2nd broken promise: Trump will NOT pursue investigations into Hillary

Donald Trump will not sic federal investigators on Hillary Clinton once he's in the White House.

Kellyanne Conway, a senior official on the Republican's presidential campaign and now his transition team, told Morning Joe the president-elect has a lot on his mind and 'things that sound like the campaign aren't among them.'

'I think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that a majority of Americans don't find her to be honest or trustworthy, but if Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that's a good thing,' Conway said.

Trump threatened Clinton with jail time and promised to appoint a special prosecutor to look into her deleted emails.

He likewise alleged that Clinton and her husband Bill used their charity for 'criminal enterprise.'

'Lock her up!' became a rallying cry for Trump supporters attending his events.

The president-elect's inner circle had doubted publicly that Trump would follow through, and the incoming president said himself in a 60 Minutes interview that he doesn't want to 'hurt' Bill and Hillary.

'They're good people,' he said.

Morning Joe hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough said Tuesday that the president-elect will not pursue charges against his former White House opponent for her emails or the pay-for-play schemes he accused her of on the campaign trail.
A source with 'direct knowledge' of Trump's plans shared the information, Brzezinski said on the program early Tuesday am. Trump feels Clinton has been 'through enough,' the source told the program.

Scarborough referenced Gerald Ford's pardoning of Richard Nixon at the beginning of his term for charges associated with Watergate and observed that Trump 'could say there are echos of 1974.'

'But at the same time I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of members of the Trump base that are gonna be angry that he did this,' he said.

The MSNBC host said: 'You don't want to go into a new year chasing somebody out of public life....It's just not good for the country.'

Clinton has rarely been seen in public since her electoral defeat two weeks ago.
A hiker spotted the Democrat near her home, walking her dogs, in Chappaqua, New York.

On Sunday bookseller posted a photograph of Clinton in Westerly, Rhode Island. Clinton was there with her husband, daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren, the woman said.

Clinton delivered a speech last Wednesday in Washington, D.C. before the Children's Defense Fund, the first organization she worked at after college.

Conway confirmed to Scarborough this morning, on air, that Trump would not add injury to insult and work to put Clinton behind bars.

Republicans on Capitol Hill said they would spend 'years' investigating her after the election.

'I think they were looking toward a Clinton administration,' Brzezinski said Tuesday.

Conway said she expects them to back down, too.

'I think when the president-elect, who's also the head of your party now, Joe, tells you before he's even inaugurated he doesn't wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone and content, to the members,' Conway told Scarborough.

She indicated that Trump was changing tack because he has more pressing matters to deal with.

'I think he's thinking of many different things as he prepares to become the President of the United Stats and things that sound like the campaign aren't among them,' she stated.

Rudy Giuliani, a vice chairman of Trump's transition, told reporters this morning as he exited Trump Tower, that he'd seen the news but had no additional information.
If Trump did reach that conclusion, he said, 'I would be supportive of it.

'I’d also be supportive of continuing the investigation. I think the president-elect had a tough choice there - you could go either way,' Giuliani said. 'If he made the choice to unite the nation, I think all those people who didn’t vote against him, maybe, could take another look at him.'

Giuliani said Tuesday, as he's said before, 'There’s a tradition in American politics that after you win an election, you sort of put things behind you.

'And if that’s the decision he reached, that’s perfectly consistent with sort of a historical pattern of things come up,' he stated today. 'You say a lot of things, even some bad things might happen, and then you can sort of put it behind you in order to unite the nation.'
