Doesn’t look like Obama has any interest in pardoning Hillary

Does anyone know if one was issued? If it was, and it's not yet accepted by Hillary, could Donald cleanly rescind the offer?

I didn’t realize it was possible to turn down a pardon.

A pardon cannot be rescinded.

Hillary was never convicted of a crime.

Trump is apparently willing to let by-gones be by-gones as long as Hillary stays out of politics for good.

I don’t believe a pardon is based on whether it was accepted or not. If Obama felt the need to cover his own a** he could give whoever he wants a pardon, whether they “want” one or not.

She hasn’t, yet. But a pardon covers all discoverable crimes committed up to that day and time.

Seems like the only person that doesn’t know when to cut their loses with Hillary is Bill.

It’s possible that he gave her a pardon but didn’t announce it. She can then whip it out at anytime and try to walk from her crimes if it looks like she’s going to be convicted.

Yes, one has to accept it.

By accepting a pardon, you formally admit guilt.

If 0dungsh*t had pardoned Hillary, I guarantee you she would NOT have gone to Trump’s Inauguration to ‘kiss his ring’.

Conviction is not required.

Ford pardoned Nixon before an indictment.

A pardon must be accepted to be functional.

That was my thinking yesterday.

He’s not the President.

Have you not noticed?

Unless she someday has a felony conviction, she can run again.

I don’t understand your comment. He was the President and we all wondered if he’d offer a pardon.

“Does anyone know if one was issued? If it was, and it’s not yet accepted by Hillary, could Donald cleanly rescind the offer? “

I read earlier today that someone who was following this took a look at the DOJ Pardon List right after Trump took the oath of office and he said that there wasn’t anything on it about Hillary. I guess I don’t know if there is any way to “hide” a presidential pardon, but the poster seemed to be of the mind that if it wasn’t there it didn’t happen.

Old news from the 18th.

Why post this now?

I don’t understand why you chose to post this now.

A pardon does not need to be made public. Hillary could be in possession of a pardon now and not use it until she felt she needed to. At some point, it would become known from letters or archives, but that might be years.

A pardon, once delivered, cannot be rescinded, especially not by a person different than the one who issued it.

A pardon can be rejected, but that’s a completely different matter from its issuance.

If you are so clueless, why are you bothering to post on this thread, at all?
