Would Obama Pardon Hillary Before Leaving Office?

Someone reminded us of Nixon having been pardoned, if only he would go.

If Hillary's pardon is the cost of her not entering the White House, I'd be willing to pay that price, just to keep her out.

More like Nixon.

Only Hillary is like Nixon on steroids. Nixon's political career ended over one scandal. Hillary has been embroiled in multiple scandals her entire political life.

Let's assume that Hillary is actually indicted and found guilty and that she is sentenced to jail before Obama leaves office. Would he pardon her?

You bet he would that or commute her sentence

Same here. if we can just end that crooked Clinton political dynasty, I could care less whether she goes to prison or not. She would just end up at an elite federal prison that is more like a country club then a prison.

If it were the only price, it would be fine. The alternatives are the real price here and they are too costly.

But it was not she that had to defend herself. It was the Presidents; first her hubby and then the other one.
 
All I hear is that there's nothing to see here. Ain't nobody mentioned smell...

Because you can't pardon someone for a crime until they've been convicted of a crime.

Was Nixon convicted before Ford pardoned him? I don't remember.

Edit: Sorry asked and answered earlier.

Are you sure? Barry would have to discuss it with his wife and I don't think that would go over too well.

They really dislike each other.

That's true, isn't it. And he was no more obviously naughty.

Really? So paying off the burglars that raided the DNC is just "naughty" to you?

I guess a prick without any humor would take offence at someone using a mocking word. But do say. Was that worse than using the IRS to inaccommodate political adversaries or misrepresent the use of private servers for top secret stuff? Relative to the severity of crimes that a President, Senator or SoS can commit, these things are no more than naughty. Unforgivable yes. A reason to bar further employment by government, certainly. But as crimes?

Yep. the watergate burglary was simply breaking and entering for the sake of spying on the democrat party. if Nixon had left it at that, it would not have become quite the scandal it became. His trouble was when he lied and obstructed justice while attempting to hide his part in it. As far as actual harm, the IRS and email scandals are much much worse.

Ultimately it brought out exactly how incompetent, dishonest, and corrupt Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration are. Hopefully it will prevent any future such **** ups.
