pardons will be issued and you make the assumption that there will be a party change in 2016 and further assumption that that party will want to do anything with the issue, because at this point. what difference would it make?
I remember when George Bush said when he was asked about all the Clinton scandals and possible breaking of law:
“What difference does it make?”
Well, actually he said “I think we just move on.” Just another way of saying it.
Not if ONE republican has an IQ over 100.
Pardons cannot be issued "preemptively." All that needs to happen is NOT to issue an indictment, nor any document or legal order that leads to a indictment, against any party likely to be unequivocally guilty, until after Obungo is out of office.
If everyone in the State Department is pure as the driven snow, no harm, no foul.
