Early this morning, the Morning Shill with Mika Brzezinski said Trump wasn’t interested in pulling a fatality move on Hillary Clinton via a criminal indictment of the crimes she committed by using her email server. In his meeting with the NY Times today, he didn’t rule out a Clinton investigation, for those of you trying to determine if he’s playing 4d chess or not. I know the media is having a field day, trying to paint Trump as a flip flopper on the issue. But, he clearly stated the topic WAS NOT off the table. Saying that he doesn’t want to hurt the Clinton’s isn’t the same as definitively saying the email matter was closed — for those of you unable to discern rudimentary english.
Now, his meeting with the NY Times is producing even more outrageous headlines, such as The Clinton Foundation has done good work, global warming cuckery and a subtle but distinctive distancing away from the alt-right crowd — which got him into the White House.
Maggie Haberman of the NY Times was at the meeting and was living tweeting some of the highlights.

“My company’s so unimportant to me relative to what I’m doing.” Trump.

That last tweet was Trump making clear he doesn’t favor prosecution. Added people could argue the Clinton Foundation has done “good work.”

Dear Fly –
The family and I are looking forward to yet another chronicle of “A Gentleman’s Guide to Thanksgiving Decorum”. The prior accounts were most helpful and added to the delight of the holiday. Ten thousand thank you’s in advance.
Best,
Fry
I was thinking about writing HOW TO PURPOSELY DESTROY THANKSGIVING DINNER without making it look obvious.
Splendid topic!
Agreud!
He’s obviously not going to do anything.
He’s obviously going to do this with a little more showmanship than “Why yes, I will investigate her.”
During the inauguration he will have the cameras cut to a big box covered with a black sheet. The sheet will be removed on live TV to reveal Hillary inside a cage, with a hokey, cartoonish “JAIL” sign hanging on it. She will be wearing a black and white striped suit with “JAILBIRD” written on the back. And she will be in a hospital bed because Trump has a huge heart.
That formed a funny picture in my mind and gave me a great idea for a Christmas toy.
I don’t WANT to hurt the Clintons… but we don’t always get what we want now do we.
She’s going to jail.
Then hell.
You mean the liar has lied about many things? I’m shocked.
Idiots! He is playing 4d Chess but you all are so predictable that it almost ain’t funny! Ha ha ha ha ha
4d chess? thatz for chumps. trump plays 5d chess to ur bocci ballz onanism.
Did you see how Hillary looked after the election?
She might be dead in six months and Trump does not want to go down as the president that “killed” Hillary with an investigation. No up side there.
Better to stay focused on bigger things that help all Americans.
This makes sense..
Let him get into the White House first, lest the Clinton crime family unleashes the hounds and tries to take the back door back into the White House
What about Bill? Is he clean? Podesta? The rabbit hole goes deep and wide and there are investigations currently underway. I don’t believe the whole ordeal will be swept under the rug. If there’s any truth to pizza gate, perhaps that ensnares the whole lot of them, including HRC.
