MSNBC: Trump won't pursue Clinton investigations
2016-11-22
[The Hill] MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" is reporting that President-elect Donald Trump will not pursue investigations into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server or her family’s charity foundation.

"Source tells @Morning_Joe @realDonaldTrump won't pursue investigations into @HillaryClinton for private email server use/Clinton Foundation," Joe Scarborough’s show tweeted Tuesday morning.

Trump had routinely attacked Clinton on the campaign trail over her use of a private server as secretary of State and for foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation while she was in the Obama administration.
"Lock her up" was a common chant among supporters at his rallies.

During one of the presidential debates, Trump quipped that Clinton would be in jail if he was elected.

Trump said in an interview after the election, however, that prosecuting Clinton would not be a priority.

#19  As I recall, the IRS has had several investigations of the Clinton foundation running simultaneously for some time.

#18  ^ THIS. I thought we had a Federal Bureau that did that. What was their name? It'll come to me...

#16  Anticipation of the contract signing, and last minute chess game to seek concessions, signal voids, mislead and distract.....classic business deal making 101.

#15  Gotta wonder if this will effect the riots in any way.

#14  So Obama will not have the opportunity to pardon as lame duck. After 1/21 the gloves come off.

#13  I'm not going to pursue a Clinton investigation...but you or Obama screw with me and the presidency and I will make a world-of-$hit rain down on you.

#12  MSNBC "says" that Trump doesn't plan to pursue her crimes. Hmmm. I wonder what AG Sessions plans to do?

#11  Beat me to it Crazy...my thoughts exactly..why provoke a Champ pardon. Plenty of time after he loses the Pardon card on 1/20

#10  I think he should simply allow the FBI and Justice, his justice department, deal with it. Don't commit either way and don't provoke an Obumbles pardon.
After 2-Jan-17 all bets are off.

#9  Trump has a lot more pressing things to do that live Hillarie's past. DOJ and Congress are the ones to do that. Trump needs to focus on the future and lead this country, let congress and the FBI fight crime...

#8  Trump will NOT pursue investigations into Hillary: 'If Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that's a good thing':

"Kellyanne Conway, a senior official on the Republican's presidential campaign and now his transition team, told Morning Joe the president-elect has a lot on his mind and 'things that sound like the campaign aren't among them.'
'I think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that a majority of Americans don't find her to be honest or trustworthy, but if Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that's a good thing,' Conway said."

#7  The thing is, he doesn't need to appoint a special prosecute. Congress is still planning on going after her and the Clinton Foundation. Trump can play "nice" for demoncrats that would be hostile to him, and still put her lying, treasonous ass in jail.

#6  Maybe she's dying?

#5  MSNBC trying to dictate terms?

#4  And then there are her 'accessories to the acts'. Cruel huh? She skates maybe(?), they serve the time. Heh. Anyone else want to be around that poison?

#3  That was my first thought.

#2  How do you know he did? This is from MSNBC.

#1  He should not say whether he will or no. He should let her sweat it out.
