“There’s also this sneaking conspiracy in my mind that says Obama has had a plan to elevate Biden all along WITHOUT Biden having to go through the primary process which he might not have won.
The create a crisis...the indictment of Hillary or the leaking FBI of a thousand cuts...the convention turns elsewhere and who is there and ready?”
Post of the day.
Obama holds all the cards in this play of palace intrigue, and you know good and darned well that he’ll play every one of them to his greatest advantage.
Let us not forget that he holds the ‘get out of jail free’ card, as well. Hillary WILL get her mind right about all this when the time comes. In fact, she may have already done so. After all, she’s only running to stay out of prison anyway.
Your theory is not only plausible, I think it’s probable.
Jerry Ford pardoned Nixon BEFORE there was any indictment or trial etc. I think Obama will use the same analogy, and say there was no criminal intent. That it is political issue that he feels gives unfair advantage to the republicans etc etc.
I think the media and public will scream. She might even refuse the pardon, but ask that it not be brought up during the campaign.
Bottom line, he will pardon her, or declare the matter off limits until after the election. The media will insulate her from this being an issue, and will not ask her during the debates or otherwise.
Either way, it will hurt her big time.
I'd settle for what the Rosenbergs got for the crime of espionage. That's what Hillary is guilty of.
I believe that under Martial Law, an election can be cancelled. (Just what I’ve read here on FR in the past.)
How is not having a democratic candidate tantamount to declaring Marshall law?
Hillary will have her "deal" by the convention and will resign (for health reasons) after the convention is over. You will know this if she picks a very strong VP.
“How is not having a democratic candidate tantamount to declaring Marshall (sic) law?”
I’m not sure I understand your question. What I posted wasn’t what you inferred, but I may not have been clear. I just think he’s not above manipulating any situation to hold on to the perks he has as President. An election with a candidate-less major party could throw the balance of things into a tizzy. It wouldn’t be “tantamount to”, declaring Martial Law, but more like “a reason to”.
This from Ben Carson:

given that a charge could be filed, is there any way that a replacement ticket could get onto the general election ballots of all the 57 states? to my knowledge Biden has not filed anywhere. does he have time?
such as Joe Biden?
We haven’t cancelled an election in this country through Civil War, World Wars etc. Why would we cancel if it turns out one of the candidates turns out to be a crook?
The other side wins by default.
What if three days before the election a candidate is killed? Other side wins.
Si, exactly so. Can you imagine how pissed Sanders will be to discover that the Democrats nominated a confessed felon just to keep him out.
Nothing will happen to Hillary
>>Possibly a way to extend the Obama presidency based on one party’s incapacity to field a candidate for a yet undetermined period of time.
There’s nothing in the Constitution that says that there has to be a Republican and a Democrat on the ballot.
-—Indict. Convict. Imprison.

Let me correct that for you:
Indict, Pardon, end of story
Whatever. I give up. Sorry I ruined your day.
You can’t ruin my day. Did we have a failure to communicate here? :-)
Hillary’s indictment is safely on file, in the crate behind the Ark of the Covenant.
Perhaps. ;)
