OH. Trump Won’t Pursue Charges Against Hillary: “She’s Been Through Enough.”

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): I’m of two minds on this. On the one hand, she pretty clearly deserves to be prosecuted, and any lesser-ranking official in her position would be. On the other hand, setting a precedent in which the new administration prosecutes the outgoing administration is dangerous, and gives people an incentive to cut (even more) corners to retain power. The Roman Republic had problems like this. Perhaps the best situation is to retain the possibility of prosecution, but not use it: The value of the Sword of Damocles, as they say, is that it hangs, not that it falls. But it still rankles.
