What is at stake is nothing less than the idea, rooted in the Magna Carta, that the legitimacy of the state rests upon both the rulers and ruled being equally subject to a Law that is larger than any individual. The law, like God, must not be a respecter of persons.
The corruption and lawlessness that permeates this society emanates from the top and has trickled down. There is lawlessness on the streets of Chicago and in the boardrooms of Wall Street because of the lawlessness of those in the Oval Office and other corridors of power. Restoring peace and justice to this nation must begin at the top.
It was a mistake to pardon Nixon. It would be a much bigger mistake to pardon Hillary Clinton. If she "wins" such an act will destabilize and delegitimize the state.
If Trump wins he should rescind any such pardon and allow the wheels of justice to spin unrestrained.
OMG! I’ve been thinking lately for all the info I was reading that I was missing a piece of the puzzle, and I just found it. I wasn’t aware of all this pardon stuff. I am mad beyond belief.
Please tell me it is true what you say. Can President Trump rescind the pardon?.
I read the link sent by someone before, and it appears clear to me that Obama can pardon Hillary and all her circle even if not yet prosecuted, indicted, etc. for ALL their crimes already committed (not future ones). Also, if Hillary wins she can pardon herself and there can be no impeachment for crimes committed before becoming president.
