He can do that while at the same time teaching something about "separation of powers" - remain out of his appointee's charter RE his oath, as well as Congress' role however they see it, truly without having to interfere. Something his predecessor clearly could not do, right since the day of "Clearly, the Cambridge police acted stupidly."

So when was the last time a new sitting president prosecuted the out going presidents cabinet or an opponent for the presidency?

As much as we want this, it was never going to happen just on precedence alone.

My guess would be a phone call to Hillary that said: "Take your Clinton foundation money and go somewhere and have fun. If you raise your head out of your foxhole over the next 4 years I'll chop it off!"

^^^^^Probably. But, to me, the point is he said he would. He wasn't even ambiguous about it. Now that he is POTUSe, he says no. What else did he promise that he now is thinking better of? Rhetorical question as I said he would do this all along. Lots more to come I'm sure.

They all make grand promises on during the runup and then pull it way back once they are their. No surprise.

But Trump better watch for votes in the trunks of cars during Jill Steins recounts of WI, PA and MI......he could end up losing to Hillary like Norm Colman lost to Al Franken.

The thing that terrifies me is to think that the Clintons could walk. There is so much and so many incredibly influential and powerful people involved that all this will do is embolden them going forward. Napoleon said, "The greatest danger lies at the moment of victory."

Divisions or not, missing this opportunity for Justice to be served will be kicking the grenade down the road. Once emboldened nothing will stop them and that entire Cabal. The e-mails, the frauds, the entire #Pizzagate thing sizzling away just out of sight behind the curtain, they would really just let that go?

People in the establishment involved in any of that need to be thrown into jail for life. Anything short of that and DJT will be nothing but the smallest of speed-bumps in the paths of the puppeteers and four years goes by quite quickly.

He could be setting him self up as presidential with this. Now if a president demanded an investigation that would not look good. If he sits back and watches as his new AG and the FBI decide to do their jobs than he is seen as presidential and is clear of influencing the DOJ. He should not be interfering with e DOJ like Obummer has. Trump is sly as a fox and bet this may happen.

Yup, such optics would easily be out-Jarretting Jarrett and, regardless, amount to "doing the right thing." It lets an Exec sit back & employ one of the Dem's favorite tactics, to wit: "Can't comment on an ongoing investigation; we have to let that run its course. You may want to direct your question to (fill-in-Alphabet)."

What will be the excuse when he doesn't build the wall? Or pull out of the Paris accords? He is already changing his tune on most of those to something else (Maybe a fence or drones where needed; deporting criminal illegals)

I, for one, am going to wait until he actually IS president and is executing his policies. Until then, everything I read or hear is utter BS or conjecture.

X2. Right now the news reminds me of the polling numbers before November 8.......fake news.

The reports below might increase blood pressure - but continually shedding light on the apparent double standard which is in play is one of the few civil paths out of this swampy mess...

...the second story is from 2016 but is important to illustrate the pattern...cover for Hillary and no-holds-barred from going after Trump or associates with a vengeance. This movie is being played over and over and over and over...if Manafort is dirty so be it prosecute but come on...Klinton folks always get to skate?

Robert Mueller offers Tony Podesta immunity to testify against Paul Manafort: Report

Tony Podesta, founder of the now-shuttered Podesta Group and brother to former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, has been offered immunity by special counsel Robert Mueller to testify against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, according to a report.

Fox News' Tucker Carlson announced on his show Thursday evening that two separate sources confirmed the offer.

"In other words, for a near identical crime, Bill and Hillary's friend could escape and emerge completely unscathed while Paul Manafort may rot in jail. Only one of them made the mistake of chairing Donald Trump's presidential campaign," Carlson said.

Let the simple phrase below sink in.

“...any other person engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted.”

In his recent piece below VDH briefly reflects on the Klinton crime family.

Clinton Projection Syndrome
By Victor Davis Hanson| May 1st, 2019
American Greatness


Hillary Clinton recently editorialized about the second volume of special counsel Robert Mueller’s massive report. She concluded of the report’s assorted testimonies and inside White House gossip concerning President Trump’s words and actions that “any other person engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted.”

