White House won’t rule out Obama pardon for Clinton
Washington Times ^ | November 9, 2016 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 11/11/2016 1:27:57 PM PST by jonatron

The White House refused to rule out Wednesday whether President Obama might grant a pardon to Hillary Clinton to spare her from President-elect Donald Trump prosecuting her after he takes office.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Mr. Obama is hopeful that Mr. Trump will follow long-standing tradition of not punishing political opponents through the criminal-justice system. He said all clemency actions go through a formal process, and that will remain in place until the end of Mr. Obama’s presidency in January.

“The president has offered clemency to a substantial number of Americans who were previously serving time in federal prisons,” Mr. Earnest said. “We didn’t talk in advance about those decisions.”

He said Mrs. Clinton “has worked very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt for her service to our country.”

I heard that too. If she admits guilt then she also admits she LIED to the FBI and the American people and violated the law AGAIN by not removing herself from the Presidential race.

The Dems paid the ultimate price for riding the coat tails of their scandal-plagued candidate. Serves them right! Hillary was channeling Jim Jones and her followers blindly drank her Kool-Aid. We deserve this time of joy!

Absolutely. No comments to the press or tweets on the matter.

“background birth certificate lies”

Which would void the pardons.

we owe her a major debt for her service to our country. She serviced our country like a bull services a dairy herd.

I would say there is a 99% chance that Mr. Obama will give her a blanket pardon to cover her for anything that may have occurred during her tenure as Secretary of State and/or perhaps the entire time he was President.

It’s not about punishing a political opponent.

That is exactly what I would advise Trump. I also think that if Obama pardons Hillary, he has to pardon others involved with the email server and the Clinton foundation, including Chelsea. If the rumors are true that Chelsea is thinking about running for Congress, then starting a political career with the acceptance of a pardon hurts her chances.

Unless there is something I don’t know about, everything else was judgement calls and she could have just made an error. (Or, at least, that’s what they’ll say) But the email thing that was closed Nov 6 was the only investigation that possessed criminal intent per federal government. The Clinton Foundation possibles are for civil at this point as I don’t think the feds are doing anything about that, yet. And I hope she gets nailed there, too.

Rumor has it that Charles Manson and the remaining members of his murderous cult are applying to Obama for a presidential pardon on the grounds that they only killed a few more people than Hillary did at Benghazi.

Makes sense to me if you think like a Democrat.

To #47 and #47.

A “blanket pardon”. Didn’t know you could pardon inanimate things. Well, you learn something new every day.

Re “A stain on a stain is still a stain”. Who said that, “Monica Lewinsky”?

It’s important to remember, that these cretins lie to EVERYONE.

He’s going to lie to her so she won’t spill the beans about HIM before he has a chance to fade away... and won’t ruin his chances for UN roles.

These dems have no honor, even between themselves. Lest not forget what their treatment of Joe Leiberman showed us.

The MSM’s problem with Nixon isn’t that he wouldn’t admit guilt, because under the law he did. The MSM’s problem with Nixon is that he wouldn’t acknowledge the moral superiority of the New York Times/Washington Post/Walter Cronkite cabal and grovel before them.

And today’s MSM and legal pundits omit mention of Ex Parte Garland because they want to preserve their illusion that Ford’s pardon of Nixon was somehow illegitimate.
