Laura, a few days ago, said Americans were ready to “move on” and didn’t really want Trump to persecute Hillary.

I said, what??

Laura would be good, so would Kristina Pierson, she’s done a great job as campaign spokesperson. I’d like to see Ann Coulter as white house spokesperson...would that be a hoot?

Yes, sadly, that seems to be the consensus opinion everywhere. It appears that Trump would be prosecuting his opponent and needs to heal the country, etc.

However, National Review (I think it was McCarthy) wrote an article last week that really looked at this issue in detail - not just Hillary, but others, such as Lynch, the IRS guy and others. The article raised the possibility of entangling Obama. It presented pros and cons, but in the end concluded, that for justice to be fair and fairly executed so there is no double standard, that it was important to appoint special prosecutors and allow the investigations to lead to wherever it goes.

There was a separate article a few days before that speculating on whether Obama would pardon Hillary. The writer seemed to suggest that Obama would want to do it, but ultimately will not since he does not want his legacy tarnished in that way.
