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

Quote:

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."

Poor deplorables

"Lock her up," they chanted

But but Trump said....

Good. It's pointless to open up that investigation for a third time, and if he were to, it almost looks kind of petty because she was his political opponent. It's almost like him winning wasn't enough, but he would be going after her for that, too. He has more important issues to address.

Just one of the many promises he will break to his deplorables

Father Trump being compassionate

Cause he can't and if he could he would lose. Dummy.

This is all a distraction from the breaches of protocol he's committing so far. President Carter had to give up a peanut farm because the GOP feared a conflict of interests yet the con gets to walk free because the democrats are spineless.

This was obvious from the start. She lost and why should they care anymore?
Makes me sad that she won't face judgement for her criminal activities though.
The power of a last name I guess.

You mean the crimes they spent years investigating only to come up with nothing?
Keep on being sad, I guess.

Well because there is much more stuff coming out for him and his aides

Well she's not a criminal, as she's been investigated twice and they found nothing worth inditing her over.

A person commits the crime of tampering with evidence when he or she knowingly:
alters, conceals, falsifies, or destroys
any record, document, or tangible object
with the intent to interfere with an investigation, possible investigation, or other proceeding by the federal government.
(18 U.S.C. § 1519.)

She destroyed evidence she was aware was part of an FBI investigation. That is a crime.
Since when do we allow the person who is investigated to choose what evidence is or is not incriminating to them and then destroy it?
She breached security protocols that she knew were in place for reasons of national security and protection of classified information. Those things are not taken lightly by the US government and you can find cases on Google of people being punished for doing so who had a much lower security clearence than her. It doesn't matter what was inside the e-mails.

She already lost, you can now stop pretending that any of those things are acceptable things to do for a politician and not considered crimes by the federal government.
This is a slap in the face to people proving that celebrity status and last names put people above laws that are in place for EVERYONE.

*Republicans. Don't forget to mention that it was several investigations led by conservatives that turned up nothing

I wish I knew a Trump supporter that was close to me just to see their seething

Why did Republicans who hate her and her family's guts let her off each time? If this was a Democratic-led investigation then okay, but GOP letting her go?

Cause they don't care about any of those things the only thing they cared about was making her look bad. They didn't care about getting her punished they only cared about the election.
The bottom line is the things she did are considered criminal offenses under the law.
That's all there is to it.

I don't think you understand. Tens of skilled lawyers, judges, congressmen and investigators (Most of which came from the opposing party and are far more knowledgeable, as far as the law is concerned, than you are) investigated the email probe, the Benghazi case, Whitewater etc. and came up with nothing incriminating. The Benghazi investigation is one of the longest in congress history; longer than even the investigation of JFK's murder. The email probe was taken over by republicans and the FBI director is a republican. More than 200 million $ of tax money were spent on these 3 cases and they ended up with nothing incriminating. Either she's the most skilled criminal to ever walk planet earth or there simply were no crimes there. For you to brush it off as if they didn't try is intellectually dishonest and Trump wasn't the first republican to think he can incriminate a Clinton.

PS: Those devices weren't evidence when they were destroyed. The state department was avoiding having the devices end up in the wrong hands. Once again, this case was handled by a republican FBI director who breached protocol with his letter that hurt HRC's numbers. And reports show the FBI officials were largely on Trump's side.

Doesn't matter sis

I think the fact she lost to a television star is good enough karma for her. She has to live with that.
