It was one of tRump's biggest campaign promises. He even made it part of one of the televised debates. His surrogates (like that jerk Flynn) even led the chants at rallies.
So, how 'bout it, Donny? Launch another investigation, whydontcha. Come up with some charges. Hold a trial. You know it's what your base wants.
Besides...
Maybe it could provide a very convenient distraction from "other" issues.

So we have yet to get a real response from a conservative in here....
Trump promised to "lock her up," it was one of his biggest campaign slogans. Tens of thousands of people chanted "lock her up!" at Trump rallies.
And yet just 24 hours after winning the election, Trump stated that he would not pursue any action against Hillary. Nothing.
Conservatives....thoughts? Do you feel Trump flat out lied to his supporters who he told them he would have her investigated? If he didn't lie, what was it then?
He's pretty much got his own lock 'em ups to worry about.
Intelligence agencies of our allies Europe reported meetings in European cities between Trump campaign reps/associates and Russians to our intelligence agency. They keep a pretty close eye on Russian operatives in Europe. This is going to be a long investigation.
Information about Trump was being passed from the CIA to the Europeans.
"At intelligence agencies, there was a push to process as much raw intelligence as possible into analyses, and to keep the reports at a relatively low classification level to ensure as wide a readership as possible across the government — and, in some cases, among European allies."
It's not really that surprising that he backed off on this one. If he had vigorously pursued investigating her, he'd have looked mean and petty right at the point where a new president is trying to make it clear that they're president of all people with all political viewpoints. Honestly, would Democrats have preferred it if he had gone after her? If Hillary was facing 5-15 years, just to throw out a number, would that be a good thing?
She's corrupt. She reeks of corporate elitism and hidden agendas. All that is the biggest reason she lost. Mission accomplished. Move on.
PS: The really astounding thing to me is that Hillary was so completely awful that she actually lost to Donald Trump. How can you lose to this ridiculous clown? But she did. She lost. How bad do you have to be to lose to Trump?

Look...
For 25 years Pubs have been bellyaching endlessly about all these "crimes" they spew at Hillary. They've spent untold millions of taxpayer dollars hounding her with investigations and congressional inquiries. Millions of voters who sent the GOP on to their "historic victory" want to see them carry out their fake president's campaign promise to LOCK HER UP! and those voters are eager to see some results.
The GOP now owns the federal government. And this has been one of their dearest dreams for decades.
What are they afraid of? Being exposed as juvenile name-callers and cowardly hypocrites?
So, now Pence is under the scope for his email failings.
And, like Hillary, he's stonewalling and dismissing the whole thing as no big deal.
Let's see if it becomes one. With tRump feeling the heat for his Russian escapade, if Pence is under suspicion, that means Paul Ryan had better be honing his skills.

That's exactly why I didn't vote for her but I didn't vote for Trump either. I hope the ignorant masses that put him in a position to win will wake up someday and see what a YUGE mistake they made.
