Pledge to throw Hillary Clinton behind bars, it turns out all of those promises that were really the calling cards of his campaign, appear to be a little bit more flexible than he was letting on. President elect donald trump now suggesting he wont push for Hillary Clinton to be prosecuted over her private email server or dealings within the Clinton Foundation. In an interview with the New York Times trump saying i dont want to hurt the clintons. I really dont. She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways. While it may be up to Trumps Justice Department to make the final call on the matter, the tone is a sharp departure from the one he struck on the trail. She deleted the emails. She has to go to jail. If i win, i will instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation.

If trumps team thinks they can blame this on the democrats, the only problem is Key Senate Republicans are also promising a full investigation. It is clear the russians interfered. Now, whether they intended to interfere to the degree that they were trying to elect a certain candidate, i think thats subject of investigation. Expect the words russia and putin to come up with a lot when it comes to be the man reported to be trumps favorite in the secretary of state search. Tillerson has close ties to moscow.
