Conway: It's Not Up to Trump Whether Clinton Is Jailed

Lock her Up (we expect the $$$$$ & uranium returned.)

[A CA Guy]

He said he would get a Special Prosecutor on the case.

[Gay State Conservative]

No,he could not single handedly lock her up.But he could instruct his AG to appoint an Independent Counsel and if he/she refused he could fire him/her.

[CatOwner]

Defuses the meme that Trump is playing judge and jury, while at the same time acknowledging there are legal matters for Hillary that need to be prosecuted. I like it. I think this, plus the anti-religion bias, plus the alienating Bernie supporters should be constantly pushed into the news.

[ZULU]

Yes. They are cherry-picking the narrative as usual.

[Romulus]

You can take it to the bank that if she wins she is coming after him.

[Buckeye McFrog]

And will never happen anyway because January 19 is gonna be PARDONMAGEDDON

[MUDDOG]

Indict her on treason and deny bail.

[Eddie01]

In the left’s lawless world of course Trump could lock her up just like how Hillary locked up the awful internet video maker.

The left doesn’t understand law and order so they genuinely tilt their head to one side like a dog when someone suggests it.

[Bob]

While I could easily be wrong, I don’t believe that a pardon can be granted without a conviction having occurred.

[RegulatorCountry]

She could be granted blanket immunity from future prosecution.

[CMailBag]

These dumb a$$e$ have absolutely NO sense of humor.

[Yo-Yo]

You’re right, Ms Conway, it isn’t up to Mr. Trump whether Clinton is jailed. It would be up to a jury or a judge after a fair trial, which was preceded by a thorough investigation into the entire email fiasco by a congressionally-approved Special Prosecutor.

But you know what, Ms Conway? It is up to President Obama whether he grants Clinton a blanket pardon and makes all of this go away.

[bigbob]

He needs to get one for Comey and Lynch too.

And for Missus Weiner.

[Alberta's Child]

Ford issued a blanket pardon for Nixon even though Nixon was never even indicted -- let alone convicted.

This whole story is irrelevant because Obama will issue similar pardons to anyone involved in the Clinton escapades, regardless of whether she wins or loses the election.

[itsahoot]

You are wrong Bob, think Nixon-Ford.

[heterosupremacist]

Conway had to practically spell it out for the LIV/Undecideds ... HA!

[crz]

I havent seen her convicted yet have you?

Cant pardon if she hasnt been charged and convicted yet.

That is why they are dragging their feet...and we BETTER GD WELL get Trump in as POTUS.

[DarthVader]

Not if the IA gets implicated himself. And from what I see on WikiLeaks he can be indicted too.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I don’t believe that a pardon can be granted without a conviction having occurred.

Ford pardoned Nixon as his first act upon taking office in 1975. At that point Nixon had been convicted of nothing. POTUS can absolutely issue them pre-emptively.
