Obama can pardon her right now. No need to wait for Comey or the DoJ.
Obama’s vanity and desire for securing an enduring legacy might force him to throw Hillary under the bus. The question is what set of values will Obama resort to in making this decision.
He could which wouldn’t do wonders to her approval ratings in the polls. The might make a lot of fence sitters bolt from any consideration of Hillary.
That would tar with something she could not get rid of.
Gerald Fords pardon of Nixon was not legal.
Fact is , there is very little Nixon did that could have been prosecuted so the whole point was moot
Both sides were happy with the pardon
Ford was able to movd on as president
The Democrats were delighted to have run Nixon outof the White House and were not eager to challenge Fords pardon only to have disclose to the world that all they ever had on Nixon was trumped up BS
So he could issue a general pardon against all future charges.
Wow
Never mind.
