Donald J. Trump spoke a lot of trash during his winning campaign for the presidency.<\/p>\n

He turned to Hillary Rodham Clinton during a presidential debate and said “You’d be in jail” in response to a statement she made about his lack of understanding of the rule of law.<\/p>\n

Then he talked about appointing a special prosecutor to look for proof that she was as “crooked” as he said she was.<\/p>\n

Except that now he’s not going to anything of the sort.<\/p>\n

That is a very good call from the president-elect.<\/p>\n

Trump says now he wants to focus on the fixing the country. He doesn’t want any distractions, such as a futile special prosecutor’s probe into matters that already have been determined to be out of reach for any prosecutor.<\/p>\n

The e-mail controversy? The alleged “pay for play”? Benghazi?<\/p>\n

It’s all been settled. The FBI determined there was no criminality involved with the e-mail server Clinton used while she was secretary of state. Pay for play has been nothing more than a political talking point. A congressional select committee has been unable to prosecute Clinton for anything involving the Sept. 11, 2012 fire fight at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.<\/p>\n

I wonder now if Trump is going to offer any expressions of “regret” or — dare I say — an actual apology<\/em> for defaming Clinton with the “crooked Hillary” label.<\/p>\n

Actually, there’s no need to wonder. The president-elect has told us already he never regrets anything … ever<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n
