  • During the general election campaign, Donald Trump told his supporters time and time again that he would appoint a special prosecutor to look into Hillary Clinton’s actions regarding Emailgate. Chants of “Lock her up! Lock her up!” could be heard a Trump rallies. Trump even told Hillary during a debate, “Because you’d be in jail” to raucous response.

    The general election is now over and Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in an astonishing victory that the pollsters never saw coming. So, will President-elect Trump make good on his promise to do what he can to lock her up due to the massive corruption that she has evaded consequences for under an Obama regime. According to President-elect Trump’s campaign manager, the answer is a resounding no.

    Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Tuesday morning, Conway revealed that President-elect Trump, in a break from promises by candidate Trump, has no intention to pursue any charges against Hillary Clinton because “she’s been through enough.”

  • I've seem some of the hardcore righties I know losing their goddamn minds over this but I think he's doing the right thing. Let it go and move onward and upward.

    I never thought he would anyway but the first flip flop of one of his campaign promises didn't take too long.

  • He just wants her to be comfortable so Obama doesn't issue a pardon.

    Anyway chaffetz and those guys are still on it, plus the FBI is still investigating the Clinton foundation.

    I figure by now that s*** has been scoured as cleanly as possible. I mean she's got another couple months of the justice department and the FBI to cover her tracks.

  • It's the right thing to do. All It would do is end up dividing us even more. It wouldn't take much work to put a case together. And most people know she's a dirty lieing bitch. I'd be happy if she never had a place in politics again.

  • Perhaps it's been explained to him what a terrible precedent that would be to set..

    Besides, the FBI investigation will continue

  • Bullshit its the right thing to do. He said it was day 1 material. Hopefully ed is right and they're just ploying fr obama to forego the pardon. Its the one thing i wasnhoping he'd keep his word about cause frankly it would be the easiest. I just wonder if the reps in the end prefer to have their liberal boogeyman, the clintons and their foundation, still around so they can use even minor associations against candidates across the country

  • I voted for Trump but I did so with my eyes open. Flip flop number 2. Trump changes tune on waterboarding.

    The president-elect’s turnabout on the need for torture as a tool in the fight against terrorism, which he repeatedly endorsed during the campaign, was remarkable. Mr. Trump suggested he has changed his mind about the usefulness of waterboarding and other forms of torture after talking with James N. Mattis, a retired Marine Corps general, who headed the United States Central Command.
    “He said, ‘I’ve never found it to be useful,’” Mr. Trump said, describing the general’s view of torturing terrorism suspects. He added that Mr. Mattis found more value in building trust and rewarding cooperation with terror suspects: “‘Give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I’ll do better.’” He added: “I was very impressed by that answer.’’
    Torture, Mr. Trump said, is “not going to make the kind of a difference that a lot of people are thinking.”

    "If you’ll remember, Trump and his surrogates dumped all over those dummies who were such wussies that they wouldn’t use what are considered “torture tactics” to get information out of captured terrorists. Here’s one instance where Trump pummeled Ted Cruz for being wishy-washy and uncertain, according to him, about the controversial tactics.

    Now it appears that was just a dumb joke and Trump is going to turn on his words and just give each terrorist a couple of beers and a pack of cigarettes.

    Now this might be a good thing as it means he’ll back off on his threat to force the military to commit other acts considered crimes against humanity but what does it say about Trump? He can change his policies at any moment as long as someone tells him a story he finds satisfying."

  • Cuz saying "I'll torture terrorists" makes his voting base feel good. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea.

    He played that base like a violin. Hopefully he backs off most of his promises

    I don't care about his flip flops so far and I"ll wait to see if he nominates and fights for a Supreme Court justice who is a strong constitutional justice like Scalia or if he caves to Chuck Schumer.

  • Yes its all about the scotus appointments - anything more would be good, anything less... well?

    and the fight will be in congress so we will see if they are a "new" brand...

  • I've said it all along. The people who are going to be most disappointed with a Trump presidency will be the Tea Party demographic that he stole from Ted Cruz.

    All of his shortcomings aside, I don't think Obama will buy that for a second. I believe that around 11:55 am on Jan. 20,

    Obama will issue a full pardon to HRC as a final "Kiss my black ass" to McConnell, Chaffetz, Issa, Gowdy, and the rest

    of the Republican faithful.

    I don't care if she sees any jail time at all. It will just be nice to know that the Democrats know and admit she's a f****** crook.

    For better or worse, that's the story of the 2016 election: like Trump, her supporters know exactly what she is---

    they simply don't care.

  • With all the protests and such it's better to let a sleeping dog lay but however always leave the door open to change your mind. Yep Trump has learned something from women.

    And if viewed solely through cold logic it probably makes no difference as to whether or not either of them can do the job.

    (especially since I believe anyone small amount of political knowledge can be president.)

    I agree. It depends on a large part on who the president-elect chooses to surround themselves with.

    I always thought it was unfair to completely lay the Iraq debacle on W's shoulders. Although, in the end

    it was W who had to make the final decision.

    I admit I am concerned by some of the people that Trump is bringing on board.
