Is President-Elect Trump Already Squishing On His Promise To Investigate Hillary?

'I don’t want to hurt them, I don’t want to hurt them. . . They’re good people.'

During his first televised, sit-down interview as president-elect, Donald Trump told CBS News’ Leslie Stahl on Sunday that he was re-thinking the whole “lock her up” thing in regards to Hillary Clinton and her e-mails.

“I don’t want to hurt them, I don’t want to hurt them,” he said of the Clintons. “They’re good people.”

Umm. Wutt? Friendly reminder: Neither Hillary Clinton nor her husband are “good people.” In fact, they’re as nasty as two people can get. But Trump already knows that, because he spent the entire campaign repeatedly assuring his supporters he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private, unsecured e-mail server during her tenure as secretary of State to hold her accountable to the law.

When pressed as to whether he would make good on his campaign promises and appoint a special prosecutor, he said: “I don’t want to hurt them… And I will give you an answer, a very, very good and definitive answer the next time we do ’60 Minutes’ together.”
