BREAKING: Trump Will Not Pursue Clinton Investigations; Shes Been Through Enough
http://www.mediaite.com/online/breaking-donald-trump-will-not-pursue-investigations-into-hillary-clinton/
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. Im gonna think about it, he said at the time to Leslie Stahl. I dont wanna hurt them. Theyre good people, he continued of the Clintons.
Tuesdays 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 Trumps plans, according to the MSNBC morning show.
I am of two minds about that.
A show trial would galvanize the opposition, turn into a media circus, invite worldwide ridicule and condemnation, make America into a pariah nation, 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.
Real movements need real martyrs.
I suspect that is why Racist McRacist Face didn't go through with it.
P.S. She didn't break any laws!

that were made to hamstring HRC and you have a coup.

But those lock her up chants were fun, weren't they.

(100,080 posts)What he did wasn't just criminal, It was an act of treason. He's the real criminal in all of this. And the media just looked the other way.
