President-elect Donald Trump will not pursue investigations of Hillary Clinton regarding her email server scandal and the Clinton Foundation when his administration begins, Morning Joe reported on Tuesday.
A source with direct knowledge of Donald Trumps thinking tells Morning Joe that in his administration, the president-elect will not pursue any investigations into Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server and the Clinton Foundation, co-host Mika Brzezinski said to open the broadcast. The source tells Morning Joe that Trump feels Clinton has, quote, been through enough.

Arkansas is very interested. They have no love for Hillary.
Congress does not need the President’s authorization to pursue Clinton . . . this way Trump can stay above the fray until such time as he needs to.
Joe is just looking for trolls. There is toooooo much crime for the FBI and Sessions’ DOJ to walk away from.
Trump will not pursue it - it would be unseemly. That said, he won’t get in the way of his FBI/DOJ if they decide to follow the trails of ongoing/new investigations.....
Correct. Do not tip off the perps that the arrests are coming.
I think he may be trolling Obama into not giving her a pardon.
This trial balloon is being dropped all over the internet and is not going over well with Trump supporters. So yes, my guess is that Trump is being pressured to not go after her.
It is a very bad move on Trump's part if he leaves the illegal things the dems have done during the Obama administration unprosecuted. This is what Bush did and the illegal activity of the dems has just grown to proportions that are truly treasonous. If Trump lets this and these organizations stand then we lose the US once they are back in power.
I disagree that the Clintons are done. They will not get off the world stage and I still maintain that unless Hillary has a serious medical problem, it is not out of the question that she will run again to fulfill her destiny. She will be 73 in 2020 and Trump will be 74. Hillary got the third highest vote total in US history and will win the popular vote by almost 2 million votes. Unless we put a stake thru their hearts, the Clintons will return.
There has been an ongoing investigation of the Clinton Foundation for over a year. We don't know what has been found already by the FBI. How does the WH under Trump stop an ongoing investigation? Isn't that unconstitutional for a President to put his thumb on the scale? Will Sessions go along with this?
Giving the Clintons a pass is not a distraction, it is a capitulation. Hopefully, Trump is putting this out to prevent an Obama pardon. Trump has admitted to having two telephone conversations with Obama since they met at the WH. They may have struck some sort of deal on a Clinton pardon.
Hes given signs hes not interested in prosecuting them ever since election night, but most Freepers havent been listening.
Is it his determination? Trump campaigned against such interference and talked about a rigged system. Allowing the Clintons to walk away with hundreds of millions of dollars and obstructing justice is not the way to start off an administration. If true, this will be a major disappointment and hurt Trump among supporters like me. The Rule of Law is not a distraction.
I am going to write and state that I want Clinton investigated and prosecuted if necessary.
Trump has set up a webpage where you can contact them directly.
He promised us a library or something like that in the W.H. that would be fully staffed to hear from citizens.

I submitted a suggestion and got this reply..
Thank You
Thank you for taking the time to share your idea. We are a government of, for, and by the people, and it is your voice and the voices of millions of Americans that will help make our country great again.
There was once a rumor about the Terrorist in Chief having an offshore bank account but that was hushed up quickly.
When he came into office, it was claimed he owned the Chicago house but his name was never specifically listed. The deed showed it in a trust along with a lawyer. The guest house was owned by a woman professor. It's crazy to not have the guest house owned by the homeowner so, imo, Zero was living there free through a group of supporters so there's a reason he hasn't been back. Moo and the girls have been back once, iirc.
It's said the grifters "own" 3 other homes and are "leasing" a fourth. That's a boatload if money that did not come from his POTUS salary. Either they're getting kickbacks and/or the homes are gifts or owned by various trusts.
About the DC house theyre leasing two doors down from Tony Podesta. The house is owned by NFL executive vice president of communications Joe Lockhart and his wife Giovanna Gray Lockhart, who is the Washington editor of Glamour. - http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/25/the-swanky-d-c-mansion-where-the-obamas-are-living-next/#ixzz4QeWfjK6W .
Joe isnt just a NFL VP (hired January 2016), he was Bills press secretary from 1998-2000. http://www.weeklystandard.com/nfl-hires-bill-clinton-press-secretary-joe-lockhart/article/2000648 . His wiki - He worked as press secretary for several Democratic politicians, including Walter Mondale, Paul Simon, and Michael Dukakis; he was an advisor to John Kerry during his 2004 presidential campaign. He subsequently founded and became managing director of the communications consulting firm Glover Park Group, a position he held until June 2011, when Facebook recruited him to become its company spokesman. AND hes the one who started all the bs about Ws National Guard mess.
His wife, Giovanna Gray Lockahart's resume includes more than just Glamour Magazine, she also worked for Howard Dean and was a NY Senators senior aide. They bought the house in 2015 (https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/2446-Belmont-Rd-NW-20008/home/9997112) and it was previously sold in 2013 so lots of turnovers. They have a little daughter now so is it any wonder theyre getting away from their neighbor. BTW, Justice Elena Kagan officiated their nonreligious wedding ceremony http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/29/fashion/weddings/when-the-timing-is-right.html
Forgot to include in my previos post a tidbit about their interior decorator, Michael S. Smith whos decorating their homes in CA and DC. His wiki - In 2008, Barack and Michelle Obama appointed Smith to redecorate the residential quarters of the White House.[15] During this project, Smith worked with Michelle Obama and White House curator William Allman to select art on-loan from museums to be displayed in private quarters and elsewhere.[3] In February 2010, President Obama appointed him a member of the Committee for the Preservation of the White House.[16] Smiths makeover of the Oval Office was revealed to the public in late August 2010. http://pagesix.com/2016/11/20/the-obamas-are-going-bicoastal/
How much is the on loan art costing taxpayers? As if they couldnt find something in the WH warehouse to hang on the walls. How much is the taxpayer on the hook for or are the grifters getting the other houses decorated for free as pay to play (al la Hellary) for an ambassadorship for Smith’s honey bunch?
Smiths life partner is James Costos, a vegetarian, who Obama appointed as ambassador to Spain and Andorra. It just so happens Spanish owned software company was/is tallies the votes for Texas.
Mmmmm....that is interesting.
And Morning Joe was RIGHT when they said Trump's comment about John McCain would end his run for office.
And RIGHT again when he said Trump didn't have a path to victory...
So why wouldn't we trust Joe now?
You are so on target. Thank you. Yes, he must appoint a strong AG and a very strong head of FBI.
Hil-liar-y is pulling a fast one. She is either dead or on the way and her minions (this sounds like a Podesta/Mill collusion to me) have taken over. We do need to see a “real” Hil-iar-y and not a doppleganger! I really want to see her talking and see that wen on her R upper lip above the vermilion line moving.
Because Kellyanne Conway was on Morning Joe and confirmed it?
Take a gander at Lockhart’s Glover Park Group. It’s all you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. Democrat circles within Democrat circles within Democrat circles. You know the government doesn’t send out for bids so who knows how much the taxpayers are being charged.

Of course it won’t. The Administration does not comment and should not be seen to be interfering with an FBI/DOJ investigation.
The incoming administration did comment and under them there will be no FBI/DOJ investigation.
Also, Trump's not known for telegraphing future plans. And besides - the FBI hasn't finished their investigation into the emails OR the Clinton Foundation. Yes, she said it... it felt she was pushed into an answer and her body language said she was hedging.
