason to take note of it.

he never intended to do anything of the sort.

there are no charges, it was all campaigning strategy, don't know
why people can't see that all along, somehow for all elections for
all candidates, things that are said 'should' have to be backed up
by actual proof, because any candidate who can shovel the crap the
best, and does go to the limit with insinuations, (because, as seen
on this thread, people believe anything that comes out in print, because
they want to, and don't care that it is a lie), then they repeat it over and over
hundreds of times, and more dummies believe that, and on it goes, trump was doing
that, and had no intentions of charging her with anything. if he had lost, he would
have hollered and shouted and threatened with more law suits, which he has done all of
his life in business, constantly threatening to sue people who go against him.
so this was very simple for a level headed person, who has no hate during this race, to
see it clearly.

Does anyone really think that a thorough pragmatist and forward looker like Trump would waste his time on some bit of backsliding vindictive vengeance without an ounce of practical utility. He has more class than that, and more important things to do.
