President-elect Donald Trump won’t push for prosecutors to investigate Hillary Clinton for her email practices or the operations of the Clinton Foundation, a top aide said Tuesday.
“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 others, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said on MSNBC.
Mr. Trump, during one of three debates with his Democratic rival, had said he would direct the attorney general to launch an investigation of Mrs. Clinton, whom he regularly referred to as “crooked Hillary.” He said repeatedly that she should be in jail, and his supporters often yelled “lock her up” at his rallies.
“If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation,” he said during a debate in October.
Mrs. Clinton couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
In the days after the election, he showed signs of wavering, telling The Wall Street Journal in an interview that he hadn’t decided how to proceed. “It’s not something I’ve given a lot of thought, because I want to solve health care, jobs, border control, tax reform,” he said at the time...

“Rule of Law”
Dont be so sure..
That’s simply not true.
Trump will have his DoJ investigate Clinton and they will indict Clinton as promised by Donald Trump during the campaign.
The old hag has suffered enough. The people rejected her for being a corrupt muzzard-loving America-hating witch.
Trump will benefit by deciding not to prosecute her.
This “not going to go after SHRILLARY” is just an example of what it takes to win; keep these communist bastards guessing.
Obama will look foolish if he pardons the KLINTOON KRIME FAMILY now.
Once the blue lipped mooselimb is gone, LOOK OUT SHRILLARY!!!!
LOL
“So it looks like she’s going to get away with it.”
Or, is he sandbagging??
No.
He’s saying he “won’t push.”
As President, he’s not necessarily in charge of whom is investigated!!
That’s work for the FBI and the DOJ.
It’s not up to TRUMP!!! It’s up to the Attorney General!!
So he’s going to drain the swamp, but leave the Swamp Witch alone? What sense does that make?
Can obama even legally pardon her?
No, he says he’s not going to push for it. Reading comprehension.
“The old hag has suffered enough.”
Not even close.
No, it looks as if we aren’t going to be talking about it when President Donald Trump can’t do anything to actually push and investigation. In boxing this is called “rope-a-dope”.
Let not your heart be troubled! Has he actually disappointed on any issue.
We might as well get on with it and pass an amendment to the Constitution officially designating the country as the “Banana Republic of the United States of America.”
Cool this down. Reassert his intent to investigate later. Good strategy.
People who have been prosecuted for far less should be pardoned immediately.
Trump to Hillary,”I lied”! Ha, Ha!
Or, is he sandbagging??
I'm hoping that he's sandbagging so that Obama leaves office without issuing a pardon. Once Trump assumes the presidency, perhaps "new information' will surface that demands a special prosecutor be appointed.
