People need to study history more. Nixon was never charged with anything yet received a pardon from Ford.
Accepting a pardon does imply guilt. A pardon would finish her for sure. Probably a moot point at this stage.
I think Ford was wrong.
I’m not seeing that in the information about pardons. Is it somewhere else?

‘CNN Indicators Point to “YES”’
cnn has been 180 degrees diametrically opposite of reality for decades now. Therefore Clinton should be modeling horizontal stripe jump suits.
See the link I posted at 43. I don’t see anything about a pardon without being charged. I’m not saying you are wrong but do you have a credible link that says it is law that a president can pardon someone that hasn’t been charged from anything they may have done?
Precedent does not equal established law.
The presidential pardon is almost absolute. Like it or not, that is what it is. No charges have to be filed against someone. A president can pardon anyone for crimes they may have committed past or present.
The only limitation on the pardon is that a president cannot pardon for future crimes.
Wow. The spin creation is being mentioned right in the article.
Here’s my guess, Trump is so evil we have to do this to protect Hillary.
I doubt it was legal but it was never challenged. I lived through all that and people were just sick of it all. It cost Ford the election and the reason we ended up with the peanut farmer.
Very true. Whether we like it or not, that is the reality. And Obama can pardon her until 1 minute before Trump's inauguration, for any crime, past or present (just not future crimes) - and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop him.
Source?
Can you direct us to a link for the exact law about that?
Nixon was never charged. Ford pardoned him.
"A pardon can also be granted to a class of people, such as those involved in the Whiskey Rebellion. In US v Klein (80 US 128), the Supreme Court upheld such blanket or group pardons — President James Carter pardoned all Vietnam draft dodgers."
So what 'class of people' could Barry Hussein pardon? Illegals want Barry to pardon them, but the problem is they are citizens of another country! However, there are many dangerous, criminal, and guilty as seen groups that Obama could pardon. Use your imagination. That's when it get scary.
That’s not a link to the current law about presidential pardons.
What better way to convict a member of the mulatto bastid's administration than to use the evidence gathered BY that defunct administration ?
Trump is all about the art of the deal and great deals are made when the winner can say, "No, you DID do XYZ, look HERE"
Trump has come out on top for the last two years because he has been irrefutable.
I believe he has all evidence concerning the phony birth certificate and et cetera's.
seen = sin
Look it up on then delete your post
Bill and Chelsea’s names have never come up ... I wonder why ?
See Richard Nixon:
