It was not a bribe ... cause they also paid to hear about how she almost joined the Marines and dodged sniper fire in Bosnia!

Hillary will be granted Clemency for over 1000 crimes in the very near future. Then she will be defeated real bad.

Zero doesn’t necessarily need to pardon her till the door on his Oval Office slams shut for good.

It is not a Pardon. A pardon is post conviction. It is Pre indictment Clemency from the Jack Ass — buckle your seat belt.

So when Ford pardoned Nixon he had already been convicted?

If you will look very closely you will find”Clemency”. There is no “Pardon” until after conviction. The press spun it like Nixon had been convicted. He was never convicted and actually did not commit any crime. Nothing like Clinton and his wife. Not even close.

There is no way Obozo could ever know all of The Ankle’s crimes in order to grant her immunity. There are just too many...

The Nothing knows she will vomit krap about him if he doesn’t let her off.
AG Lynch will have the first chance by not bringing charges, thus keeping
The Legacy intact.

What the hell would she know about the Osama raid, she “wiped” her server with “a towel or something”. She can’t recall or remember anything so it’s obvious she was making stuff up to put in her “speeches”.

Hello? So Nixon who was not convicted of a crime was pardoned but Scooter Libby who was convicted of a crime got clemency?

[...] As a result of certain acts or omissions occurring before his resignation from the Office of President, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States. Whether or not he shall be so prosecuted depends on findings of the appropriate grand jury and on the discretion of the authorized prosecutor. Should an indictment ensue, the accused shall then be entitled to a fair trial by an impartial jury, as guaranteed to every individual by the Constitution.

It is believed that a trial of Richard Nixon, if it became necessary, could not fairly begin until a year or more has elapsed. In the meantime, the tranquility to which this nation has been restored by the events of recent weeks could be irreparably lost by the prospects of bringing to trial a former President of the United States. The prospects of such trial will cause prolonged and divisive debate over the propriety of exposing to further punishment and degradation a man who has already paid the unprecedented penalty of relinquishing the highest elective office of the United States.

Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974. [...]

- From 61 - Proclamation 4311 - Granting Pardon to Richard Nixon

She is sickening.

Why does anyone want to pay to listen to HER? She lies, anyway!

And, for her to take money based on the Bin Laden raid is a sin. If any money is taken in, it should go to Bin Laden’s victims, and/or the soldiers and families who made the sacrifices. She did nothing to earn anything.

If you look closely, VP Nixon was in charge of developing the SEATO Treaty, under Ike.

Nixon should have been executed, right after McNamara and Kissinger.

Just my opinion.

I don’t think that’s true. Nixon was pardoned by proclamation by GErald Ford before any indictment.

There was no conviction. It was a Pardon.

From Proclamation 4311:

Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of September, in the year of....
