A top aide to President-elect Donald Trump says law enforcement officials in his administration might continue investigations into Hillary Clinton’s private email, even though Trump has signaled he prefers not to pursue the matter.

Kellyanne Conway was Trump’s campaign manager. Conway said Friday Trump still prefers not to pursue a case against Clinton. But she says law enforcement officials and Congress “may take a look at that.”

Speaking on ABC’s Good Morning America, Conway said the Justice Department, Congress and the FBI could still review Clinton-related inquiries.

She spoke in response to “lock her up” chants that greeted Trump during a rally Thursday. During the campaign, Trump said he would have his attorney general appoint a special prosecutor to review the Clinton inquiries.

1. And he wants Betrayus to be part of his cabinet of deplorables.

[JaneQPublic]

4. And what Petraeus did was far worse.

With Hillary's server, a few classified docs were emailed to/from staff who held all the proper clearances to see them.

With Petraeus, he knowingly handed over classified documents to his mistress, whom he knew full well was not cleared to see them.

[WhiteTara]

9. in other words, she conducted the business of her office

while he acted in a treasonous manner.

The world is upside down.

[JaneQPublic]

11. Bingo. (nt)

[SummerSnow]

29. he is going after her cause it's personal. He really hates her.

She's a woman who went up against him and with male narcissist , she has to pay.

[moonscape]

30. He's pissed she hasn't disavowed the recount. Honestly, this is

a card he will pull out whenever he wants a distraction. I am in favor of a pre-emptive pardon to stop T's ability to rally his lock-her-up base on this issue.

It needs to end. Now.

[Ninga]

2. Of course, not surprised, this is because of the current recount effort. I am of the mind

that each and every loyal, staunch and true to the bones liberals, progressives keep hammering away - a dedicated program to
rattle the poser every way we can.

[hamsterjill]

5. Yep. Trump is trying to manipulate the recount by threatening Hillary.

n/t

[RKP5637]

3. The level of vile hatred in the US is astounding! Hatred is vogue in the US!

One nation under a god? FFS, it's now become one nation under hatred IMO.

[DeminPennswoods]

6. Well, Breitbart apparently went crazy

when Trump said he wasn't that interested in prosecuting her. The looney tunes helped elect him, so got to keep them happy.

[Sunlei]

7. Like the Republicans fake birther crap.

[yallerdawg]

8. These people are insane.

An independent Department of Justice does not pursue investigations until the president and his campaign achieve the desired outcome they want.

Is there any doubt that Comey would have recommended charges if the evidence took him there?

And now that the FBI, and WikiLeaks, and the Congressional committees all shut up about Hillary, is there any doubt they accomplished their purpose as Republican leadership and the Corrupt One himself pointed out and asked for repeatedly?

[Sunlei]

10. probably be good to discover exactly who hacked the files & dumped on wikileaks & who was behind

the fbi leaks from 'retired' fbi agents about emails on wieners laptop.

Firm up exactly what Americans had the connections to Russia, to plan for WikiLeaks delivery of stolen files.

[RobinA]

20. Hillary's Server

was hacked? I must have missed that.

[Sunlei]

21. not her server.

[question everything]

12. Yes. Kinda wonder whether he was going to change his mind once her campaign joined the recount

whether, in his mind - or what stands for his mind - it was a tacit quid pro quo..

[Still In Wisconsin]

13. My guess: they will re-open investigations the first time they need a good distraction

Bad economic news? Foreign policy blunder? Scandal involving Trump administration?


e-mails!!!! e-mails!!!! Lock her up!!!!!!


Oh, and BENGHAZI!!!!!

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. Ryan has already said he plans on more e-mail investigating...

aside from pandering to the choir, I see no benefit.

[Boomerproud]

32. They want to cause as much personal pain to Hillary Clinton as possible.

It's in their DNA.

[Still In Wisconsin]

39. I agree. These are some mean-spirited mofos we're dealing with.

[riversedge]

14. So, the Trump adm. is continuing their threats to a former opponent. This has got to stop!

The Dems in Congress need to start speaking up about these threats from the Trump camp!

