It was reported this morning that President-elect Donald Trump would not push for an investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clintons 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 hed assign a special prosecutor if elected and even told Clinton during the second debate that shed 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 dont seem too thrilled about this news. Breitbart, the publication run by Trumps 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 wasnt his job as president.

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

(6,409 posts)He said this would be his first act as prez. I am disappointed because this thing would have backfired big time.

(58,785 posts)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.

(53,137 posts)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.

(58,785 posts)conservatives on. Bad leaders have put their "jews" and other victim groups to such use for many centuries.

(34,661 posts)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.
