Big Eared Stompy-foot odumbo was always going to pardon her. She didn’t bait anyone and Trump knows this. Do you really think that Hillary would have gotten into this recount effort without knowing that? I don’t mean in any way to be disrespectful to your opinion. I’m just saying, I don’t think Trump was baited. It’s just the next move in the game that’s playing out.
He has to pardon her, or better not. This is a real problem for the Obama administration. The only way he can pardon a person for crimes she was never charged or convicted of, is a blanket pardon like the one Ford gave Nixon which covered all crimes during her government service, whatever they were.
But that sets up another greater issue. The secretary of state is aware of all the little secrets hidden in the administration. If anyone within the administration is called to congress, and she is brought before their questions, she cannot plead the 5th. The 5th is established for self incrimination. She cannot be incriminated as she has been alleviated of prosecution or incrimination of all crimes during the period in question. And hitting on “I don’t recall” is setting herself up for perjury. Can we say a rock and a hard place?
