At a campaign rally in Novi, Michigan Friday evening, Donald Trump asked President Barack Obama not to "pardon Clinton and her co-conspirators" if any charges were filed related to the email scandal.
"Mr. President," Trump said. "Will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators for their many crimes against our country, and against society itself. No one is above the law."
DONALD TRUMP: If she gets the chance, she will put the Oval Office up for sale, like she always does.
Remember folks, she's been doing this for 30 years. She deleted and bleached 33,000 emails after a Congressional subpoena. You can't do that!

Why would Obama pardon her she is not going to be charged or convicted of anything at least not while O is still in office.
In other words Mr. President, don't pardon yourself!
Trump “went there” on two big issues today. This one - the Hillary Pardon, and Vote Fraud.
Not an accident, either of them.
Anyone still remember what a wuss Romney was?
Obama has to pardon her, or President Trump will make sure she is brought to trial. Bank on it, if Trump wins, Obama will bail her out and her minions too. I’m sure there’s an understanding.
61 - Proclamation 4311 - Granting Pardon to Richard Nixon September 8, 1974
Richard Nixon became the thirty-seventh President of the United States on January 20, 1969 and was reelected in 1972 for a second term by the electors of forty-nine of the fifty states. His term in office continued until his resignation on August 9, 1974.
Pursuant to resolutions of the House of Representatives, its Committee on the Judiciary conducted an inquiry and investigation on the impeachment of the President extending over more than eight months. The hearings of the Committee and its deliberations, which received wide national publicity over television, radio, and in printed media, resulted in votes adverse to Richard Nixon on recommended Articles of Impeachment.
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.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-ninth.
25,000 in Novi, MI- great rally!
This is the kind of hardball that no Republican prior to Trump was willing to play. It's about time!
When Trump wins, they’ll have to prosecute, convict and pardon. Otherwise, they’ll do time...they won’t let them do time. That would send the message that they don’t want to send.
That ought to be illegal. I thought you have been first convicted.
That is not the point.
Kitchen sink, hammer and tong, use a monkey wrench. Dirty her the hell up!! This is a bare-knuckle alley fight!!
I think Trump knows something is coming.
I got the same impression. He’s taunting her.
The Democrats fumed that Ford did not have the authority to grant a preemptive pardon and continued to pursue a Nixon witch hunt but they never found any evidence and never really formulated exactly what Nixon did that was criminal.
The reason Nixon resigned was because he had lost the confidence of the American people and could therefore no longer lead the country
You thought wrong.
Trump must be certain that he will be the next POTUS. I hope he is right or Hillary will have a vendetta against him.
would be nice an indictment for perjury or clinton foundation or or or...maybe COMEY/Lynch are taking too much heat and will cave? Maybe US Attorney in New York is going to drop paper?
anyone remember the saturday night massacre?
How about a reverse SNM where the DOJ gets ethics and does their job?

Let’s hope wiki has hacked emails from her while overseas, selling State Department approval on trade deals for Cash.
Especially the Uranium mining Agreement.
Or her running guns to ISIS in Syria.
Maybe John Kerry (Vietnam Vet) has pissed of Vlad enough this week they are playing their cards.
Because Obama is an Ahole, would do it out of spite and would do it just to thumb his nose at our law and order.
