“Patience. He’s not even President yet”
He went rogue today on the Clintons and the Paris agreement and he did behind the backs of people that put him where he is!
What is your source for writing that Trump ignored the advice of his close advisors on the climate deal and prosecuting Clinton?
He said (through his surrogate) that "his administration" won't prosecute. The AG is part of his administration.
I find it particularly distressing that he chose to break this news via surrogates rather than being the first to announce this himself. He knows that "draining the swamp" was a huge part of his campaign, and to reverse himself and not have the guts to do it himself directly is very cowardly.
“Trump just rolled over for the MSM/NY Times on prosecuting the Clintons and on he Paris Climate agreement!!”
I love watching you guys explode and meltdown.
Buddy, last week you same people SWORE he wasn’t going to do the border fence or get rid of Obamacare.
You just move from one silly display of emotion to another.
All of this stuff is going to be done. Right now he has to assemble his government and try to settle the post-election situation down.
So take a chill pill and stop with the drama queen antics.
He is a liberal.
If people were expecting an ideological conservative, they were bound to be disappointed.
I wasn’t expecting Trump to keep his promises.
Once in office, they find a way to weasel out of them.
Tweet from the NYT meeting:
Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT 1 hour ago
Trump says "no" when asked if he is taking investigations off the table for Clintons but adds he doesn't want to "hurt the Clintons."
So investigations aren't off the table completely, but he's not going to "lock her up."
Remember there are already other investigations into the Clinton Foundation, so perhaps those need to run their course.
“What is your source for writing that Trump ignored the advice of his close advisors on the climate deal and prosecuting Clinton?”
Some MSM outlet. Where else?
The only people going rouge are the ones that swore they would stop watching MSM networks, only to breathlessly lap up everything they feed them.
Anybody choosing Jeff Sessions and "Mad Dog" Mattis for his cabinet is NO liberal.
he also said in interview that he isn’t stopping investigations...I would wait until he is inaugurated to get upset with him....
Presidents dont lock people up.
We have a system of due process for a reason. Even for Hillary.
I haven't seen any such interview with him that occurred after he dropped this bombshell (via a surrogate) this morning. Where's the video of said interview?
The link at the top of this page.
Trump should just come out and say, we won’t be going after anyone but if a law is broke we are a country governed by the rule of law and the law will deal with everyone equally. Over!
NY times interview that was live blogged.
exactly! see my point above
If he wanted to pursue the matter, he would be calling for Congress to authorize a special prosecutor to look into the matter, and spend 5 years "Ken Starr-ing" Hillary.
He thinks that doing so would be detrimental in the long run for the country, and frankly, I might be leaning that way myself.
“He is a liberal”
Yeah, ok.
Maybe you can tell that to the leftists because they say he’s a right wing white supremacist.
Seriously what a stupid post.
The guy hasn’t been sworn in yet an FRs crew of pearl clutchers are, as expected, doing exactly what I expected.
“I love watching you guys explode and meltdown.”
Get used to it!! The man isn’t even President yet and he has already walked back 2 huge issues he raised campaign money on.
Just read his words...”they are really good people”...”the foundation does good work”...”they have suffered enough”
BTW...Rudy didn’t know about the statements either!
