Trump letting Hillary off the hook is his biggest mistake yet

So are you saying that Trump should prosecute Hillary now? Werent there about ten angry liberal threads denouncing Trump for threatening to prosecute her during the debate. Now there are ten angry liberal threads denouncing him for not doing so. I guess you are mocking him for breaking a campaign pledge, but you would be denouncing him if he kept it. I think what should be taken from this is that Trump should do what he thinks is best and ignore all the whining on the left.
 
My guess is that after Trump's time in the White House is over with some people in the Alt-Right will claim that he made other mistakes.

Mainly because Trump isn't as big of a bigot as some people in the Alt-Right are.

Trump is not instructing his AG to go after her.

The people wanted to lock her up, he stated he would appointed a special investigator for her, what happened to that?
 
I'd prefer Trump to go after Wall Street, something Obama has steadfastly refused to do. Wall Street people who orchestrated 2008 should have been in jail long ago.

As for Hillary the best thing Trump can do is be the opposite. He should release his tax returns. He should put his empire under a blind trust. He should lead by example. Making America great again starts at the top or it won't work. Trump leads the way or he doesn't. It's on him.

You Libs felt there's no basis for prosecution, and condemned special prosecutors as a waste of taxpayer money. So what happened with you?

So she can't be locked up because of liberals who aren't in power? :lol:

Please make a coherent attempt to debate me now that Trump is president.

Sure - you're not coherent because you're complaining about something you don't want.

Please give me a clear YES or NO answer: Do you want to see Hillary Clinton investigated and prosecuted for her activities relating to the Clinton Foundation as well as the her private email server?

I am... complaining... about something I don't want? I'm pretty sure I've been asking for the investigations to come after Hillary if there is evidence. Investigation after investigation, we've seen that there isn't anything they can prosecute Hillary on.

Now Trump won't come after Hillary because he doesn't want to hurt the same person he's called the most corrupt person to run for president? Bull****.

Again, try and form a coherent argument based on facts. It'll help you during these 4 years.
 

I asked for a firm YES or NO answer, and of course you predictably waffled.

You answer wasn't YES or NO, because you don't want to see Hillary prosecuted - she's your mascot, and you want to see her protected from accountability, even while you seek to give Trump a hard time for not hammering her (the very thing you don't want)

So unless you're prepared to say "YES, I want Hillary Clinton investigated and prosecuted" then I'm not going to waste my time over your tap-dancing act.

I literally just told you that I've been asking for them to investigate her if they think they have evidence. Are you sure you know what coherent means?

I understand you're Indian and English isn't the first language of most Indians, but how can you say I waffled when I answered your question directly? :lol:
 

Heh, buddy, I'm born in the US and my english is better than yours any day of the week.

But I'm unsurprised by your need to engage in racial profiling of me. After all, the bitterness of LOSING causes the Liberal masks to fall off. :lol:

You stated you were Indian. I stated English isn't the first language of most Indians. Both of those things are true and neither is actually racial profiling - they would explain why you have so much trouble with your questions being answered directly.

Be prepared - it's going to be 4 long years of you being unable to answer simple questions like: Why didn't Trump's DOJ lock her up?

It's not really Trump's decision to make. If Sessions says he wants to prosecute or assigns a special prosecutor then Trump won't interfere.
 

Everything you hate about Wall Street is due to the way the government regulates business. And that includes the Financial Crisis.
 

Of course there is. Just keeping a private server and sending classified materials to it is enough to get her locked up. She lied about it and tried to cover it up -- evidence that she knew she was breaking the law. Those facts are not in dispute.

There are good reasons not to go after her now relating to wanting to unify the country and get everyone calmed down. But it's not Trump's decision to make. He can pardon her if she's prosecuted, but he can't interfere with the decision to prosecute.

Then go after her and lock her up. If not, then Trump's rise to power is nothing more than a sham. :shrug:

There are no two ways on this one. It's time to make due on your threats.

That's a fairly ridiculous no true scotsman fallacy.

plus, the republicans don't know what to expect from him, and would be happier with Pence as president.

All that Trump said was that he'd ask the attorney general to prosecute. The decision to do it belongs to the attorney general. I don't believe that Sessions will need any encouragement to do it if the FBI has the facts to justify it.

Obama proved that experience isn't necessary. Of course, he did a lousy job, but Democrats were happy with it.
 

Again, this was never a serious issue. It was political fodder designed to make Hillary unelectable. It worked.

After a dozen Benghazi hearings that never found anything other than she had a private server... which led the the notion that she may have subjected classified information to a less secure platform (than the State Department system, which was hacked).... there never was a real issue here. What was there has been investigated and litigated (not in the courts, but within the justice system) without indictment.

This was a political stunt that worked. Give it a rest. Carrying it any further is an injustice.

...which they may get. If Trump steps too far out of line or further embarrasses them, he would be easy to impeach and set Pence up for a 10 year run as POTUS. In an odd twist, the Dems could be Trump's savior.

The President doesn't investigate or prosecute criminals or determine who will or will not be investigated or prosecuted. The Attorney General does that.

Let's wait and see who Trump picks for AG of the DOJ and then see what they say.

If Mr. Trump were determined to see justice take its course, he would be unlikely to choose an Attorney General that he doubted was of the same mind. In any case, he could bypass the Justiice Dept. entirely by appointing a special prosecutor to look into Mrs. Clinton's many dubious actions. He was under no pressure to issue a de facto pardon, and the fact he did it so easily casts doubt on his judgment..
