White House open to a Clinton pardon
2016-11-10
[NYPOST] The White House isn’t ruling out the possibility of Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by normal people as a crook...
 receiving a last-minute pardon from President B.O. -- even though she hasn’t been charged with a crime.
Because corruption clings to corruption.
Asked at Wednesday’s press briefing whether Obama had considered utilizing his unique executive power, press secretary Josh Earnest was cryptic.

"The president has offered clemency to a substantial number of Americans who were previously serving time in federal prisons," Earnest said.

"And we didn’t talk in advance about the president’s plans to offer clemency to any of those individuals and that’s because we don’t talk about the president’s thinking, particularly with respect to any specific cases that may apply to pardons or commutations," he added.

#16  She lied to Congress and it is provable.

If Obama doesn't pardon her Trump should have a special prosecuter (or whatever they are called) look into things. To be super-overly fair put some super-lefty on it like Elizabeth Warren in charge. If Warren wants to bury the evidence its on her and the Democrats for all to see. If Warren wants to be honest about it than Trump looks good for staying out and giving Hillary the most unbiased prosecutor possible.

Rule-of-law and yet bi-partisan.

#15  In all seriousness, I am sending Trump a letter asking to be the next IRS commissioner. It will be in the mail by Monday.

#14  I'm hoping IRS Director John Koskinen will soon be assigned to a newly created IRS liaison position on Johnson Island.

#13  make the Clintons and their criminal enterprise disgorge any ill-gotten gains from their vast pay-for-play scam. Openly embarrass the Goldman Sachs of the world for buying influence. Put a newly reformed IRS on their Foundation

#9  Giuliana should have a discreet word (face to face) with Obumbles or one of his key horse handlers about the possibility of additional Wikileaks emails surfacing, with Obumbles clandestine SN attached. Perhaps handing him one or two as examples, along with a knowing smile would keep the monkey pawed bugger at bay.

Disestablish the Foundation and let 'Father Time' and the Mayo clinic have their way with the Beest. Putting her behind bars has a certain appeal, but establishing a leftest martyr has no appeal at all.

Yes, she is the personification of evil and corruption, but unfortunately she has a rather large following. It is the following that I am now concerned about.

#7  Dear Obean, you can pardon federal crimes, but not state and local. There's plenty of dirt to go around. Your and her best bet is in 60 days, is to bring her in on charges, plea no contest, take the penalty (for a long list of abuses), then pardon her, protecting her under the double jeopardy exclusion. Then, of course, while she won't do any time, the record will show all the criminal convictions.

#6  Obama, should I quote you by saying we won as in "We The People". A pardon will not be your call.

#5  At this point in time, there is nothing to pardon her for. Maybe once things settle down Obama can consider such a thing (after Jan. 20th) in his quiet solitude in obscurity while he is contemplating his lost legacy.

Me, I'm going to celebrate our second Independence Day for a short while, it's the day the globalists were forced to lift their boot from our necks. Wish that evil old bastard Soros would follow the name of his cancerous organization and "Move On."

#3  Pardoned for what exactly? I thought the FBI Director called her Madam Clean.

#2  Rezko, Blagoiavich (or however that mop-haired asshole spells his name) - who else?

#1  Obama will pardon her, because once a conviction looms, she will drag down anyone she can, and I doubt Obama is completely clean.
