Morning Joe is reporting today that president-elect Donald Trump will not be pursuing any criminal investigations into his former political rival Hillary Clinton.

The report, first announced by Mika Brzezinski, comes just a week after a 60 Minutes interview where Trump indicated that he may not launch a full investigation into the Democratic nominee. “I’m gonna think about it,” he said at the time to Leslie Stahl. “I don’t wanna hurt them. They’re good people,” he continued of the Clintons.

Tuesday’s report from Brzezinski said that Trump feels as if Clinton has “been through enough.”

Brzezinski noted that Trump will refrain from seeking further action against Clinton for her use of a private email server, as well as any investigation into the controversial Clinton Foundation. The report comes from a source familiar with Trump’s plans, according to the MSNBC morning show.

1. Gosh, that's so bigly of him.

Wonder what the "Lock her up!" mob will think?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I am of two minds about that.

A show trial would galvanize the opposition, turn into a media circus, and the protests would shut down commerce in the city where it would be held. It would be a shit show and Hillary would be vindicated in the end.


I suspect that is why Racist McRacist Face didn't go through with it.

14. That or any further investigation might spread to his corruption in the election

no pursuing charges keeps people from finding out the truth about him. I think that's the first reason. Second is basically what you said. In the end she would win.

Now he has some explaining to do to his foaming at the mouth supporters.

This is another huge promise he is breaking bigly.

No wall, you get a fence that's already there.

No swamp draining, he just made it more toxic.

But on the other hand he did throw out the nasty media.

And he is gonna cut loose the takers sucking on the government tit, by getting rid of SS, Medicare and Medicaid, but Obama-care might take longer to dismantle if it can be.

And we got a new friend with Russia.

Wow awesome. So let's see those taxes and how about a presser?

Most President-Elects have had at least one this far into the transition. Bill Clinton used to hold the record for longest time for one at 9 days. But that title is orange man's now, 14 days and counting.

19. They knew nothing would happen

They didn't care...as long as they can yell "lock her up" like the children that they are.

2. I think we know why this is don't we Don the Scam artist?

[MoonRiver]

3. I never thought he would. It was just a political ploy, like the "wall,"

which will also never be built. That said, I'm glad Secretary Clinton can live her life in peace.

4. "Controversial Clinton Foundation "?

Wtf?

[NCTraveler]

6. Don the Con knows all hackers aren't fascists onteam Russia.

The next couple of years will include many leaks from hackers going after the Trump orginization. While the server will not be the issue, Republicans have bastardized Clintons emails to the point they in themselves are bad. Reap what you sow, Pig.

All of Trumps motives are personal and self-serving.

7. Don't believe it.

When it comes to an authoritarian Donald, who imagines himself "leader of the world or something," DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS but also BELIEVE HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS, no matter how much you don't want to.

All bad governments need an enemy to turn the mob anger on, and Hillary is far, far too useful to just let go. They'll be needing her.

[el_bryanto]

11. You may be right

If you are thinking they are setting aside that issue for now when it's likely to hurt them, but will bring it back up when and if it can help them I'd agree that is the most likely scenario. Something like 6 months from now when Trump is going through a rough patch, get some new revelation about Clinton and use it to attack Democrats.

The only thing that throws a wrinkle in this is that Trump isn't really rational, in the same sense that most politicians are. So it's hard to predict exactly what he will do.

23. Umhmm. Trump's feeling good now, but it's very

likely what he perceives as attacks over his action will bring on more narcissistic rages.

Plus, who says Trump is needed to rev up the lynch mob? The right-wing conspirators who created it for their own purposes are pushing full ahead and have control of both houses of Congress. They will need to distract anger from what they are up to, and we now know the FBI and Department of Justice under whichever despicable person is named will collude.

8. What about all the people who voted for him screaming, "Lock her up!"

They will feel so used. Dumb bots!!!

[Catherine Vincent]

20. I'm telling you, they don't care

Idiots.

[mindem]

9. Surprise, surprise, surprise...

How long will it be before his minions realize they have been taken for chumps by don the con? Their pathetic hero worship is sickening.

[Solly Mack]

10. Oh, my. A wet dream dashed. How will his supporters carry on?

[BeyondGeography]

12. But oh how thrilled the Trumpkins were when he said this

[Sorceress]

13. Doesn't surprise me.

One, he plans on doing much worse. Two, don't be surprised if he changes his mind should she act out of pocket and criticize him too much.

[spanone]

15. 'she's been through enough' oh fuck you people on mourning ho

[Grey Lemercier]

17. 'she's been through enough'

I am pretty sure thats a quote from Trump

[Paladin]

16. Mika may be impressed with this. Me? Not so much.

I hope it's on the level. If for no other reason than to end discussions on Jesse Jackson's asinine suggestion that Obama grant Hillary a pardon, in the absence of any proven crime.

[Catherine Vincent]

18. FU, Trump!

[cwydro]

21. I never believed he would.

Not for a skinny minute.

[malaise]

22. Lock him up

I still don't know why Hillary didn't call him Don the Con every time he called her crooked Hillary