Psychologists might call her claims “projection.” That is the well-known psychological malady of attributing bad behavior to others as a means of exonerating one’s own similar, if not often even worse, sins.

After 22 months of investigation and $34 million spent, the Mueller report concluded that there was no Trump-Russia collusion—the main focus of the investigation—even though that unfounded allegation dominated print and televised media’s speculative headlines for the last two years.

While Mueller’s report addressed various allegations of Trump’s other roguery, the special counsel did not recommend that the president be indicted for obstruction of justice in what Mueller had just concluded was not a crime of collusion.

What Mueller strangely did do—and what most federal prosecutors do not do—was cite all the allegedly questionable behavior of a target who has just been de facto exonerated by not being indicted.

What Mueller did not do was explain that much of the evidence he found useful was clearly a product of unethical and illegal behavior. In the case of the false charge of “collusion,” the irony was rich.

Russians likely fed salacious but untrue allegations about Trump to ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who was being paid in part by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to find dirt on Trump.

The Russians rightly assumed that Steele would lap up their fantasies, seed them among Trump-hating officials in the Barack Obama administration and thereby cause hysteria during the election, the transition and, eventually, the Trump presidency.

Russia succeeded in sowing such chaos, thanks ultimately to Clinton, who likely had broken federal laws by using a British national and, by extension, Russian sources to warp an election. Without the fallacious Steele dossier, the entire Russian collusion hoax never would have taken off.

Without Steele’s skullduggery, there likely would have been no Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court-approved surveillance of Trump aide Carter Page. There might have been no FBI plants inserted into the Trump campaign. There might have been no subsequent leaking to the press of classified documents to prompt a Trump collusion investigation.

Given the Steele travesty and other past scandals, it is inexplicable that Clinton has not been indicted.

Her lawlessness first made headlines 25 years ago, when she admitted that her cattle futures broker had defied odds of one in 31 trillion by investing $1,000 from her trading account and returning a profit of nearly $100,000. Clinton failed to report about $6,500 in profits to the IRS. She initially lied about her investment windfall by claiming she made the wagers herself. She even fantastically alleged that she mastered cattle futures trading by reading financial newspapers.

To paraphrase Clinton herself, anyone else would have been indicted for far less.

The reason that foreign oligarchs are no longer donating millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation, and that Bill Clinton is not being offered $500,000 for speaking appearances in Moscow, is simply because Hillary Clinton is not secretary of state. She is no longer in a public position to hector her colleagues into approving pro-Russian commercial deals, such as the one that gave Russian interests access to North American uranium.

As secretary of state, Clinton also sidestepped the law by setting up a home-brewed email server. She transmitted classified documents over this insecure route and lied about it. And she destroyed some 30,000 emails that were in effect under subpoena. Anyone else would have been indicted for far less.

In truth, Clinton was at the heart of the entire Russian collusion hoax. Even after the election, she kept fueling it to blame Russia-Trump conspiracies for her stunning defeat in 2016. Unable to acknowledge her own culpability as a weak and uninspiring candidate, Clinton formally joined the post-election “resistance” and began whining about collusion. That excuse seemed preferable to explaining why she blew a huge lead and lost despite favorable media coverage and superior funding.

For much of her professional life, Hillary Clinton had acted above and beyond the law on the assumption that as the wife of a governor, as first lady of the United States, as a senator from New York, as secretary of state and as a two-time candidate for the presidency, she could ignore the law without worry over the consequences.

For Clinton now to project that the president should be indicted suggests she is worried about her own potential indictment. And she is rightly concerned that for the first time in 40 years, neither she nor her husband is serving in government or running for some office, and therefore could be held accountable.

"The Clinton"s"
 

Could use a good law firm! AND SOME GOOD ADVICE; Like, STAY OUT OF THE PUBLIC VIEW & SHUT UP.

NOOO! The advice is stay in the public and keep blabbering like you are on truth serum!

Agreed. It would be a great day in American history to see Hillary Clinton indicted and the Clinton family forever banished from politics, including their daughter.
