He could give her a blanket pardon, which he probably will. That will protect her from all her past acts.Maybe, but Rudy will get them on the Clinton Foundation. The swamp is going to be drained.
Looked into it a bit this morning, that's what Ford did for NixonFor what, specifically.?
can he give blanket criminal immunity for all crimes committed?
I think that is what Nixon got. Kind of fitting.For what, specifically.?
can he give blanket criminal immunity for all crimes committed?
It would be. It puts an end to everything and lets everyone who pledged to continue off the hook.Clemency has to be on the table now. TBH I think it's a good idea.
He was pardoned for crimes while President, but a lot of her stuff comes after her term as SoS and, with the foundation stuff, as a private citizen. ILooked into it a bit this morning, that's what Ford did for Nixon
After Ford left the White House in 1977, he privately justified his pardon of Nixon by carrying in his wallet a portion of the text of Burdick v. United States, a 1915 U.S. Supreme Court decision which stated that a pardon indicated a presumption of guilt, and that acceptance of a pardon was tantamount to a confession of that guilt.[8]
Where's the fun in thatI despise her like no other politician but they need to move on...she got her criminal sentence yesterday...figure out a way to have the Clinton Foundation cleaned up and put this piece of garbage in the rear view mirror and worry about running the country...
Trust me...I would love to see this Mafia Boss be held accountable for her actions but we need to put her and her corrupt world in the garbage can and move forward...Where's the fun in that
The Clinton Foundation may be self cleaning. It will be interesting to see what the donations amount to in 2017.I despise her like no other politician but they need to move on...she got her criminal sentence yesterday...figure out a way to have the Clinton Foundation cleaned up and put this piece of garbage in the rear view mirror and worry about running the country...
I don't think Trump will pursue her but the Republicans have had a hard-on for the Clintons for a long time. I don't think they will move on.I personally don't think anything will happen.. Trump was using the Clinton hate to get the win and now that he has that he will move on.![]()
I'd think it will be hard for Trump to immediately abandon one of the central pillars of his campaign platform. We know he's going to have difficulty with the wall, renegotiating our national debt and defeating ISIS. Those are three big promises that are essentially impossible to deliver. He's got to take the low hanging fruit to save some face with his supporters.I don't think Trump will pursue her but the Republicans have had a hard-on for the Clintons for a long time.

Trump is going to have his hands full. He has got a ton of "on the job" learbing to do and he made a lot of ridiculous promises to the American people. I have a feeling the honeymoon won't last long if/when he can't deliver.
This. Hillary essentially ruined Obama's legacy. Obama will now give the most ultimate of F-yous......no pardon.No. He's all about his legacy and will turn his back on her steaming pile of crap.
I am guessing that repealing Obamacare will be #1 on Trump's list and his supporters will cream their pants over that.I'd think it will be hard for Trump to immediately abandon one of the central pillars of his campaign platform.

Regardless of her fate, I think a full investigation is warranted to figure out where the whole Foundation thing went wrong and provide a remedy and a restitution of any who were wronged, including, but not limited to the US taxpayers.I despise her like no other politician but they need to move on...she got her criminal sentence yesterday...figure out a way to have the Clinton Foundation cleaned up and put this piece of garbage in the rear view mirror and worry about running the country...
Bush made the same mistake and we got the travesty that was the Clinton Foundation and Hillary's horrible tenure as SoS followed by President Donald J Trump. That road has bad consequences for the American people.This. Hillary essentially ruined Obama's legacy. Obama will now give the most ultimate of F-yous......no pardon.
But IMO Trump would be a moron to try and pursue charges and try and jail her. You want to divide the country even further? Pursue an indictment for Hillary.
Hillary IMO essentially paid for her "crimes".....she lost the presidency. We should just move on.
I agree with this. I think the American public acted as judge, jury, and executioner last night. No reason to waste time/effort on this. It's over. Time to govern.I despise her like no other politician but they need to move on...she got her criminal sentence yesterday...figure out a way to have the Clinton Foundation cleaned up and put this piece of garbage in the rear view mirror and worry about running the country...
Then do it out of the limelight and issue a meat and potatoes report on the findings...do not turn it into a political circus...no matter how much of a scumbag she is nothing good will come from treating this as a touchdown dance...Regardless of her fate, I think a full investigation is warranted to figure out where the whole Foundation thing went wrong and provide a remedy and a restitution of any who were wronged, including, but not limited to the US taxpayers.
George W Bush was a mistake. We keep doing this...Bush made the same mistake and we got the travesty that was the Clinton Foundation and Hillary's horrible tenure as SoS followed by President Donald J Trump. That road has bad consequences for the American people.
And from reading about Nixon, that was the one thing he didn't like about taking the pardon. Ford held fast that he accept guilt or he was taking back the pardon.Interesting tidbit from the Nixon pardon
I am guessing that repealing Obamacare will be #1 on Trump's list and his supporters will cream their pants over that.
I believe Executive Privilege was a factor in that being possible. Don't matter - powerful people dont lose criminal cases.Looked into it a bit this morning, that's what Ford did for Nixon
You're talking to someone from Illinois. Plenty of powerful people from this state have gone down in flames due to criminal convictions.I believe Executive Privilege was a factor in that being possible. Don't matter - powerful people dont lose criminal cases.
What color is the sky in your world?I suspect a deal gets brokered where Obama and Hillary are saved, but Podesta, Teneo, and some slimy politicians all go to jail.
And if the Satanic / Child Pedophile Ring does exists, it needs to be taken down along with all of the people associated with it.
Okay I understand the child pedo stuff but what do you have against satanists?David Dodds said:I suspect a deal gets brokered where Obama and Hillary are saved, but Podesta, Teneo, and some slimy politicians all go to jail.

Coming from you this is ironic, to say the least.Okay I understand the child pedo stuff but what do you have against satanists?
This...especially when you realize that the Clintons and Obamas despise each other. He'll let her twist in the wind.Personally, I think there's no way Obama pardons Hillary. Why would he? Also, no chance she does any jail time.
He does not care for her, but he really hates Republicans, so he will pardon her just to spite them.This...especially when you realize that the Clintons and Obamas despise each other. He'll let her twist in the wind.
And then continue to watch their premiums go up. Can't wait to shove their noses in it.I am guessing that repealing Obamacare will be #1 on Trump's list and his supporters will cream their pants over that.
