After everyone from Jesse Jackson, to the terrified mainstream media to prominent Congressional Democrats have called upon Obama to issue a blanket pardon for Hillary Clinton, he finally admitted that it's not possible to pardon someone who hasn't yet stood trial for a crime. And while Obama was referencing a potential pardon of Edward Snowden with his comments, one could assume that the law should be applied the same way for all U.S. citizens.
I can't pardon somebody who hasn't gone before a court and presented themselves, so that's not something that I would comment on at this point. I think that Mr. Snowden raised some legitimate concerns. How he did it was something that did not follow the procedures and practices of our intelligence community. If everybody took the approach that I make my own decisions about these issues, then it would be very hard to have an organized government or any kind of national security system.

Yeah, that’s what everyone thought about Jason in “Friday the 13th”.
Just a small public display of what’s really going on. Negotiations over the amount Clintons pay for their (both) pardons. All its ever about is the money. Clintons haven’t offered up enough to satisfy obama.
brrrrr!
Figures Obama would talk of pardoning him and in praise of him.
Snowden needs to be hanged for treason.
At this point, I don’t anyone can figure out just what Obama will do. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
You are exactly right. The Clinton Foundation is gonna be hit hard for a transfer of funds to an offshore account. And it will have nothing to do with a charity. And maybe Soros will ante up as well.
Obama cant pardon her and maintain the “No significant scandal” mantra
That MAY be the law, and in a normal universe, the law would matter. Hellary has proven time and again that she is above the law and that the law is for us peons, but not her.
Even if he supposedly cannot legally pardon her until there has been a trial, the Repubs will not do a DAMNED THING if he decides to just pardon her anyway. To them, the only thing worse than Hillary walking free is for THEM to be accused of racism for disagreeing with Obama on anything.
THIS!
THIS is it!
“I can’t pardon somebody who hasn’t gone before a court and presented themselves,”
Legal BS from a supposed Constitutional scholar.
You say: “I dont think Obama is ignorant here, I think he is firing a shot across the Clintons bow. It is a message. It is all over, you will not be getting any more help from me.”
I think you are spot on.
The NYPD has ALL the lap tops, and other tech stuff - from Wiener’s - and there is, it seems, a whole lot more than gov’t stuff on them....which make what Wiener does child’s play...if fact, Wiener may be more under protective custody than in ‘rehab,’
The NYPD - and Rudy has a hand in it - did NOT destroy the evidence as Comey ordered. They have safeguarded it and fully intend to follow it up.
I seems there’s three separate components to these 600,000 + emails: the unsecured part; the espionage part (Huma and her parents, i.e. The Muslim Brotherhood) AND the child sex ring part, tying Hitlery, Bill and Huma in with the “Lolita” plane and trips to the island - I guess some pretty bad stuff.
This video was made just before the election - (BTW, did you know about the explosion at the power plant in Russia - in Murmansk,the major Navy base - on the very night of the election - had she won, we could well be into WW111 right now - they planned on starting war with Russia - another Clinton Wag-the-Dog war to push their crimes off the headlines..we dodged a very big bullet by winning. ) In this video, (there are others) by the next day, most of the pics had been taken off the net... I believe we are very damn fortunate Putin knows what’s really going on and he is not a hot head... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raDC-BBdefQ&t=231s
Now, as to what you are saying, O’Bama has no love for the Clintons’s. He is not, in any way, involved in these sex escapades; he’s been told this WILL come out - SO - if he doesn’t want to have his name forever linked with providing cover for these cretins, (and he may have been told HE’ll be left alone, if he DOES NOT give them pardons. (But no movement can be made on them until we have the changeover in the guard...I’m gonna take out some stock in popcorn)
SO - he’s claiming, OOPs, Sorry HIll - can’t do it. -
In this video - fast forward to minute marker 5:00 - report by Roger Stone.

Zero is a constitutional scholar who has never actually read the Constitution.
Pardon Hillary for what? Her supporters said she never did anything wrong!
If that ever occurred, and was proven up, that’d be better than a trifecta!! We could cast a wide net for so many!!
Yep, and Ibama is,as we all know, a ‘by the book’ kind of guy.
I don’t know about Trump not going after Obummer. I hope he looks into Obummer’s student records to see if he applied as a foreign student, then goes from there. This abomination should be exposed and be forced to flee from whence he came. It needs to make the history books that we need to be forever vigilant to prevent this kind of debacle again.
And maybe that 1.8 billion Hillary sent to Qatar is to be spread around to make restitution to the various irate middle eastern leaders. I thought it might have been her pension plan if she had to leave the U.S. in a hurry.
Wow, it this true?
We know he is a lousy lawyer, but not remembering the Ford/Nixon precedent is unbelievable.
Maybe he will leave the Clintons hanging.
