Hillary's crime worse than the cover-up

Donald Trump should have offered Hillary Clinton a pardon instead.

That way he would have appeared more magnanimous than mean.

After all, President Gerald Ford did pardon ex-President Richard Nixon in 1974 over the Watergate break in scandal.

And, like Clinton and her lost and destroyed classified emails, Nixon was never charged in court with any crime. He resigned only after he faced impeachment and removal from office. The criminal charges would have come later.

If Obama doesn’t pardon her, why would President Trump do so?

Not a bad debate tactic - spend two minutes reading out the details of the offenses he is pardoning - for the good of the country. :)

When Ford pardoned Nixon, a lot of people were outraged because the lower-down people were going to prison and the guy at the top was getting off.

A lot of Trump's support is from people mad at how the system is rigged and there is no longer any pretense of "equal justice for all"--so to offer a pardon would just mean "business as usual" even if he wins.

For the good of the country Nixon resigned. Hence, he was pardoned. What has Hillary done for the good of the country to receive a pardon?

She and her posse, clan, family, etc., need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It is the only way future gooberment officials will receive the message that gooberment corruption will not pay!!

And ALL of their pay-to-play loot recovered from them via fines AND his government pension stripped from him. Let them eat dog food on Social Security the rest of their stinking lives.

I am thrilled this election cycle that so many have had the scales fall from their eyes so they can clearly see how corrupt and treasonous these scum are. But I am dismayed to see how many will vote for her nevertheless.
