I’m sure a pardon will happen. Hillary isn’t getting prosecuted and I don’t hold that against Trump. He said that during the campaign but that just isn’t how things work. What will happen is that President Trump will commission a blue-ribbon committee to study the case, a 500-page report will be generated detailing what all she did, it will make her look like crap, and that will be the end of it. When a new administration comes in, the previous members don’t get put in jail. Other countries do that, we don’t. All the talk of prosecuting GW Bush was just liberal masturbation fantasies, none of that was ever going to happen, that was just something to slam him with and try to rattle his cage. This is pretty much how Hillary is going to go, too. Any job that Hillary gets will be a no-show job. With her health, she’s in no condition to be a school crossing guard.

Spiro Agnew had enough sh*+ on him (WAY more than Nixon) to spend the rest of his life in the clinker but he was allowed to plead guilty to a single charge of tax evasion, paid a fine, and one of the conditions of the plea deal was that he resign as VP. This asshat made John Gotti look clean. Nixon didn’t trust or like Agnew and didn’t let him make any executive decisions whatsoever, so the post of VP was essentially a no-show job for Agnew. After he resigned (a year before Nixon resigned), he moved on to the private sector for a short time and then retired.

Why would she need a pardon? Both she and Obama claim that she has done nothing illegal.

This would be great! It would be acknowledging that Clinton is a crook and the only reason she wasn’t prosecuted under him is because his administration was protecting her. No equal justice for all. Trump can show how this is proof of the rigged system and a rotten Democrat party where the government is for the benefit of the elites at the expense of the masses.

Of course, if he does pardon her it’ll be to protect himself because his emails to her will come out after the inauguration.

An obama pardon for Hillary is the absolute BEST thing that could happen for Trump and the Republicans, and the absolute worst thing that could happen to Obama, Clinton and the Democrats.

Here’s why:

1. A blanket pardon for Hillary and some or all of her minions would be a MAJOR stain on his “legacy”.

2. Pardoning Hillary is likely to create a major backlash and likely to do MAJOR damage to the Democrat party as such a pardon is proof-positive that the Democrat standard-bearer did in fact commit major crimes and lied about it to the public. People will trust the Democrats even less than they do now, rightfully believing that the system is truly rigged for the elite, allowing them to get away with committing major crimes that ordinary mortals would be imprisoned for.

3. Pardoning Hillary removes a major tar-baby in Trump’s path that would otherwise distract him from his agenda. A pardon by Obama allows Trump and the Republicans to have talked tough without actually having to take tough action, while also blaming crooked obama and the crooked Democrats for tying their hands.

If he pardons Hill he will have to pardon Bill too.

The Clinton philanthrico foundation is under investigation.

STOP IT!

Hillary will never be CONVICTED of ALL her crimes in 70 days!

Obozo will be just a private citizen attending pizza parties with the Podesta brothers and have no power to issue pardons.

He can not issue pardons in advance. He can’t issue blanket pardons to people.

Hillary would have to hope Trump would pardon her.

After the “LOCK HER UP” refrain at all his rallies whenever Hillary’s name was mentioned, I don’t think Trump would dare pardon her, even if he wanted to.

My prediction. Obama pardons Hillary, and everyone else he can think of on Jan 18, then resigns, and Jan 19 Biden pardons Obama in his only official act as President. Then Jan 20, Trump voids 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.

**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.**

It’s not about punishing a political opponent.

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.
