Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie -- two Donald Trump loyalists rumored to be under consideration for top law-enforcement positions in the incoming administration -- demurred Thursday when asked about the President-elect's resolve to follow-up on his campaign promise to put Hillary Clinton in jail...
"I think it's a tough decision," Giuliani told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." "I think it's a tough one that should be given a lot of thought and shouldn't be an off-the-cuff answer. Equal administration of justice is one of our most important principles."
"Do you believe that the value of that investigation is worth the political instability it would cause?" asked Cuomo.
"I told you, I think it's a very close question. I think that somebody should review that very carefully, as to how bad is that evidence. And if it isn't as bad as some of the exaggerators think it is, then maybe the best thing to do is forget about it and move on. If it is really bad, then somebody's got to look at it who is independent," Giuliani said.
Christie, who has headed Trump's White House transition team and is reportedly under consideration for attorney general or chief of staff, was also noncommittal when asked about Clinton's future in an interview on NBC's "Today" show Thursday.
"I haven't spoken to (Trump) about that. I will tell you they had an enormously gracious conversation with each other Tuesday night," he said. "Again, politics are over now, people have spoken, time to move on."