[wisteria]

15. That is because his sick supporters love hating Clinton.

They will use it to raise money and forcred meat to keep the ignorant in tow.

[lark]

16. Will they stop the Russian inquiry under way?

Will they stop the inquiry into his real conflicts of interest? Bet the answer to covering up crimes is yes. Sad that the FBI is now totally rouge and back to the J. Edgar Hoover days. Even more sad, Obama has let this happen and is doing nothing to stop it. WHY?

[wordpix]

17. Clinton should counter claim with a harassment and threatening lawsuit

nuff said

[LuckyLib]

18. They will drag this dead horse out each and every time they need to divert attention

away from Drumpf's massive mountain of corruption.

I'm already sick of it, and he hasn't even taken office yet.

[hibbing]

19. Can Congress destroy Medicare and SS and still have time for this? n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. Probably around the same time the economy begins to tank they'll pull this out.

Or maybe when some of the Madman's conflicts begin to come to light.

Nothing like a good distraction.

[Politicub]

23. So, people are going to sit in front of congress for hours answering the same questions non stop?

And then four years later a report will come out from this extra special prosecutor? How much will this indulgence cost?

I'm going to have to stop staying on top of current events. All it does is raise my blood pressure.

[adigal]

24. This is just rich...this will create a civil war. Really. Not hyperbole.

It might take this to wake Dems up to the fact that Republicans will never give up destroying the Clintons.

[adigal]

25. And not it's time to look into Trump U, his paying fines from his charity, both criminal

How about we look into the rape of that 13 year old girl?? Is there any lawyer brave enough to help her file charges?????

[wordpix]

38. Jane Doe terminated the rape case b/c she was threatened

by whom, I don't think is solved. The usual suspects.

[ck4829]

26. In the year 122016...

The cybernetic clone of the reincarnation of Paul Ryan will hold a hearing to ask why TRON of CTHULHUVILLE, the director of the Interplanetary Bureau of Extraplanar and Temporal Anomaly Investigation hasn't yet reprogrammed the time machine to travel back in time to go back to the Third New United States to have a hearing for the sacred record keeper for their status on activities of the holder of the key to demand answers from the Hive Mind which needs the solution from the Supercomputer which requires a localized rip in the space time continuum from Mandy from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy parallel universe to have a hearing on the hearing on the hearing on the hearing... on Hillary Clinton's something. He just knows it's bad... real bad.

[wordpix]

37. their threatening is really about stopping the recount

so they're threatening more EMAIL investigations as a dirty negotiation tactic. I say call them on it and say go ahead, but we're not stopping the recount.

[still_one]

28. Please bring it on, do it you POS. Maybe you can make it last four years, and not only will that

lessen the damage these brown shirts would do, but at the same time destroy themselves

[djg21]

33. So what. It's stupid.

Obama will issue a Pardon and that will be the end of it.

[Cha]

34. More gd wasting of taxpayers money.. of course.. that's what these assholes do.

[TomCADem]

35. Hillary Clinton Should Consider Seeking Political Asylum

Putting Hillary Clinton in jail might be the one achievable thing that Trump can do, and the controversy might distract from his efforts to fleece taxpayers in other areas. Plus, given that Trump and his cronies have pretty much made clear that this is their goal, she should leave the country to avoid political persecution.

[wordpix]

36. hey, Kellyanne: we're not stopping the recount when you threaten

We demand voter and election integrity. Let's see what the recount shows.

[jmowreader]

40. Does Trump know he actually lost the election?

I'm not talking just the popular vote now; did he actually lose in three of the five <5% margin of victory states but use illegal methods to "win" - methods that a recount would uncover?

If the recounts flip even one state to Hillary, we need to recount EVERY STATE HE WON. And if enough states flip to Hillary to send her to the White House, I want Trump's entire entourage in a maximum security federal penitentiary for at least ten years. (On edit: except for Melania. I want her work record reviewed, and if it turns out she was working here illegally strip her citizenship, deport her and her son, and charge Trump with harboring an illegal immigrant. I want this man's name so thoroughly ruined, people will start calling the smelly brown stuff stuck to the bottom of their shoes "dogtrump" rather than "dogshit.&quot
