I hope Trump is just keeping his powder dry until Obama leaves office, so Obama will no longer be able to pardon her. And then give the green light to continue the investigation into the Clinton Global Initiative, and toss those fools in prison.

We need to drain the swamp and start the process of cleansing the poison from our nations corrupt politics, starting with the Clintons.

People, we have insurance policies that cost so much a month that people can't afford to insure themselves and we're worried about this. They are investigating her and what will be will be. It's time to focus on things like doing something about the monster called Obamacare and doing things that will encourage business growth i.e.... hiring people.

My god!

You have to prove they are.

The nation's interests always come first, or should always come first, as far as the leader of the nation is concerned. When that leader starts rationalizing that his personal financial interests coincide with the nation's interests, when that leader starts to mix the two, when that leader can't tell where his personal financial interests end and the nation's interests begin, it's a political disaster, and an ethical quagmire. Our previous Presidents have recognized this, and taken steps to prevent any confusion between their personal financial interests and the nation's interests. Trump is beginning to sound like he doesn't care.
Maybe he won't. Until shows where that is actually the case, you are just ranting.

Apparently, you don't understand lawyers who enjoy tying people up in court for misunderstandings on behalf of their client. These people are only claiming they could not find work......not sure how or why this would be Mr. Trump's fault. This happened during the housing fall, what are we missing?


Some have said, paying the money out was much easier than Mr. Trump being tied up in court. Mr. Trump should use his time getting rid of President Obama's screw-ups and Making America Great Again.

Seems many people have a hard time seeing Mr. Trump did a business deal involving himself, Hillary did deals involving America and Americans. None of Trump's deals involved foreign money being exchanged for access to America!


From the poster's article; Washington Post showing that Trump used foundation money to settle legal disputes for his companies and to buy a portrait of himself. The Post reported earlier on Tuesday about the new IRS filing.


Wonder why this below sounds so much worse? We could only wish Hillary's smallest offense was buying portrait of herself.
The Clintons have for decades put their own needs first (auctioning off the Lincoln bedroom


Hillary appointed an Accountability Review Board that would not question her about her accountability for the Benghazi, Libya, scandal. Clinton fixer Cheryl Mills stacked the deck against congressional investigators by instructing Benghazi witnesses not to talk to them.

The Clintons stacked the speaking-fee/foundation machine to get loads of money for themselves


Then there is the uranium deal Bill Clinton got hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees, the foundation (which paid employees’ salaries and lavish travel) got millions, and this country got taken to the cleaners when Russia was allowed to buy one-fifth of the uranium production capacity in the United States- which it can now provide to Iran to construct its nuclear weapons program.

Hillary should be fined heavily, forced to repay her own foundation (used for paying for Chelsea's wedding, etc), and face a lifelong ban from being a politician for lying under oath and putting our national security at risk. I think it would be in poor taste to throw her in jail, despite the fact that I think she absolutely deserves it.

He didn't say Jeff Sessions won't go after her. But, you Snowflakes will call him a liar, anyway.

Remember, Steve Bannon is Trumps personal adviser. Steve Bannon.
Never tell your enemy your plans, remember. I distinctly remember Trump saying he would tell ISIS one thing and do the opposite. He was adamant about the frustration with Obama telling "the enemy" our plans... Remember.


Let me ask everyone... Including Obama and Clinton. Have you ever been played?
He said...repeatedly...that he was going to appoint a special prosecutor. So either he lied, or didn't know what a president could do, or he's totally flipped his position. Which is it?

So, at this point it just doesn't matter any more.
No. The biggest political looser in history would be a Republican -- Barry Goldwater...who lost both the electoral college and the popular vote by landslides.

I think this is another example that Trump is a pragmatist and not an ideologue, just as Obama explained recently at a press conference after his meeting with the President-elect. That fact should give the Proggies comfort.
The interesting thing about this situation is not so much Trump's actions toward Hillary, but the outrage from certain Trump supporters who heard him contradict himself over and over, about almost everything, yet are now shocked that he has done it again. I had a conversation with a friend yesterday. She expressed her dismay that Trump was not going to proceed with his promised actions against Hillary. I pointed out the man's inconsistencies during the campaign, and asked her if she was really surprised. Being a reasonable person, she admitted she was not.

As for this "Proggie," the idea of the Clintons being investigated was never the problem. The thing that bothered me was the "lock her up" refrain that seemed to indicate a guilty verdict without benefit of a trial.

Going after Hillary will likely not improve relations with the democrats and her followers. There's no more gain for going after her now that the elections are over with.

It would've better had Comey file official indictment last year before the primaries. This whole email scandal dragged on so long.

My last prediction is that Comey will be asked to stay by Trump. His Judas has served him well.
Since we're all guessing, here's my two guesses:

1. It's not up to Trump, it's up to his AG. After the Inaugeration I hope to see him say that all information has been handed over to his new AG and that the executive branch will absolutely stay out of the way to allow the DOJ to independently make a determination on the case.

2. He's keeping his cards close to the chest until January. Putting it out there that the Clinton investigation will continue will motivate Obama to issue a pardon before he leaves office.

I'm pretty sure windfarms in Scotland have little to do with our nation's interests. That Trump would use the office of the President of the United States to advance his own personal interests is problematic.

And I'm in no way ranting.
