If Trump hints that Hillary is totally safe, and then if Obama goes ahead and pardons Hillary “for whatever” it makes her look SUPER BAD.

And if Obama does NOT pardon Hillary — no need to, right? — and if Trump’s AG recommends and pursues investigations, then that’s just the way it goes, eh?

I see no downside.

You brought up exactly what I thought about this. Another smart move by Trump.

You have a great imagination!

Your extrapolations are pure science fiction.

No need to pardon her now, not that Obama was ever planning on it.

Trump's AG will do what his president directs him to do. In this instance it's drop the Clinton criminal investigations.

I see no downside.

Hillary Clinton escaping justice isn't a downside?

Interesting analysis.

I think that a Presidential Pardon would effectively end her political career. She might rather roll the dice.
