RUSH: Are any of you out there worried that it means something bad that Trump has decided not to prosecute Hillary? I'm just asking, because I'm hearing from people who are. They're livid at Hillary, they're still mad, and they believed that draining the swamp meant that maybe they weren't just gonna go specifically with Hillary but that Trump was gonna investigate the whole kebang up there and figure out what had gone wrong and get rid of all the deadweight at every agency -- EPA, DOJ, what have you.
Some people really expected he could do that, would do that. They're not expecting him to target Hillary, just to clean out the swamp. And they look at him not prosecuting Hillary as maybe, uh-oh. I will reserve my answer to the question, of course, until I hear from some of you if you want to tackle it. Because once I have something to say on something like that, then there's nothing left to say about it, and I don't want to prematurely abort discussion on this question. (interruption) Mr. Snerdley says, "Nah, it's no big deal."
Now, you're saying that because you have roots to traditional politics, and basically there's a rule that says, "You don't bury your vanquished opponent. It's enough that they lost. You look forward. You don't go punitive. It's very small-minded to do that. There's campaign rhetoric, and then there's stuff that you actually do," and you're thinking, Snerdley, "He was never gonna prosecute her, just like they didn't prosecute Nixon. If anybody was ever gonna prosecute anybody, it would be the Democrats prosecuting Nixon."
Ford pardoned him to save everybody that, and the Democrats were ticked about it. But I mean there are a lot of people -- maybe a lot, I know how many -- who really thought that when Trump said, "You ought to be in jail," that they agreed with that and thought that she should be. So we'll see what people have to say about it, provided any of you react to it. Maybe many of you are; it just depends whether or not you can get through here, which remains the top challenge for any caller.
