The Hill reports:
President-elect Donald Trump’s plan not to pursue an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server is not being received well at Breitbart News. “Broken Promise: Trump ‘Doesn’t Wish to Pursue’ Clinton Email Charges,” reads the lead story headline on Breitbart.com.
“I think when the President-elect, who’s also the head of your party, tells you before he’s even inaugurated that he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone, and content” to other Republicans, former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
Breitbart openly supported Trump during the campaign, with almost all stories and editorial being favorable to the Republican nominee. Its former executive chairman, Steve Bannon, served as CEO of Trump’s campaign and was recently named as a senior advisor in his White House.
Many Breitbart readers, however, believe what’s said below.
Trump may have just rope-a-doped Obama into not pardoning Hillary.

Imagine this. Obama fails to pardon. FBI recommends grand jury. Sessions says ok. Trump says, "It's not my job to tell AG what to do…"

How can Obama now pardon Hillary claiming a “witch hunt” when Trump said he wanted her to heal? This was a pardon blocker.
