For once I agree with Jackson.

An Obama pardon for Hillary is the absolute BEST thing that could happen for President 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, permanent stain on Obama’s “legacy”; basically the explanation point on his failed policies that will soon be undone and/or fixed by President Trump.

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 repeatedly lie 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 President 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 being able to blame crooked obama and the crooked Democrats for tying their hands.

So, Obama, I say go for it while you still can!

A Clinton pardon wouldn't be a factor for the voters Democrats rely on.

The media would do their best to downplay it -- and they have four years to bury it.

A pardon would not protect PIAPS from attempting to claim the 5th when brought to testify on other crimes & misdemeanors.

So you get a two-fer: Hussein's legacy sealed; swamp drained.
