Staying true to my word, I promised I would criticize Donald Trump whenever I thought he erred - I think this is a mistake.
Donald Trump ran in part on the idea of 'draining the swamp', of finally holding Politicians accountable for their actions - it's one of the MAJOR factors that resonated with his supporters, on both sides of the proverbial aisle who voted for him.
Dropping his promise to hire a special independent prosecutor to investigate the Hillary case is most probably a move to try to heal the wounds and division in this country, to try to end the hostility from the Left and bring the country together.
What would really bring the country together is to keep his word, to bring back true justice to this country, to 'drain the swamp', and ensure the law is applied to EVERYONE equally.
Yes, there are a LOT of high ranking politicians o both sides who have been sheltered, who going after will cause massive shake-up, but that is exactly what we - the American people need. We need an end to politicians who are Unconstitutionally above the law, who are 'too big / elitist to jail'. The idea that NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW needs to be re-established.
I am not calling for 'revenge'. I am not calling for 'partisan social justice' (whatever the hell that is). I am saying one of the cornerstones of his Presidency, and if he begins to back down on THAT one this far out from taking over he will lose a lot of people who voted for him before he ever gets into office.
IMO what Trump SHOULD do, if he really wants to NOT indict Hillary he should continue to declare that is what he is going to do. Force Obama to issue her a Pardon on the way out the door, and then let it go. That way he could give the impression that he kept / was willing to keep his promise to go after her but will respect Obama's Pardon, for the sake of the country allowing it to end there so the healing can begin.
"Trump also appeared to back away from his promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, over her use of a private email server. Trump made such a promise during the second presidential debate against Clinton during a rhetorical duel that ended with Trump saying if he was president, "you'd be in jail."
"She did some bad things, I mean she did some bad things," Trump said, to which Stahl responded, "I know, but a special prosecutor?"
"I don't want to hurt them, I don't want to hurt them," Trump said. "They’re, they’re good people. I don't want to hurt them."
No, Mr. Trump, they are really NOT 'good people' at all. That's why America rejected Hillary Clinton...a 2nd time.
