I have lots of issues with this.
1. First of all the AG is supposed to be independent which means the President is not supposed to go after his political enemies in the first place. Trump should not have said HE would go after Hillary (if he did) but rather that his AG would pursue any wrongdoing. It is an independent AG’s job.
2. Conway did not use the word “Trump administration” at least in the quote I saw but I see the editor of the article chose to use that phrase. So the article is misleading. The President is not supposed to control who the AG goes after ... or not.
3. Not sure why the Trump spokesperson (Conway) had to say anything about this one way or the other. Now the dems can say Trump just said all those things about Hillary to get elected and now that he has been elected he won’t follow through because there was never anything there in the first place yada yada yada. That’s not me saying it — but that’s what the dems will say and Conway just gave them the opening.
4. Conway just put a political roadblock in front of any attempt by Sessions to prosecute Hillary. Trump has not even become President yet and they can say he is already meddling in the future AG’s job.
5. So Conway is saying some people like Hillary are above the law and we are supposed to feel sorry for Hillary?
Sometimes it is just best to shut up about future prosecutions. This stinks.
No elected official should comment to the media about potential criminal charges against a political opponent.
I think her point was Trump is not pursuing filing charges. He is focused on other things right now.
She did not comment on the on going investigations of Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.
Nor should she.
