He would be doing Trump a favor by pardoning her. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if it comes up at their meeting tomorrow.
agree it would be a favor to Trump. Trump should also force the dissolution of the Foundation.
That is what I said this morning. . It would give trump the excuse he needs not to prosecute.
Realpolitik. Yeah, I suspect that DJT wouldn’t be all that upset if zero pardoned hitlery. And fired Comey the Clown for good measure.
I agree. It looks vindictive and even banana-republic-ish to go after a defeated political opponent. (I'd still think the door would be open for civil proceedings against the Clinton Foundation.) It would arguably be a distraction and IMO the two Clintons are done for politically at this point. They are really both too old and too sick to run again. Chelsea could be pardoned -- which wouldn't help her political career outside of New York State, or, if not, prosecuted for her role in the Clinton Foundation.
But I don't know why Obama couldn't pardon all Clintons and all of their operatives for "any and all crimes, known and unknown".
How would he be doing Trump a favor? How can you uproot corruption without dealing with the crimes and criminals? So, he would be saying she is too big to jail? That is not doing himself a favor. He would lose the respect of those who elected and would be just another ‘Boehner’.
So, please explain how is he doing himself a favor?
