"That's not our job," McDonough said on NBC's Meet the Press. "That's the job of the party to make those decisions and then they'll take a look at the agendas and the positions of those candidates."

Sounds like the Dems will be running someone OTHER than Hillary after all. I suspect that Obama will use the Justice Department to make that clear to Hillary...and then pardon her just prior to leaving office.

I sure hope the Republicans are ready and have done some homework.

Ford did it, with Nixon.

President Ford pardoned then resigned Richard Nixon before he was charged.

The president can pardon anyone for everything if he or she chooses. Nixon was never charged with anything and Ford pardoned him for everything.

I do believe that Obama does not want to leave the White House, therefore he will have no desire to endorse anyone but himself.
