Not sure, but I think she actually has to be charged with a crime to be eligible for a pardon.
Nixon was never charged.
Nixon was never charged.
And I think convicted.
Nope. As president, he could pardon her for any and all crimes committed prior to Jan 20, 2017, and that would be the end of it.
The only odds I saw quoted were about 4:1 against a pardon, by the way.
Nope, Nixon was never charged with a crime.
I think you’re right. She isn’t convicted.
But that won’t stop Obama from preeminently pardoning her. Illegal or not, the press will claim it shall be and R’s will be afraid to go against it.
I'll probably not be the first to tell you, but that is not true.
Ford pardoned Nixon, and Nixon wasn't charged with a crime.
Ford did Nixon.....no crime
“...but I think she actually has to be charged with a crime to be eligible for a pardon.”
Obama and the other criminal DemcRats saw to it that Hitlery was never indicted. No pardon needed.
Richard Milhouse Nixon
*Andrew Johnson, Christmas 1868 pardon/amnesty for Confederacy supporters
*Ex Parte Garland
*Burdick v US
*US v Wilson
*Jimmy Carter, 1977 pardon/amnesty for draft dodgers
There is overwhelming legal precedent for pardons without official charges, although they are and should be, rare.
I THINK he can pardon her from future indictments.....I stand corrected....
Bergdahl, then Hillary. This is because he needs CYA for his post-presidency. If either one of those goes down in court it’ll take a slice of Obama’s reputation with them.
