    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.

                              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.

                                  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.

                                    I think she should go to jail if she put our national security at risk. That is not small potatoes.

                                    Flashback: When the Clintons Loved Russia Enough to Sell Them Our Uranium The Democrats’ newfound paranoia about Russian influence on American affairs was certainly nowhere to be found when Hillary Clinton was cheerfully selling them a huge chunk of America’s uranium stockpile, right after a Russian bank paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for a speech.

                                    The Uranium One story is among the incidents detailed in Peter Schweizer’s Clinton Cash. A quick recap: Uranium One was originally a Canadian company, bought out by Russia’s state atomic energy agency, Rosatom.

                                    Uranium One’s big shots were very, very generous donors to the Clinton Foundation, the “charity” through which so much foreign money flowed to Bill and Hillary Clinton. The New York Times reported in April 2015 about how those donations spiked as the deal for Rosatom to secure Uranium One and its holdings in the United States was brought to a successful conclusion, along with one of Bill Clinton’s biggest paydays ever:

                                    As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
                                    And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.
                                    […] Whether the donations played any role in the approval of the uranium deal is unknown. But the episode underscores the special ethical challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation, headed by a former president who relied heavily on foreign cash to accumulate $250 million in assets even as his wife helped steer American foreign policy as secretary of state, presiding over decisions with the potential to benefit the foundation’s donors.

                                    The Russian bank in question, Renaissance Capital, was so pleased with Bill Clinton’s performance at that $500k Q&A that Vladimir Putin, who was prime minister at the time, personally called Clinton to thank him.

                                    According to Clinton Cash, the total donations from Uranium One shareholders to the Clinton Foundation exceeded $145 million, in the run-up to Hillary Clinton’s State Department approving the Rosatom deal, which gave Russia control over about 20 percent of U.S. uranium.

                                    The Clintons have always insisted that none of these big foreign contributions or six-figure speaking fees ever influenced policy decisions, but now they’ve suddenly become very interested in Russian influence on the DNC Leaks controversy.

                                    That’s an impressive double standard, which the media also follows, since the same news organizations currently flooding the zone with Russian hacker stories were completely uninterested in asking Hillary Clinton about the Uranium One deal. Even papers that reported on the story, like the New York Times, made a point of never confronting Clinton about it, during her amusingly rare press availabilities.
