I agree, even though it would be great to see Hillary in an orange jump suit. I feel it is best for the healing of the huge divide in the nation to just let the witch get on her broom and fly into the sunset.

If he comes through on some of his campaign promises that actually DO matter, then this will be nothing more than a forgotten footnote.

He's not being compassionate and presidential, he hates her guts like millions others do. He likely fears for his life if anything. Let some other person be the go-to goat in putting her away. He absolutely did the intelligent thing.
The Clintons are vicious and bad to the core. Secret service or not, Trump would be looking over his shoulder the rest of his frickin life.

Actually in not prosecuting , he is doing her a favor, instead of a pardon by Obama which in people's minds would imply guilt. The Clinton-Trump friendship can continue, now.

Guess what ? At the end of the interview Kimmel might have gotten it right !

It seems like the "politically correct" way to do things . |

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Nixon go through it.
I could do it again.
I think it is essential we do this because by letting her go free, we send a message, loud and clear, laws do not matter. Only power.
This country will never have any integrity if he drops this ball.
No matter what else he does, he is telling us WE do not have a say in anything. the law is US. Too ignore the law is to ignore us.
He can rot in Hell if he does that. No matter what else he accomplishes.

Ah yes, the Professor.
He built a generator out of palm leaves, a radio out of a coconut, but he couldn't fix a hole in the boat.

My guess is this is a ploy to try and get Obama to not pardon her. If not, Trump will be a one termer.

I would wager any amount even if Hillary was tried, convicted and sent to prison for Clinton Foundation misdeeds, most of her following would feel it was a right wing conspiracy and she did nothing wrong.

Yes! The four men together couldn't fix the boat. And think of all the palm trees they had for lumber! Oh, maybe that wouldn't have been funny. Maybe it would have been funny to watch those four try to build a boat. Well, three. Thurston Howell III, do manual labor?! Don't be absurd!

If there is to be pardoning, Obama is likely the one who should do it, and be the Rat He Is pardoning His Rats who did wrong/shady/illegal stuff during his presidency.
Maybe Trump could get away with pardoning Hillary by reasoning that she isn't doing it under his presidency. And throw the book at her for anything her or the Clinton Foundation do do illegal under his presidency. I don't think Obama's pardon is a U.S.A. Plenary Indulgelce for Lifetime, just up to the day he grants it.

Trump has other stuff to do, anyway the new Attorney General Sessions will have the honor of appointing a special prosecutor (? Guiliani?) to take down the Clinton Corruption racket.
A brilliant announcement to fool 0bama into complacency so he will forget to give pardons to all of the Clinton Foundation leadership.

The U.S. Attorney for NY might do the dirty work for Trump.
He indicted some very close aides to the Gov of NY this week.
Clinton foundation may be on his radar
