SERIOUSLY???
This is your previous post and my response

TC: Be a good question for Trump to ask in the debates: Will Hillary accept a pardon from Obama before he leaves office?

MM: Hillary DOES NOT have the ability to reject a pardon. If Obama pardons her, she is pardoned, no matter if she objects

Now you've gone and changed the entire premise of the original question, in order to make a stupid comment.

You asked if Hillary will accept a pardon.

You SAID NOTHING about Hillary telling Obama not to give her one.

Two completely different actions.

Accepting would mean that Obama was the instigator of the action. He gave a pardon.
She accepts.

On the other hand preemptively refusing the pardon would mean that she is instigating the action.

ac·cept

/əkˈsept/

verb

verb: accept; 3rd person present: accepts; past tense: accepted; past participle: accepted; gerund or present participle: accepting

1. consent to receive (a thing offered).

In the end, Obama could and probably should pardon her, whether she "wants" it or not, just to cover his own a$$.
