I'm not sure that was a campaign promise. I don't think there were many who expected it to be done. If it looked like he would actually push prosecution, Obama would have pardoned her, anyway.
True enough. Then again, I don't think getting Mexico to pay for his wall was a serious promise either. It was just a way to inflame his base. I couldn't treat the numbers he was throwing up for tax cuts seriously either. Those too have been seriously changed since the election. Frankly, I'm quite happy that a lot of what he said during the campaign was empty, but it doesn't give me a good feel for what he really is going to do.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
