It is not Trump's job as POTUS to pursue a case against Clinton.
That job goes to those he appoints.
For Trump to tell the DOJ and the FBI not to follow the letter of the law is the same kinda Obamanation fascist crap we've had for eight years.
Shillary belongs in jail.
Ahem! After a fair trial, of course.

I agree. There could be some horse trading in the next 2 months that might see the Dems toss Hitlery to the conservatives in exchange for more substantial issues and I would hate to see that happen. If Donnie is a good trader and is really dedicated to a more free America that shouldn't happen.

Here's what I hope this actually is: a facade. If he can fake Hillary and Obama for another two months until he takes office and Obama hasn't pardoned her, she has no legal shield.

If Trump really is going to back off and not prosecute her, it sends a very controversial message about his appointment of Sessions as head of Justice Department.

If I was in Trump's position i would see that Obama could pardon Hitlery, so softening the position now makes a lot of sense. If Obama doesn't pardon her, the option for FBI and Just-us to pursue is still there.
I only had to deal with secret restirctions when I was in college on a part time job, but I understand the responsibility. Hitlery doesn't let any such minor thing interfere with her traitorous goals. Every minute she enjoys freedom is an insult to Americans who are responsible for their actions.

In at least one earlier interview he hinted at a lessening of his fervor for the jailing of Hillary. It may be that political realities are starting to dawn on him. To continue the "jail Hillary" move is to detract attention and effort away from the truly important portions of his agenda (Tax reform, supreme court nominees, infrastructure etc.) which can be ill afforded. The Democrats have already indicated they will fight him on almost everything he proposed and the Senate Majority Leader doesn't seem inclined to suspend the filibuster rule to get things don or to use reconciliation to throw out Obamacare.
Adding the distraction of a Hillary investigation would play into the hands of the opposition, Dem and Rep.
Don't get me wrong, I want that B in jail so bad that I can taste it. I spent almost 30 years with Secret and Top Secret clearances and lived with the restrictions on my life and my families life. I understood the penalties for violating the security rules and standards. To see someone so blatantly violate the rules and endanger peoples lives and the security of this country and get away with it is sickening, but there are time you bite the bullet and let it slide for the greater good. Se is now living with the result of her own stupidity and will have to live with it the remainder of her life. May it be long and torturous.
