Donald Trump won’t pursue investigation into Hillary Clinton emails

Donald Trump told the New York Times yesterday the same thing George W. Bush told anyone who would listen in 2000: He could’ve won the popular vote if he’d wanted to win the popular vote.

He might; then again, he might not, but then again.

“But I do hope all the things President-elect Trump said about how crooked she was — well, we just don’t let it go without some serious effort to see if the law was truly violated”.

“I think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that a majority of Americans don’t find her to be honest or trustworthy”, she said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”.

In the same interview with reporters, editors and other newspaper officials at the Times headquarters in Manhattan, Trump showed little appetite for pressing investigations of his Democratic rival in the presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton, although he did not take the option off the table.

There’s a political brilliance to the president-elect’s apparent wishy-washiness regarding the alleged criminal behavior of his former opponent.

Online petitions with millions of signatures have urged electors to pick Clinton when they vote in December, citing her popular-vote lead. The move would also erode part of his support base.

Any suggestion as to what he might do once he’s in office-unless it comes from his own mouth-is pure speculation.

Rudy Giuliani, a former mayor of NY and a close Trump ally, said he was happy with the decision despite the fact that he was one of the fiercest proponents of prosecuting Clinton.

Sixteen years later, history was repeated when Hillary Clinton won more popular votes than Donald Trump.

– Spoke positively not only of fellow Republicans in Congress – “Right now they are in love with me” – but also of President Barack Obama, who he said is “looking to do absolutely the right thing for the country in terms of transition”. “It’s just not something that I feel very strongly about”.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham – who opposed Trump’s run for the White House – expressed misgivings at Trump’s latest stance.

Laurence Tribe, a professor of constitutional law at Harvard Law School, told FactCheck.org that, in theory, if enough electors that were pledged to Trump decline to make him president-elect and vote instead for Clinton, she would become the president-elect. You’d stay in NY and you’d stay in California.
