Is this the meeting that Trump cancelled earlier today?

I haven’t seen him renege on anything yet.

Do you remember during one of the debates when Trump promised to direct his Attorney General to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton?

I have an open mind on Trumps’s open mind comment. Let’s see what happens in a couple of months and deal with it then.

“A lot of ‘ stories’ from the nytimes turned out to be false”

Think that matters to the idiots here that gladly believe everything the Times prints?

I’m still waiting for that moment where these guys stop utilizing leftist media for news instead of shooting off their mouths.

Uh...Trump doesn’t have to do anything personally. The investigations are already ongoing and a new AG will be in charge. Again, he can distance himself from the actual scrap but still restore the rule of law.

It would appear ‘investigations’ are at an end.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-idUSKBN13H1DZ?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=Social

“U.S. Representative Jason Chaffetz, Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has said he will continue investigating Clinton’s use of a private server.

But Conway indicated Trump would frown on that.

“When the president-elect, who’s also the head of your party now, tells you before he’s even inaugurated he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message - tone and content - to the members,” Conway said on MSNBC. “

ANY “climate agreement” is pure redistribution Marxism and MUST be rejected in its entirety.

Just as long as it doesn’t become a pet cause of Ivanka’s.

"I have an open mind" is the correct answer - particularly since he is only President-Elect at this time, and has no real power.
But I understand why we are all cringing. Too many years of politicians saying one thing, and then doing something else. The GOPe made a career playing this game.
Hopefully the President-Elect is just playing 'nice' until he actually takes office.

Bill MitchellVerified account ‏@mitchellvii So two months into the Trump Admin, the FBI and Sessions announce a Hillary grand jury.
Trump: "Hey, I don't tell those guys what to do..."

Bill MitchellVerified account ‏@mitchellvii Obama's manipulation of the FBI and AG was part of the swamp we wanted drained. Backing away personally, Trump is fulfilling that promise.

Bill MitchellVerified account ‏@mitchellvii You may be upset Trump has signaled he will not "persecute Hillary," but you will see in short the this was brilliant strategic positioning.

In a meeting with New York Times journalists at the newspaper’s Manhattan headquarters

Yeah. I'm gonna go with BS until I have reason not too. It's the NYT. They lie to keep from telling the truth.

At this point, The Donald should have a firm position - and state it in no uncertain terms.

He’s going to soft-peddle until the electoral votes are actually cast in December, and he’s sworn in next January. I don’t blame him. Walk softly, because you know half the country is still trying to figure out ways to “undo this.”

Panicked Freepers need to relax about this and all the the other “Trump moderates his tone, position” stories. Trump is a master negotiator. You don’t start any negotiation by yelling to your opponent that he won’t get a damn thing he wants and you will get everything you want Ha Ha Ha.
Campaigning is different. You lay out your hard core goals and beliefs to attract voters who are mostly already on your side. The big difference we are about to see is that instead of establishment Republicans campaigning with hardcore conservative messages and then folding when they get to DC is that Trump is going to win for our side when everyone sits down to the table.

"Not when the Supreme Court has already acted."

Previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified not only that powers not expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds are prohibited to the feds, but that neither can the feds use their power to negotiate treaties as a backdoor to unconstitutionally expand the feds powers.
