Trump doesn't need to do anything as the FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation is still ongoing. You are naïve to think she's in the clear.
Donald Trump says he won’t pursue investigations against Hillary Clinton. This is not a good thing

It is dangerous to let people think the President decides who gets prosecuted in our criminal justice system. Stop ing doing it.

Donald Trump disavows 'alt-right'
President-elect Donald Trump denied Tuesday that he did anything to energize the "alt-right" movement through his presidential campaign and sought to distance himself from it, even though many of the movement's leaders have sought to tether their political views to Trump's rise.
"I don't want to energize the group, and I disavow the group," Trump told a group of New York Times reporters and columnists during a meeting at the newspaper's headquarters in New York.
"It's not a group I want to energize, and if they are energized, I want to look into it and find out why," he added,

Holy , Don The Con and his conned voters are WAY down the rabbit hole.
A Toxic Resentment of Women Helps Power the Alt-Right
The coexistence of racism and sexism in the so-called manosphere dates back to the dawn of the internet. One early men's rights site, Fathers' Manifesto, interspersed references to Warren Farrell's book The Myth of Male Power with calls to exile blacks from America.
[Alt-right pioneer Richard] Spencer readily admits that women make up a small portion of the alt-right, but he has also said that
most women secretly crave alt-right boyfriends because they want "alpha genes" and "alpha sperm."
He also believes women are unsuited to some roles in government: "Women should never be allowed to make foreign policy," he tweeted during the first presidential debate.
"It's not that they're 'weak.' To the contrary, their vindictiveness knows no bounds."
Trump defended Bannon in his New York Times meeting, saying that he's known him for "a long time" and that the allegations of anti-Semitism and connections to the alt-right are "not him."
"If I thought he was racist, or 'alt-right' ... I wouldn't even think about hiring him," Trump said Tuesday.

and he backed off his "im not going to settle the trump u lawsuit" thingso now trump has backed off his Hilary prosecution comments, his Obamacare repeal comments, and his build that wall comments
And remember Trump's Gettysburg address? At the same place where Lincoln asked us to pay tribute to the fallen by saving our country and winning the war, Trump so selflessly declared that he would sue every last one of his sexual assault accusers. Looks like that may not happen either.
Here are some beauties from Chump's NYT interview yesterday:
Waterboarding: says he talked to General Mattis who told Trump that he never found waterboarding to be useful, and that he could do better with a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers. Trump says he was very, very impressed by that answer.
Climate change and the Paris accords: Trump thinks there is "some connectivity" between human activity and climate change. Says he is looking at the Paris agreement very closely, and he has an open mind to it.
The "failing" NY Times: Trump has great respect for the NYT - tremendous respect. He thinks the paper is "a great great American jewel - world jewel"
Crooked Hillary: "I don’t want to hurt the Clintons. I really don’t. She went through a lot. And suffered greatly in many different ways. And I am not looking to hurt them at all. The campaign was vicious."
Clinton Foundation: "This has been looked at for so long. Ad nauseam. Let’s go forward. And you know, you could also make the case that some good work was done in the foundation and they could have made mistakes, etc."
Draining the swamp: "I mean I know that from the standpoint, the law is totally on my side, meaning, the president can’t have a conflict of interest. That’s been reported very widely. Despite that, I don’t want there to be a conflict of interest anyway. And the laws, the president can’t. And I understand why the president can’t have a conflict of interest now because everything a president does in some ways is like a conflict of interest, but I have, I’ve built a very great company and it’s a big company and it’s all over the world. People are starting to see, when they look at all these different jobs, like in India and other things, number one, a job like that builds great relationships with the people of India, so it’s all good. But I have to say, the partners come in, they’re very, very successful people."
The good news for the Trumpanzees is that he loves Steve Bannon, so the Pepe agenda appears to be on track. And he's going to ask his son-in-law to broker peace in the Middle East - that should end well.
Trump changes tune on climate: Will he stay true to his most recent remarks?
After calling climate change a 'hoax' during the campaign, the president-elect said there is 'some connectivity' on climate change and human activity.
“I’m looking very closely at it. I have an open mind to it,” the president-elect told The New York Times in an hour-long question-and-answer Tuesday. On the link between human activity and climate change, he said,
“I think there is some connectivity ... it depends on how much.”
Trump has shown a willingness since the election to entertain more moderate policies. But he also has a habit of making statements inconsistent with previous ones.
Trump was weighing climate change and American compe iveness and “how much it will cost our companies.”

so, in Don The Con's calculation (for now, subject to change in the next 15 minutes), addressing AGW takes backseat to protecting the profits of BigCorp polluters, regardless the Ms of people who suffer and die from BigCorp pollution.

