Why Donald Trump Should Pardon Hillary Clinton: It will drive her insane.
The Weekly Standard ^ | December 17, 2016 | Michael Graham

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....

Driving her insane would be a short trip.

But, no. Lock her up!

Don’t be more stupid than usual.

Trump should get his AG to prosecute her for everything including jaywalking.

She’s already insane.

Throw her ass in prison for the rest of her worthless existence.

First investigate and have the charges ready ... then maybe pretend like you are thinking of pardoning, but in the last analysis, decide that sends the wrong message to pardon her, which it does.

Then let her die in prison.

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

The new DOJ should not be hindered in doing it’s job. If hillary gets taken down hard, it will be a message to government that they cannot get away with crime which would be a very, very good thing.

That would drive me nuts and on a more serious note I would consider it a betrayal of the trust that we the voters gave to Mr. Trump.

Though I can see a good burn in a pardon if it looks as if prosecution isn’t in the cards.

Wrong. She would simply say she didn’t need it because she didn’t do anything wrong, but will take it because some “rogue prosecutor” might someday try to indict her for political reasons. And being the sociopath she is, she would probably believe it.

Frankly I’m tired of hearing reasons the Clintons shouldn’t be subject to the same laws and punishments the rest of us are. Lock her up!

NO NO NO NO and all I read was the title. No. This is like liberals who think that bending over backward to Islamic extremism will endear them to us by showing how tolerant we are. It doesn't have that effect. It just convinces them that Allah is on their side.

Pardon Hillary and she'll react the same way, "See, the universe protects me because power is my birthright!"

Why Trump should grant extradition of Hillary and Barack to Egypt: it is the morally and ethically right thing to do.

More establishment GOP thinking of cheap tricks instead of doing the right thing. For example:
picking Condi Rice because of the ‘look’
supporting amnesty so that Hispanics will like us
‘compassionate conservatism’

Weakly Standard.

Enough said.

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.

There was a precedent set with Nixon, the courts affirmed it. Probably a mixture of the oligarchy protecting their own, and nobody wanting to deal with the mess it would cause.
