OBama will pardon her before this goes much further.
She would just ignore any judgment.
Why does she need a pardon when she won’t be indicted?
Congress is already helpless.
One can be impeached for anything Congress wants to impeach for.
All it takes is the political will. No crime is necessary.
They can impeach her for her screech, if the population demands it from their representatives.
Helpless to act? How about impeachment?
Congress can’t impeach for things which happened before the office holder was in office ??
Okay as far as it goes.
However if Hillary were to pardon herself, it seems to me that such a pardon,,issued in her official capacity as president , would be an impeachable offense.
Anyone else agree?? Certainly there is no way to interpret the constitution and other laws, and conclude that a president can pardon himself/herself.
Seriously doubt any criminal charges are forthcoming.
The FBI can’t indict and Loretta Lynch won’t.
If Clinton is convicted before the election, whether or not she is in jail, she can still be President, if that is the will of the citizen electorate.
The problem is that Republicans might be spineless ... again.

There is your problem, the feckless Republican Congress.
They will issue a statment: Oh my, this is very disturbing. We will have to look into it and then.......nothing.
The Republicans will not be spineless again, they’ve never stopped.
Full blown non-stop cowardly behavior, as well as lying to their voters, and arrogance towards anyone that thinks like Trump, has been going on since obama came on.
“OBama will pardon her before this goes much further.”
You could be correct, but I see a problem with that. To pardon her before being charged is an admission that a crime had been committed. And to pardon her after she has been charged is an admission she is guilty.
Same goes if she pardons herself. But if this happens it just smells of something a banana republic dictator would do.
Make sense - anyone?
Not if it is for a violation of the FOIA.
The law specifically prohibits being elected to a federal office.
It was intended to be a political death penalty.
A self-pardon may be the one thing that would unite Democrats against Hillary.
If they didn’t take a stand against her, It would destroy the party for the foreseeable future.
Yes, there would be people that would still support her, but not enough to build a majority coalition.
That would require some kind d if admission....genetically impossible for a Klinton.
“”the House determined impeachment was only proper for crimes committed while in office. “”
Doesn’t the second paragraph contradict the first? Congress being unable to do anything and then possibly impeaching her for her conduct as SOS?
“”So, under this precedent, a President Hillary Clinton could pardon herself without the Congress being able to do anything about it.
However, all options may not be exhausted. There remains a possibility that self-pardon is grounds for impeachment as an abuse of power. Furthermore, there is the possibility of impeaching Clinton back from her time as Secretary of State.””
The most disturbing thing is that million of people would want Her Thighness as President whether she committed these crimes or not.
ROFL....she has to get there first, which she isn’t going to be doing....
