Is it possible that this was the only time this information could be released for it to stick to the Clintons. If she got elected then everyone would have run for cover for their own safety because she would have been in charge after January. It will be interesting to see how Obama will handle the pardoning aspect here. If the FBI drags the investigation over past the inauguration of Trump, then all bets are off. I don’t think she can be pardoned for something she hasn’t been charged with yet. I think that is what the Clintons are pushing for. She wants to be charged between now and January, not later.
there have been no less than ten and likely more than 20 posts in various threads reminding people of nixon’s pardon
