Even though IMO it would/will be a total waste of time (nothing ever sticks to the Teflon Clintons) I voted for a full investigation.
And I agree. It's not like 69 year old Hillary Clinton, who is not in office, is a threat to Republicans but by all means investigate her for another ten years. Maybe dig up her bones later and investigate some more. If nothing of consequence is found, it will be viewed as maliciously politically motivated and Republicans will be exposed. Should Ted Cruz's father be investigated for participating in the Kennedy assassination since Trump levied the accusation? The Clintons were under investigation the entire time Bill Clinton was in office and Whitewater was a $50 million waste of taxpayer's money. Trump will likely give plenty of reasons to be investigated and the same standards should be applied to his time in office.
Trump has no legal standing to press for or to supress further investigation.
It is the duty of the DOJ, mainly via the FBI to handle the case.
It is the charge of the American public these offices do their collective duty. To grant immunity or exclusion is inexcusable especially since both the Director and the AG have longstanding personal relationships with the person(s) subject to investigation. And clearly, both do in this case.
So where have you been to think the Pres, the DOJ and the FBI are independent bodies. All acting exclusive of each other and without any political influence from within or from the outside. That was all exposed, once and for all, by the DOJ and FBI shenanigans during the email server investigation.
Next time, with Trump appointees in the AG office and the likely event he dismisses Comey from FBI head for a more favorable appointment, the combined team effort will bring Hillary down one way or other.
I for one can't wait for it all to begin. Hillary had the chance to bow out and leave us all alone. She blew it and will most certainly pay this time.
While I think it will be somewhat disruptive to the country, I think a full investigation should be done. Obviously this time with a Republican administration, and AG.
If there is still nothing to be found, the Clintons, and all of the Dem cankle kissers here can feel totally vindicated, and put the situation to rest forevermore. One might think that they would like that opportunity to prove all of us righties wrong. I mean, what have they to worry about, right?
However, if.......well suffice it to say, there could be a whole lot of other heads rolling on the left side. All the way to possible/probable treasonous activity by the POTUS himself. We the people should know.......
With the Clintons going into retirement, I might feel differently, or at least indifferently about the whole thing. But if the Clintons are going to stay in the political process by instigating, and participating in recounts, then they should remain fair game to be investigated.

That sounds like using investigations for political revenge. I'm all for an investigation and for complete vindication. Since there is still to this day references to Hillary Clinton as "cankles" that would imply a good deal of misogyny even now. But since the last Republican investigation cost $50 million dollars, will Republicans reimburse taxpayers if nothing is found? And will they publicly apologize for the accusations made?
And understand that the same kind of standards will be applied to Trump, the Trump Foundation, accusations of pay to play and personal enrichment from government spending, etc. There could be a lot of heads rolling on the right side, all the way to possible treasonous activity by the POTUS himself. We the people should know.
It seems Republicans are fearful of a recount; not sure why that would be but it seems harmless enough.

Absolutely agree. A recount is harmless. A recount that is instigated by the green party candidate isn't even offensive. A recount participated in by the candidate that has already conceded the election to her opponent, is offensive, unprecedented, underhanded, reprehensible, and downright deplorable.
I personally would like to see the "same standards" apply to whomever, of whichever party occupies the oval office. We the people should know.
It is those on the left that constantly employs a double standard, instead of the same standard when it can benefit them. While holding their opponent to a higher standard, again to benefit themselves.

What is the fear of a recount even if Hillary is there? She didn't instigate it and what is the harm? Do you really think it will overturn the election? I don't and I'm a Democrat. If it exposes nefarious activities, that would be a good thing, even if it doesn't overturn anything. If future elections have the knowledge that sometimes, there could be a recount, it could discourage outsiders from trying to influence it and that benefits both parties. I see nothing harmful in a recount that will likely result in nothing more than seeing if there was outside influence. I don't think it will change the result in the long run.
However, if investigations are used as political payback, I see a potential chain reaction that goes on for decades.

Isn't the "recount" a form of investigation, in the manner in which you, yourself, characterize what could be "exposed".......even if it doesn't overturn anything?
As I said, I think they should all be investigated, all the time. They used to be, by a free press. We now have biased, bought and paid for propaganda arms that substitute for a free press. That is the root of the problem.

Any other situation would be less cause for concern. It is Hillary and that is reason enough for some trepidation. Anything this woman is involved with is tainted forever. What does she and her gang of no gooders have in store for the recount is anyone's guess. They see a tiny opening and will without a doubt exploit it for their own gains. Hillary has nothing to lose now and is at her most dangerous.
