Trump not pursue charges against Hillary Clinton for her email scandal.
.
I have been, and I will continue to be, a committed supporter of President-elect Donald Trump; but, that said, I will not be hesitant to object when I believe he is making a mistake. Such is the case this morning following the statement by his Senior Advisor, Kellyanne Conway, that he will not pursue charges against Hillary Clinton for her email scandal.
.
If by that statement he is seeking to purchase good will and unity from those who will remain defiantly opposed to him, his Cabinet, his Judicial nominees, and his policies, he will gain nothing from his enemies but their happy contempt. But, on the other hand, if he pursues this protection of Clinton from legal accountability for her lawlessness, he will instead frustrate his supporters who will feel betrayed in the denial of "equal justice under law" to shield a crooked politician and her criminal organizations in the abuse of her office for personal gain. In my mind such betrayal and misprision of a felon is a dangerous first step for the new president.
.
In defense of his protection of Clinton from prosecution for her criminal acts it has been suggested that justice came for her on November 8th when she was denied election as President. If that is the bar of justice for her, then are we to believe that for politicians, as contrasted with all other persons subject to our laws, not being elected to political office is equivalent to being convicted and sent to prison for their crimes with no real legal accountability? May that argument never become acceptable to the American People! Let us be absolutely clear that if she is excused and protected from prosecution for acts others are sent to prison for committing, then there is a big slimy hair-ball clogging the drain system of the government swamp that blocks the new President's real efforts to "drain the swamp"!
.
The President-elect is tragically wrong if, indeed, what Kellyanne Conway said reflects the conclusion he has accepted from his Establishment advisors. It will undermine his positive perception as an "outsider" and will forever weaken the rule of law in our nation that, from this day forward in his Administration, falsely claims all Americans stand equal before the bar of justice.
.
I pray that he will be better advised to let the wheels of justice grind to a proper legal conclusion in this and any tangent cases that might be connected to it. He does not need to take an adversarial role in this or any resulting cases; and, as the true senior law enforcement officer in the land, he should truly remain detached from the process. That means that he should have absolutely no role either way, in conviction or pardoning, in this case that should be fully investigated by law enforcement and, if she or others are charged with crimes, tried by the same courts that any other citizen would be subject to--including any execution of sentence if convicted. The President-elect's proper responsibilities extend only as far as nominating the Attorney General, federal jurists to the Courts, and then stepping out of Justice's way.
.
I believe that you and I must responsibly articulate this same message to President-elect Trump, his advisors, the media, and each other at every opportunity. While, hopefully, we will remain solidly behind President Trump, he needs to know how we really feel about this potential denial of justice to both Hillary Clinton and every other American citizen that values the unique American principle of "equal justice under law"!

I read the FBI and states are still pursuing the case.

In just one interview since being elected he's gone from deporting 11 million illegal immigrants to maybe getting 2-3 million of the worst, going from a big beautiful wall to only having a fence in some areas, and going from calls to lock up Clinton to calling them "good people".

This will be interesting.

It's supposed to be up to the AG, anyway. Not the POTUS. Trump delegates.

Trump is good at delegating.

He made a lot of campaign promises. If he hopes to obtain a second term, and I have every reason to believe that he does, he is going to have to make good on, at least, a couple of them, and put forth a visible effort on a couple more.

As to the Mexican wall, it can be a fence. I would prefer something closer to the Berlin Wall, but the important thing is a Border Patrol that's allowed to actually do their job. I note that Jeff Sessions appears to have been invited into the "Inner Circle"; he seems to be pretty big on sealing the border and banishing illegals, so that's a good sign. Steve Bannon, of course, is also big on this, and he's on the right side of some other issues, too. This, also, is good.

In regard to the Clintons, I would love to see them rot under the filthiest prison in the land. But, I can understand if that's not the top-most priority, at the moment. Of course, even if it is a priority, Trump does well to shrug it off. If he acts like he doesn't care, maybe Emporer Soetoro won't pardon Queen Clinton.

I have a feeling Trump was informed on Hillary's poor health, and that is why he has decided not to pursue charges against her. Have you seen the difference in how she looks since the election? I don't think she will be around much longer.
