Trump aide Kellyanne Conway: No plan to pursue charges against Clinton

[ehrnst]

President-elect Donald Trump's administration will not pursue further investigations of Hillary Clinton related to her private email server or the Clinton Foundation, Trump's former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday, a significant break from a major campaign promise.

"I think when the President-elect, who's also the head of your party, tells you before he's even inaugurated that he doesn't wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone, and content" to fellow Republicans, Conway said in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

At the second presidential debate in early October, Trump threatened Clinton, saying that "if I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation."

Conway said Clinton "still has to face the fact that a majority of Americans don't find her to be honest or trustworthy," but added that "if Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that's a good thing to do."

1. Charges for what?

[Rorey]

2. Thank you, brucefan

I wish those numbskulls who were/are crying for charges against Hillary would realize that it would just be a stupid useless distraction and a poor use of resources because the issues have already been settled. Trump should just come right out and say that he was just using unethical campaign rhetoric to appeal to his mindless base.

3. His lawyers probably told him not to be talking up corruption in anyone's foundation.(nt)

4. Not that I wish HRC any ill will, but I was hoping the tRumpistas would *try*...

...to take legal action against Clinton. She and her attorneys would have them for lunch, and they know it. tRump shot his mouth off for votes, plain and simple. He is a liar, cheat and thief. Acting on his campaign grudge against Clinton would aptly demonstrate to some of middle America just what a callous, petulant 70-year old child they elected, and would soon see the tide of public opinion turning against them.

5. Well, darn...

6. Good. It would be just more wasted effort to

Try to bring her down further.

A huge waste and stupid politically.

1.7 million more votes that the orange nemesis you call boss.
