Did We Make Him the FBI or DOJ?: Ann Coulter Blasts Trump Over Hillary Decision

It was reported this morning that President-elect Donald Trump would not push for an investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server or the Clinton Foundation. This obviously is a reversal of course from his campaign rhetoric, where he said that he’d assign a special prosecutor if elected and even told Clinton during the second debate that she’d be in jail if he were POTUS.

While campaign manager Kellyanne Conway and adviser Rudy Giuliani — who is reportedly up for a Cabinet position — have come out in support of this position, other Trump supporters don’t seem too thrilled about this news. Breitbart, the publication run by Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon, published a piece calling it a “BROKEN PROMISE.”

Meanwhile, conservative provocateur Ann Coulter, a fervent Trump supporter, took to Twitter to shoot back at Trump and tell him this wasn’t his job as president.

Whoa! I thought we elected @realDonaldTrump president. Did we make him the FBI, & DOJ? His job is to pick those guys, not do their jobs. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/801070243670007808

She's done nothing but self-promotion for income for two plus decades. That's not a job. It's an income, but it's not a job. There's no way to know when the task is accomplished.

He knows they'll have a lot more on him to put him away for decades.

He also knows they don't have anything on her.

He said this would be his first act as prez. I am disappointed because this thing would have backfired big time.

before very long at all, and if he doesn't do it first Congress will. Or perhaps Judicial Watch or another private group will build and light the fire they hope to burn Hillary on. With what we now know will be the FBI's and DoJ's assistance.

It was all a political stunt that no longer matters since she is out of politics for good. She is no longer a threat to the GOP. They'll be directing their attacks on whoever arises next.

conservatives on. Bad leaders have put their "jews" and other victim groups to such use for many centuries.

charging Clinton with some crime,this is all about Breaking the Cllinton Family Financially. Remember,Bill Clinton had to spend Millions in Attorney Fees for Whitewater and all the other Fake Gates without ever being charged with any crime.

This is all about personal ruination of a person's life. Trump has said many times,I punish my Enemies ten times for what they say about me.
