Nope that is not what he said. That's your rewrite of history.
HE kept saying HE was going to lock her up. He was going to instruct his AG to investigate her because she was "crooked Hillary".
But once he got elected he backpeddled faster than a cornerback trying to cover Odell Beckham, Jr.

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.
One more time to explain...and then we'll toast another, okay?
I was merely responding to your hit-and-run post that as a candidate he was calling for her to be locked up. Which is a fact.
James Comey let Hillary Clinton off the hook twice during the campaign with that "no intent discovered" baloney. BEFORE the election.
Which is a fact.
Once he was elected, and was the Pres-elect, he was magnanimous when he said, together with her humiliating, crushing defeat....that she had suffered enough.
Got it now?
He isn't trying to go back on his word. As a private citizen running for the presidency he talked one way...to win and rile his base.
This isn't rocket science, my friend.
