BREAKING: Trump Will Not Pursue Clinton Investigations; Shes Been Through Enough (WITH THOUGHTS)


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. “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.


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!

Add in James Comey, the Russians, and the unceasing and unneeded investigations into nothing
that were made to hamstring HRC and you have a coup.

So many other ways to satisfy the cruelest cravings of his base. Pick on some other innocents not his own size.

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

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.

and basically tell Trump to make my day."You have libeled and slandered me in public, and I want an accounting. Also it is not your decision. You stated that I should be locked up, now prove it."
