A big ole green light to Obama and company to do the same as Hillary and Bill!

Let’s hope it’s a trial balloon suggested by Romney, and someone concerned about activities of future US government officials will carry the day.

No way. One, Obama isn't going to be Secretary of State, accepting de facto bribes form foreign governments. The Clintons are in a class by themselves when it comes to that type of stuff.

Folks, Trump is a shrewd s.o.b. Anyone who thinks this is genuinely good news for HRC is naive. What Trump has done is make it harder for HRC to plead with Obama for a pardon, because Obama can now argue there's no need for one. However, the reality is that there is still an FBI investigation that is chugging along quietly. I don't believe for a second that Trump is going to interfere with that. Why should he? If there is really something to find there, and the FBI announces such in, say, two years, no one is going to blame Trump if it comes out and he has said nothing about HRC all along. By saying nice things about HRC now, Trump is innoculating himself from claims later that he was behind anything the FBI releases down the road. Trump can later claim, “Look, I'm the President, but I can't order the FBI to stop investigations they started before I was in office just because I feel sorry for the person they are investigating!”
