Does Hillary not have to be indicted and convicted before she can be pardoned? I don’t understand why even 1 classified email is not enough why do we need thousands. How many treasonous acts does it take to call it treason!
Ford pardoned Nixon without him being tried and/or convicted, so I would say that, yes, Obama can pardon her.
I'm not so sure he'd do it, though. Moochel would probably make him sleep in dog house forever if he did.
Nixon was not indicted, not convicted, but was given a preemptive sweeping pardon.
Well to be fair we are talking about the lawless Clinton’s. But my understanding was the moment she sent “secure” E’mails thru and “unsecure server” she broke a Federal Law...
But then I am not a lawyer...ha ha...nor do I play one on Free Republic.

Oh...if you are in North Carolina...why is there all the hubbub about the dang bathroom law? Cripes I understand if you were born a male you use the male bathroom according to the law...makes perfect sense to me cause no matter what hormone treatment and added or whacked off stuff..your X and Y Chromosone count says you are male with “cosemetic surgery” but there Again I am now a lawyer...LOL
Ask Gerry Ford about that.
The issue that will sink her is the racketeering. That is what is taking the FBI time to document thoroughly. The Clintons used a Canadian foundation to try and obscure the money trail. They never counted on the FBI reading their emails off the private server,
That was their Achilles heel.
“Does Hillary not have to be indicted and convicted before she can be pardoned? “
From what I’ve just read, a Presidential pardon can be issued before any litigation has commenced, while it is in progress, or after the party has been convicted.
If that’s the case, then there needs to be something that’s withheld that is a different law being broken, so that the pardon doesn’t keep the individual from being prosecuted on the separate issue. Go President Trump, put Hitlary in the slammer! Slick Willie (and his willie-willie) with thank you profusely.
No. Ford pardoned Nixon even before any charges were alleged against him.
It is not about emails, it is about BRIBERY of Secretary of State for Foreign contributions to the Clinton Foundation.
Think Nixon.
