Sometimes its good to have a president who is ignorant of his pardoning powers and history. Or maybe he just hung Hillary out to dry.
I don’t think he ever liked Hillary, but he is trying to pretend he likes her to retain his support.
I believe H.W. Bush pardoned Caspar Weinberger before he stood trial. I don’t think Weinberger was ever even indicted.
I don’t think Obama is “ignorant” here, I think he is firing a shot across the Clinton’s bow. It is a message. It is all over, you will not be getting any more help from me.
Let us now see what the Clint-bots do. Should be fun.
LOL
Must be bad news for Hillary and her minions
NOTHING....I BELIEVE NOT A THING FROM HIM OR ANY OF THEM. The check just hasn’t cleared yet.
Or Carter group-pardoning the draft evaders.
He has no further use for her. But she still knows where lots of bodies are buried. He is trying to decide about his legacy here. Could get real interesting.
He's going to pardon her.
I think it’s the latter. There’s no love lost between those two. It was a marriage of convenience. Nothing more.
Hillary is of no use to him any more. And whatever she might have on him, probably won’t make any difference at this point. And he may very well have far more on her.
Who can say.
The two are competitors now. Time for the Clinton foundation donors to re-direct their money. What he doesn’t realize, is he has nothing to sell like Hillary had as SOS.
He also said he couldn’t change immigration policy through executive orders. 23 times he said it. The he did it.
Certainly impossible until at least January 20, 2017.
As POTUS, he can pardon anyone for anything at anytime he pleases. He just doesn’t want to today. We’ll see come January 19th.
He sure as hell can and he knows it. Obama is lying again. He can even issue a pardon for crimes committed within a certain time range.
It was done for Nixon. It was done for the draft resisters who fled top Canada.
Clinton made numerous pardons. Bush I pardoned a slew of Iran Contra types.
Obama will lie till the day he is gone.
I really hope Trump follows through and gets that effin’ bitch indicted. Look at the extreme danger we faced: We came THIS close to having a multiple FELON as POTUS! And she IS a felon, just because we have an extremely corrupt Justice dept. doesn’t mean she isn’t. A message has to be sent - ALL corruption must be dealt with severely because THAT is the greatest threat to our freedom. Her election would have legitimized corruption and she would have went to town, this country would have been OVER. We must NEVER find ourselves in that same situation again so he has to send that message. Get-her-butt-indicted ASAP.
Unbelievable. He is just so totally wrong but I hope he keeps that view and Hillary is left unprotected.
He has to pardon her so he is never called to testify. He must keep hidden what he has done.
Nixon was pardoned before trial.
Let’s not be stupid Mr. Obama. Just drop the charges.
Øbongo has never been correct before so I’m not surprised when he misspeaks now.
