UPDATE, 2:00pm ET: In a meeting with New York Times reporters, President-elect Donald Trump said he would not take the investigations of the Clintons off the table.

Two reporters tweeted from inside the meeting, as Trump also expressed the view that Clinton "suffered greatly" and that it would be "very, very divisive for the country" to prosecute the Clintons.

I am praying that Trump keeps his campaign promise to investigate AND prosecute the Clintons. Hillary lied to Congress and if Trump is really concerned about the People, he would show us that noone is above the law.

Trump played the media even when he had that reality show-he does it all the time, so I can’t see freaking out over s*** like this-after the way Obama used the just-us dept as a political steamroller, Trump isn’t going to go the same way-he can have clean hands and a new justice dept that smells of bleach and has no Lorettas secretly meeting Clintons on planes, etc-let them investigate and prosecute...

I keep remembering a line from history-”Will no one rid me of this priest”-only this time it is Hillary, not Becket to be gotten rid of, figuratively spesking...

I was hoping Kellyanne Conway made an ill advised statement. Either way Trump needs to clear this up.

He will not use his office to interfere in the investigation (to take them off the table), which is as it should be. Law enforcement should be allowed to do their jobs. But his personal opinion is that it would be hurtful for the Clintons and divisive for the country.

I think yours is the clearest summation of what we're seeing here. Excellent analysis.

Trump is intentionally keeping people guessing here. By making statements about the Clintons `suffering greatly`, etc. he`s making the point that he has no desire to pursue this out of personal vindictiveness.

Another point to make is that it could be possible to show leniency and still pursue prosecution. Trump can always show leniency, if he`s inclined, after the fact, by commuting or lessening the sentence. This would still allow the crimes to be revealed to the public and would still ensure the Clinton`s reputation would be ruined.

Personally I dont care at this point— just glad the Clintoons are gone from DC. One thing though if it is true that the Clintoons are in kimchee with the pedophilia ring hubbub then prosecute to the hilt.

Calls into talk radio want her prosecuted for her crimes. No one is above the law; no one! Not going after her makes a mockery of our judicial system.

All 3 Clintons need to be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. No one is above the law, and no one is too big to jail.

I wonder how long its gonna take for the media to get tired of being outwitted and jerked around by Donald Trump?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 conflicting reports in less that 8 hours. This further obfuscates his authentic position in Cankles eyes, increasing the frustration that is about to engulf and incinerate the Cankle Glo-BUL Initiative.

Trump is classic. He’s playing all of these so-called media people. He’s using them to float his own balloons to smoke out his opposition and set the playing field.

Either that or he's making Kellyanne Conway look like an idiot.

If I were to guess, I'd say that this isn't Trump floating trial balloons, this is the MSM messing with Trump.

It could be that some reporter took a vague comment a,pumped it up and put the story out there to box Trump in so that he either looks like he's breaking a campaign promise, or his team is in disarray and can't get their stories straight.

It's all about trying to split Trump from his base before he takes office.

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

Still the MSM messing with Trump?

Stuff is bubbling up form the Rogue Runneer bribe investigation into Harry Reid which will link to Craig Varoga/Patriot Majority PAC voter fraud in Indiana and to John Podesta alt energy fraud.

In short, there will be a bonfire once Sessions gets in. I imagine Hillary will be consumed in the flames too.

I urge you to TWEET DJT and tell him to appoint a special unbiased special prosecutor for both the emails and the bribery paid to Clinton foundation. Tweet DJT I did.

I can’t feel sorry for the Clintons. Broderick, Jones Willey
all were ruined by the Clintons. Arkancide is the over 100 strange homocides of people who were on the Clintons bad side and enemies list.

Jail is also for the rich and connected who break the law or we are no better than corrupt Mexico

This infuriates me what these two ladies are suggesting. Apparently JUDICIAL WATCH is on the warpath also as they should be. If she is not investigated and then brought to justice future Americans will suffer as looting, pillaging and doing 360 degree treason is henceforth green lighted by government officials!!!
They must address!!!!!!

And MSM media is doing it’s best to conflate the two and confuse Trump supporters in hopes of peeling off some of his base.