Colbert: The Part of Trump's Election That Makes Me Feel Thankful
Donald Trump infamously pledged during his campaign that he would jail Hillary Clinton, but the president-elect seems to have backed off the strange threat.
"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,"
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told MSNBC's Joe Scarborough two weeks after the election.
"That strong message? Ignore all my previous strong messages,"

White Nationalist Leader ‘Disappointed’ After Trump Brushes Off Their Movement
White nationalist leader Richard Spencer said he was “disappointed” in Donald Trump‘s decision to put some space between his platform and their movement
Trump’s campaign has been frequently aligned with the “alt-right,” a moniker Spencer claims to have coined and has said represents a white nationalist ideology. Trump was criticized for embracing the movement when he tapped Steve Bannon, under whose stewardship Breitbart News became the foremost media outlet for the alt-right, to be his White House chief strategist.
Despite that, Trump told the Times,
“I don’t want to energize the group. I’m not looking to energize them. I don’t want to energize the group, and I disavow the group.”

Another group conned into supporting Don The Con.
Hillary Clinton’s “Corrupt Establishment” Is Now Advising Donald Trump
“THE ESTABLISHMENT,” Donald Trump famously said during his closing argument for the presidency, “has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.”
He described “a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political en ies.”
He asked the country to be “brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment.”
Now, less than four weeks after riding that line to victory, he formally invited the establishment into his administration.
On Friday, Trump announced the
creation of a “Strategic and Policy Forum” that will serve to advise him on domestic economic matters. The list of advisers is a who’s-who of corporate elites.
He’s not the only one making a major turnaround; many of them had previously and enthusiastically supported his Democratic opponent.
The chairman of the forum is Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO of the Blackstone Group, a private equity and investment banking giant. Blackstone blasted out the release highlighting the creation of the forum this morning on its own website, saying that it is “composed of some of America’s most highly respected and successful business leaders,” who “will be called upon to meet with the President frequently to share their specific experience and knowledge as the President implements his plan to bring back jobs and Make America Great Again.”
Although Schwarzman is a Republican, his company — like so much of Wall Street — spent much of the campaign getting close to Hillary Clinton. Blackstone’s Chief Operating Officer Hamilton “Tony” James hosted a fundraiser for Clinton in December 2015 that featured, among others, Democratic-aligned billionaire Warren Buffet. More than a dozen executives at the firm gave tens of thousands of dollars to Clinton’s campaign. The firm held an invitation-only, swanky reception at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
Another member of the new advisory group is Larry Fink. Fink is the chairman and CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management firm. Fink spent years ingratiating himself with top Democrats and was once short-listed as a replacement for the Obama administration’s Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. He even hired former Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills to serve on the firm’s board of directors of his firm — and was poised to take over and staff Clinton’s Treasury Department.
Evidently, Fink has now jumped ship and joined the Making America Great Again team, and Trump, in turn, has no problem tapping him for advice.
Here is the full list:
- Stephen A. Schwarzman (forum chairman), chairman, CEO, and co-founder of Blackstone;
- Paul Atkins, CEO, Patomak Global Partners, LLC, former commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission;
- Mary Barra, chairwoman and CEO, General Motors;
- Toby Cosgrove, CEO, Cleveland Clinic;
- Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO, JPMorgan Chase & Co;
- Larry Fink, chairman and CEO, BlackRock;
- Bob Iger, chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company
- Rich Lesser, president and CEO, Boston Consulting Group;
- Doug McMillon, president and CEO, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.;
- Jim McNerney, former chairman, president, and CEO, Boeing;
- Adebayo “Bayo” Ogunlesi, chairman and managing partner, Global Infrastructure Partners;
- Ginni Rometty, chairwoman, president, and CEO, IBM;
- Kevin Warsh, Shepard Family distinguished visiting fellow in economics, Hoover Ins ute, former member of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System;
- Mark Weinberger, global chairman and CEO, EY;
- Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO, General Electric;
- Daniel Yergin, Pulitzer Prize winner, vice chairman of IHS Markit;

sounding more and more like "drain the swamp" isn't happening
This is my shocked face.
sounding more and more like "drain the swamp" isn't happening
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...rain-the-swampNewt Gingrich says Trump is done with ‘drain the swamp’
“I'm told he now just disclaims that,” Gingrich said on “Morning Edition.” “He now says it was cute, but he doesn't want to use it anymore.”
Gingrich said he had “written what I thought was a very cute tweet about 'the alligators are complaining,'" but that “somebody wrote back and said they were tired of hearing this stuff.”
Gingrich actually drafted two tweets in recent days about draining the swamp — tweets that apparently earned him the rebuke.
Loyal lapdog Newt got his nose whacked with a newspaper it seems.
