“I have no ntention of pursuing another American who may have comitted a crime”

Okay, if you say so. But what you’ve put in quotation marks here as a statement made by Trump is one I’ve not seen quoted anywhere else. Where did you see or hear it?
The statement was a paraphrase and in quotes only to show that in the context of the sentence it was a third-party statement.
If you want to hang your hat on the semantic intricacies of Trump's, and his surrogates', statements, fine.
I don't think anyone will deny that Trump's message is that he won't be pursuing Hillary.
