Hillary’s Pardon – Will He or Won’t He? CNN Indicators Point to “YES”
Conservative Treehouse ^ | January 13, 2017 | Sundance

Will President Obama pardon Hillary Clinton before he leaves office?  A question curiously non-discussed in the media.

However, when you accept that CNN’s broadcasted narratives, ie. the preferred positions of the U.S. Department of State, are generally good predictors of the political forecast, all signs point to yes.

I wouldn’t waste time on Hillary....I’d go after the Clinton Foundation and drag it through the court. More than enough evidence to dismantle it and force some people to face a judge.

Those two would throw anybody under the bus if they needed to. Without a blink or a tear.

Ought there not be a trial and a conviction before any talk of a pardon?

You have highlighted only a small portion of the pardon’s conditions. Ford also specified precise time limits. Off the top of my head, 20 January 1969 through 9 August 1974, the exact time that Nixon held the office of president.

I have often seen people on FR claim that Obama can do exactly what Ford did for Nixon, but there has almost never been a discussion of time limitations. Even if he were to limit the pardon for the time from when Hillary became SoS to 20 January 2017, the foundation is still operating, and I would presume is still in violation of federal law.

If these other clowns were ever called on the carpet, I wonder if they would sing like canaries, or go down without a fight?

You are missing the point. Charges were made, and Nixon first denied then confessed his guilt. He did not, and could not pardon himself. Ford could not pardon Nixon until he was sworn in as President.

This has no bearing on the Obama/Clinton issue. She has not been charged with criminality, and therefore cannot be pardoned for anything. However, when Donald Trump is invested with the office at inauguration, his appointed advocate can then place the charges.

However, at that point Obama no longer has any power to grant a pardon to anybody for anything except being offended by poor social manners.

Ford committed an error and we should not be bound by it.

If CNN told me it was Friday, I’d check a calendar.

I would have no problem with Obama pardoning her. It would imply guilt. Good enough for me. The foundation? Her Lieutenants? Go for it. The cooled drinkers need to know the price of not having a conscience.

Another possibility that is rarely considered is a grant of immunity.

She hasn’t been charged with anything so what is he going to pardon her from?

Pardons may be issued to anyone for any crime, indicted, known, or unknown.

I don't know what the burr under your saddle is, but Obama can't pre-pardon any charges that haven't yet been formally made, charges that might later be placed after he is out of office.

I really would like to see Mrs. Clinton be fined and serve time for what I see as her treasonous behavior, defalcations with government funds, and criminal negligence of handling highly sensitive national security information. Obama will never allow such charges to be placed. That is not a pardon. That is sovereignly refusing to prefer charges.

Good. Let’s hope that the pardon is granted.

Take a careful look at what a pardon does and does not do. And then think about what plan B could entail.
