Why Donald Trump Should Pardon Hillary Clinton: It will drive her insane.

The Weekly Standard ^ | December 17, 2016 | Michael Graham

[2ndDivisionVet]

The latest Fox News poll shows 68 percent of Americans say President Obama should not pardon Hillary Clinton on his way out of the White House, and I agree. Donald Trump should do it.

One his very first day, with his very first pen, President Trump should sign his very first presidential proclamation: “We must put the politics of the past aside and unify our country. Therefore, for the many, many crimes and misdeeds she committed while Secretary of State, I hereby pardon Hillary Rodham Clinton." The left will never forgive him.

It's counterintuitive, I know. According to the poll, a paltry eight percent of Republicans want Hillary pardoned—but they're just short-sighted. I would ask the 87 percent who oppose putting Hillary in the same company as Marc "Most Wanted" Rich and Richard Nixon: Who are the only people who need a pardon?

Answer: Guilty people....

[GOPJ]

Hell no.

[Disestablishmentarian]

These never Trumpers were stupid before the election, during the election and are showing they are still just as stupid after the election.

> Trump’s AG needs to look into some of BO’s dealings too.

What Barack Obama has done as an enemy agent against our nation must be addressed. The problem is there are so many unconstitutional actions he took against his own peope it's lie where the hell do you begin? It would take a prosecutor years to piece everything he's done and gather evidence. That's the real reason I think they won't try to prosecute him. Because it would require an awful lot of ground work.

[ModelBreaker]

A pardon has to be accepted by the guilty person.

[Jmouse007]

Donald Trump MUST NOT PARDON HILLARY CLINTON! She is totally incapable of telling the truth or of keeping her word and EVERYTHING SHE SAYS AND DOES IS DONE IN ORDER TO FURTHER HER ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE OF BECOMING POTUS BY ANY AND ALL NEFARIOUS MEANS POSSIBLE, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK!

HILLARY through her paid surrogates and minions IS STILL SEEKING TO REACH HER OBJECTIVE VIA TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION THROUGH THE LUDICROUS VOTE RECOUNT, THAT DIDN'T WORK SO SHE TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND DONALD TRUMP BY BLAMING HER FAILED CAMPAIGN ON THE RUSSIANS AND PUTIN, THAT DIDN'T WORK SO SHE IS TRYING TO STEAL IT BY DIRECTLY THREATENING THE LIVES AND FAMILIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IN ORDER TO FORCE THE DECISION INTO THE HANDS OF THE ELITES IN THE SENATE. IF THAT FAILS, HER NEXT GAMBIT TO DELEGITAMIZE DONALD TRUMP, HIS PRESIDENCY AND ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION AND STEAL THE ELECTION WILL BE TO HAVE DONALD TRUMP IMPEACHED AS SOON AS HE TAKES OFFICE. THIS PLAN IS ALREADY BEING IMPLEMENTED BY HILLARY's MINION ELIZABETH ("Liawatha", "chief spreading bull") WARREN.

As if this isn't reason enough, WIKILLEAKS has provided email proof that THE FOLLOWING GOPE TRAITORS HAVE BEEN ON THE CLINTON CRIME FAMILY SYNDICATE's PAYROLL IN ORDER TO UNDERMINE, STOP AND DESTROY DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY AND CAMPAIGN S I N C E L A S T S U M M E R, UP TO THIS PRESENT TIME AND INTO TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY: Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Speaker Paul Ryan, and Carley Feorina... to name a few!

HILLARY CLINTON WILL HABITUALLY SEEK TO OVERTHROW DONALD TRUMP, AND OVERTURN THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS WELL AS THE ELECTION RESULTS AND CONTINUE TO DO EVERYTHING WITHIN HER POWER TO INSTALL HER SELF OR ONE OF HER GOPE SURTOGATES AS POTUS UNTIL AND UNLESS SHE IS ARRESTED, TRIED, FOUND GUILTY, SENTENCED AND IMPRISONED.

Donald, "WAKE UP AND "SMELL THE COFFEE": HILLARY CLINTON, ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE CLINTON CRIME FAMILY SYNDICATE ARE NOTHING BUT CRIMINALS. THEY M U S T BE TRIED, PROSECUTED AND PUNISHED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PROTECT THE REPUBLIC AND "DRAIN THE SWAMP" WITHOUT DOING THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE EPITOME OF EVIL, CORRUPTION AND LAWLESSNESS.

Millions of your supporters were screaming "LOCK HER UP!... LOCK HER UP!... LOCK HER UP!" because they knew this about her (AND HER ONGOING ACTIONS SINCE SHE LOST THE ELECTION CONFIRM THESE OVERWHELMING FACTS) and they want you to KEEP YOUR WORD about becoming the "Law and Order President"!

Reestablishing trust in American institutions, the legal and justice departments, and in the government of the United States DEMANDS THAT HILLARY CLINTON AND COMPANY BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THEIR CRIMES AND PROSECUTED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW!

