Looming FBI-recommended Hillary indictment will end Clinton "dynasty "
Is there a pardon in the wings for Chelsea and Bill?
CLINTONS: Talked their way out of multiple sunburn since the 1980s. The long nightmare is finally over.
A sitting President can pardon anyone - prior to indictment, after indictment, before or after conviction. There is precedent: Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon before he was indicted.
President Ford reasoned that the American public would not be able to countenance a former Commander-In-Chief sitting in a jail cell. Nixon's crimes were rather benign in comparison to the activist First Lady who became a modern day meddling Eleanor Roosevelt.
A second option and not a good one: Obama could de-classify Secretary Clinton's unsecured emails thereby giving her a soft pardon. But why would he do that? One can only imagine how that scenario would play out, for our secrets could become fodder for subpoenas and depositions. The gathering of critical information and their subsequent protection have most likely been been paid for in American blood.
To lessen the import of our secrets, in order protect the Clintons, would most likely put this country into crisis mode well beyond the scope of the waning Nixon years.
Having said that, and assuming he goes down the pardoning path, Barack Obama could extract a quid pro quo from the former First Lady and her husband. The narrative might go like this: "Go home, bake cookies. You Mr. Clinton, go coach a Little League team (preferably all male)."
However, Obama's "legacy" would be paired with Gerald Ford's who became known as Pardoner-In-Cheif.
Since the 1980s, the Clintons wiggled out of one sunburn after another.
Here's a short short list:
Clinton association with the Dixie Mafia, Hot Springs, Arkansas.
The Mena, Arkansas Cocaine Connection
Barry Seal
Pardoning of Dan Lasater
Stephens Brothers Investment Bank: A big bowl of skulduggery.
(Over 20 years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I broke a story about a Stephens Bros. bonding shenanigans on the Gulf Coast.)
Rose Law Firm
Web Hubbell
Whitewater.
Vince Foster Death
Various gates to include, but not limited to, Chinagate, Travelgate, and my favorite and most Machiavellian, Filegate.
The 100+ suspicious deaths associated with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
All this is googlable... (Is that a word?)
PS: And what of Huma Abedin: Hillary advisor/confidant/BFF. Whose known associates include the Muslim Brotherhood. Will Hillary arrange a pardon for the Muslim chick?
And what of Anthony Weiner, Huma's penis-Twittering husband. What does he know, when did he know it?
The difference between Obama’s potential pardon of Hillary and Gerald Ford’s pardon of Nixon is that Obama is not facing re-election. The pardon probably sank Ford’s election chances.
And there is opinion that Hillary can pardon herself after taking office in Jan 2017. She saves the huge bribe to the Chicago Mob.
It’s a very muddled part of the law, the kind the Clintons excel in.
Rats can wiggle out of very tight spaces
“First Lady who became a modern day meddling Eleanor Roosevelt.”
More like a meddling Ethyl Rosenberg
From rape to possibly even murder conspiracy, this scurrilous couple will never face justice and their daughter has been taught that she is also immune.
The only question is whether Huma Weiner, Susan Rice and others will be scapegoats or get pardons too.
That 70’s recession would have sunk anyone’s re-election chances regardless of Ford’s pardon.
she is wiggling out of it by having her lackeys claim that there was a ‘culture of overclassification’ where documents were ‘overclassified’, and that it was all ‘very confusing’ and that ‘no one really knew what was what’
