Dit is wat Mike Rivero hierover schrijft:
I am being flooded with angry emails right now, and I too am greatly disappointed that the United States still has a criminal class that is above the law. In one stroke, Trump has already damaged his credibility as chief enforcer of the US laws. A lot of the support he had to win this election will likely abandon him on the re-election.
However, politics is a practical profession, so let us take a closer look. The fact that Conway delivered this statement signals this is (as even CNN notes) a political message rather than a legal one.
Trump knows that the rioting in Portland and elsewhere, along with the threats against the electors, is organized by a group of people deathly afraid of going to jail, and even willing to assassinate him to avoid their day in court.
So, what I expect has happened is that a deal had been made for Hillary to fade quietly into private life in exchange for calling off the riots and threats to the electors, which I suspect we will see vanish in the next few days.
I don’t like this decision, but I understand why Trump may have seen this as the best way to quiet down those trying to delegitimize him before he even takes the oath of office. And if I am correct that Hillary was selling US secrets to foreign interests with that private email server and using the Foundation to collect and launder the payments, then Trump doesn’t need a scandal on such a scale to be made public and delegitimize the entire government he is about to take charge of. Like I said, I don’t like this decision, but I understand why Trump may have seen this as the optimal course.
We zullen zien of hij gelijk krijgt.
Mike
