I was in DC Sunday through yesterday, going back today through Saturday for Thanksgiving. There was a significant amount of alarm over the presence of Spencer and his alt-right/white supremacist group. Security level was quite high, and very visible, as were myriads of protests of a pretty wide variety. Nothing violent, other than small handfuls of Trump supporters attempting to incite, and shouting rude and profane things, confirming Hillary's description of them as "deplorables."
So after hundreds of campaign cheers shouting "lock her up," Trump walks that one back. Of course, a President has no authority to charge anyone, or launch an investigation, and of course, to lock someone up, they've had to commit a crime, and in this case, there wasn't one committed. Aside from the fact that the President, on his way out, could close the door on that forever, it's a nice surprise for Trump supporters, and it's just the first of many to come. As each day goes by, each new appointment possibility is presented, every lie he told along the way is exposed.
