Donald Trump is demanding that President Obama not pardon Hillary Clinton if she’s indicted in the e-mail scandal.
“[H]ere is the demand I am making today to President Obama,” Trump said in front of an energetic crowd at a rally Friday in Michigan.
“Will you pledge, here and now, not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators for their many crimes against our country and society itself?”
Trump added, “No one is above the law. Not even Hillary Clinton.”
“Clinton and her cronies will say anything, do anything, lie about anything to keep their grip on power – to keep their control over this country,” he said....

Mr. Trump, once you’re president will you pledge not do like W and say “I think we should move on”?
The POTUS’s pardon power is plenary for any federal offense. The only thing that can stop him in this matter is public opinion, and this narcissist might not be concerned about that overmuch. It is MAD (mutually assured destruction) between these two. Each one has the goods on the other.
I bet that Trump will issue a legal challenge to any pardon of ILLARY and it will go all the way up to the Supreme court. I imagine the verdict will be that anything a president can do can be undone by another president. It may not be a good precedent in the long run - but if we can get the Clintons it will be more than worth it.
Lock her up!!!!!
Lock Bill, etc. up, too!!!!
PHOOEY!!!!
Actually what she needs is a blanket party.
“Can Obama give a Blanket Pardon that would cover Everything Hillary ever did or would he have to list them ?”
Ford gave Nixon a blanket pardon.
That is perfect. When was the last time the republicans went full-force on offense?
“Obama will issue a pardon about 9 am on Jan 20, 2017. Remember he’s president until noon that day. A Trump administration will find its legal hands tied by this pardon. It will happen.”
yep.
Congratulations Mr. Trump - this is EXACTLY what needs to be said.
“How can someone be pardoned in advance if they haven’t been convicted of anything?”
Presidential power to pardon is nearly unlimited.
OK thanks
Problem is, Obama is a co-conspirator.
Should be interesting what powers Obama has if they prove he is an illegal president.
I stand more of a chance being indicted in her E-Mail scandal, then she does.
So hillary could walk out to a debate draw down on Trump pull the trigger send him to his maker and all would be pardoned Bull Shit
Brilliant.
No it’s not.
An Executive Pardon can be removed via an executive “action” or “ordor”.
Kinda like how obamoa has been ruling us for the last 7 1/2 years.
It’s just no president hasn’t done this in recent history
Damn spellcheck.....