FAILURE TO DO SO WILL PROTECT THE CLINTON'S AND ALL OF THEIR SURROGATES FROM THEIR INNUMERABLE HEINOUS CRIMES; EMBOLDEN THEM TO COMMIT FURTHER CRIMES AS THEY ARE NOW DOING IN SEEKING TO STEAL THE ELECTION FROM YOU; AND DEMONSTRATE TO OTHERS THAT THEY TOO CAN BREAK THE LAW WITH IMPUNITY BECAUSE IF YOU ARE POWERFUL, FAMOUS AND RICH ENOUGH: THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU! AND YES, I AM YELLING; IT IS CALLED "RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION"!

Mr. Trump, REMEMBER YOUR POEM "THE SNAKE"! You can't placate it, you can't coddle it, you can't ignore it; IT IS DEADLY; THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS DESTROY/SLAY IT!

THIS ANALOGY DIRECTLY RELATES TO HILLARY CLINTON, HER MINIONS AND BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON'S "CLINTON CRIME FAMILY SYNDICATE "FOUNDATION".

[Mike Darancette]

Obama will pardon them. Before year end surely.

[Leep]

And audit the entire klinton klux Klan incuding roger.

[cynwoody]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you had to be convicted of a crime in order to get a pardon?

This is a common misconception.

Here is a famous counter-example (boldface added):

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

Richard Nixon became the thirty-seventh President of the United States on January 20, 1969 and was reelected in 1972 for a second term by the electors of forty-nine of the fifty states. His term in office continued until his resignation on August 9, 1974.

Pursuant to resolutions of the House of Representatives, its Committee on the Judiciary conducted an inquiry and investigation on the impeachment of the President extending over more than eight months. The hearings of the Committee and its deliberations, which received wide national publicity over television, radio, and in printed media, resulted in votes adverse to Richard Nixon on recommended Articles of Impeachment.

As a result of certain acts or omissions occurring before his resignation from the Office of President, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States. Whether or not he shall be so prosecuted depends on findings of the appropriate grand jury and on the discretion of the authorized prosecutor. Should an indictment ensue, the accused shall then be entitled to a fair trial by an impartial jury, as guaranteed to every individual by the Constitution.

It is believed that a trial of Richard Nixon, if it became necessary, could not fairly begin until a year or more has elapsed. In the meantime, the tranquility to which this nation has been restored by the events of recent weeks could be irreparably lost by the prospects of bringing to trial a former President of the United States. The prospects of such trial will cause prolonged and divisive debate over the propriety of exposing to further punishment and degradation a man who has already paid the unprecedented penalty of relinquishing the highest elective office of the United States.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-ninth.

It was a poll of their viewers? That’s like taking a poll about Trump at the Washington Post.

[Secret Agent Man]

No.

I really want her locked up.

[enduserindy]

Her political career is over. Get her to role on soros and lock his ass up. Sounds better to me.

[RegulatorCountry]

You can’t drive someone to where they already are. Maybe drive her around in circles.

[enduserindy]

Pardoning Hillary will get Trump no political points from any supporters and hers will hate him anyway. It’s not worth risking his support. No instead make her and bill testify against the big dnc string pullers like soros. The foundation and its tax issues would not fall under that deal. Shut it down and strip it clean.

[enduserindy]

Hillary wouldn’t care. Bill would.

[reformedliberal]

Trial. Discovery. No matter the verdict, get every last bit of truth out there. And drain the CF to pay for her, Bill & Chelsea’s defense.

I actually think any jury would utilize nullification. Her masters would continue the threats, bribes and murders.

[Joe Boucher]

Pardon her?
HOw about Keel Hauling?

[trebb]

LOL! I prefer to let Sessions do what comes natural for an AG that believes in enforcing the laws of the land....

[Robert DeLong]

I didn’t say that, I said most likely. But the reality is it was a poll of a subset of those who actually voted in the election. We don’t know how the poll was actually conducted, as it doesn’t really give us any data other than the 68% figure.

[COBOL2Java]

Complete B.S.

The world does not work the way he thinks it does.

Hillary would laugh all the way to the bank, and it would completely embolden any others who think her way to fame and fortune makes a good blueprint for action.

This would be seen as a reward and a payoff, not a punishment.

It would severely damage the Trump presidency, and haunt him like a bad taco.

Precisely so. This stinkin' thinkin' is 100% pure GOPe on the author's part. It's a maneuver born of the Republican Bob Michel mindset:

Translate the author's motivation: We should do this, not to drive Hillary insane (she's already insane), but because we have to do whatever it takes to make the opposition like us.

[Just mythoughts]

From article: “First, he’ll be putting an end to an investigation that, thanks to BleachBit and the Clinton code of omertà, is almost certain to go nowhere.” Among other offenses, I would think BleachBit is almost certain to show obstruction.

Weiner's lap top was not 'bleached'. I have read that Congress has been given its own 'copy' of the so called, 'bleached' emails. And to my knowledge few of the 30 thousand plus, bleached emails have been released. We the people are owed a real Hillry Clinton show trial.

This coming from Kristol's outfit makes me wonder what he wants kept hidden.
