Trump Not Interested in Further Clinton Probe
Donald Trump’s incoming administration will not further investigate former secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s private email server scheme nor her family’s charitable foundation, MSNBC’s Morning Joe reported Tuesday. If our nation is the land of the fearless, its people can accept the results of an election, right?
[.] On climate change, he refused to repeat his promise to abandon the global climate accord reached previous year in Paris, saying that, “I’m looking at it very closely”.
But on Tuesday, he said he would “keep an open mind” about pulling the United States out of the landmark, multi-national Paris Agreement on climate change – he’d said in the campaign he would yank the US out – and he allowed, “I think there is some connectivity” between human activity and climate changes.
Trump also repeatedly criticized The New York Times during the campaign, and he abruptly canceled a meeting with the Times on Tuesday.
If Trump were now merely backing off his call for a special prosecutor, that would – in some ways – reflect a return to normalcy.
Trump met privately Monday with representatives of the television networks.
Hillary Clinton, the number looks intoxicating: 172 electors in states where the popular vote went for Donald Trump – some by slim margins – who apparently aren’t legally bound to vote for the GOP presidential nominee when the Electoral College meets December 19.
But the strongest signal came out Tuesday morning when Trump’s former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Trump would not pursue charges.
Politico reports that there are at least half a dozen Democratic electors in Washington and Colorado who want to try to prevent Donald Trump from winning and undermine the legitimacy of the Electoral College.
“I think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that a majority of Americans don’t find her honest or trustworthy”, Conway said.
Add this to the list of stunning upsets in this year’s election: President-elect Donald Trump, who ran a campaign fixated on an anti-immigrant platform, captured more of the Latino vote than Mitt Romney did in 2012. House oversight committee said, well before the election that the probe would continue, so it is not very wise for Mr. Trump to suggest how he prefers the outcome of the investigation. “It is in my view the moral responsibility of responsible people to pull back their dogs before they all get unleashed”. He said he would take into account the Justice Department’s decision to not recommend charges against her. If there is an outcry, okay – he can reverse field and say that he’ll go forward with an investigation because the people, who are exhausted of seeing the elites escape responsibility for their actions, demand it.
Mr Trump told her face-to-face at a presidential debate that if he won the election, she would “be in jail”.
