Editor’s Comment: Lest there be any more loose talk about prosecutions and investigations against the Clintons, there may be pressure on President Obama to sign off on a ‘blank check’ pardon for Hillary, for “any and all crimes she may have committed” during any time before/during/future.
After all, President Ford pardoned Nixon; it would be good for the continuity of the country, etc., etc. Federal government is so up to the top with corruption and criminality, that its partners and operators in Washington had probably rather sweep it all back under the rug, and endure a few weeks of groaning about such a politically motivated pardon. Hillary will eat crow again, and take the get out of jail free card. Anyone think different?
Big Surprise: Media Betting Obama Will Pardon Hillary Clinton Before He Leaves the White House
by Melissa Dykes
A lot of us figured this was coming, but now the mainstream media is predicting the obvious in print.
In a piece by contributor David Weisberg over at The Hill, he declares that Obama will make sure to pardon Hillary Clinton “for any violations of federal law she might have committed while she was secretary of state.”
Weisberg writes:
We should first note that the Obama administration’s decision not to prosecute Mrs. Clinton would not bind the Trump administration. Until relevant statutes of limitations have expired, she could still be prosecuted by the new administration. It is possible in my opinion for Clinton to be prosecuted for either her improper handling of classified information on “home brew,” or allegations of “pay to play” arrangements between the secretary of state and donors to the Clinton Foundation, which could constitute bribery.
The statute of limitations for most federal crimes is five years from the commission of the offense; that would apply to the two categories relevant to Mrs. Clinton. Her tenure as secretary of state ended Feb. 1, 2013, so it is possible that the statute of limitations will not run until Feb. 1, 2018, more than a year after Mr. Trump takes office.
Apparently, however, there is legal precedent for the acceptance of a pardon being equal to an admission of guilt. It was established by a 1915 U.S. Supreme Court case, Burdick v. U.S. which has never been overturned. In other words, if Hillary takes the pardon, she’s admitting she committed at least one crime she committed and needs to be pardoned for.
Then again, is it even likely Trump is actually going to prosecute Hillary anyway? Pretty much as soon as he won, he announced that he no longer planned to. Even Weisberg points out, “Since being elected, Mr. Trump has been remarkably warm towards the person he used to call ‘crooked Hillary’.” It’s been speculated Trump’s promise not to prosecute was part of the phone call ensuring Hillary would concede. Then again, they’d been pretty good friends for the two decades leading up to the election.
Weisberg goes on to say he thinks Obama’s pardon for Hillary is forthcoming. Why not. The White House won’t deny the option is being considered, even though, again, Trump has come out to say he does not plan to prosecute Hillary anyway.
Obama’s pardon of Hillary will probably be worded a lot like (if not exactly like) Ford’s Pardon of Richard Nixon:
Now, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.
Hillary’s pardon will be just as ambiguously worded, to make sure and cover anything and everything (and there’s a lot to cover).
As projected, it’ll likely be dated for her entire tenure as Secretary of State, too.

How can he pardon her as she has not been charged with a crime?
I do not go to church every time the doors are opened, but I love Jesus Christ. I am only human and fail Him daily. I believe Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was crucified on a cross, died for my sins and rose from the dead and that He loves us dearly, and is faithful to forgive us of our sins. But He says that if you deny me in front of your friends I will deny you in front of my Father. Can I get an Amen!

I believe that in order for this to work, she would have to admit to a crime.
She could admit to the least egregious and then Obama could go ahead and pardon her for ALL of them.

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907.

President Gerald Ford granted former president Richard Nixon a full and unconditional pardon ”for any crimes he might have committed against the United States while president.”
Nixon NEVER ADMITTED to any crime ...

… if Hillary takes the pardon, she’s admitting she committed at least one crime she committed and needs to be pardoned for.I can agree in principle with that statement….but that is a consequential after effect.
You were still wrong when you said:
I believe that in order for this to work, she would have to admit to a crime.I proved that:
President Gerald Ford granted former president Richard Nixon a full and unconditional pardon ”for any crimes he might have committed against the United States while president.”

Crimes of State: Will Obama Pardon Hillary Before Leaving Office?
He already has. The investigations have been manipulated into being centered on some silly emails instead of the fall of Libya and the subsequent facilitation of jihadists into Europe. For this, Obama, Hillary, and Merkel should be hung for crimes against Western civilization and humanity. If we had a president instead of an asshole, he would convene another Nuremberg trial and do it. If we had a president instead of an asshole. He wouldn't have helped jihadists conquer Libya.

Odumbass can't pardon Hillary Milhaus Felon or Rapey Billy for state crimes committed by them through their bogus 'foundation', registered as a charity in all 57 states.
All it will take is a few state AGs to get that ball rolling.

RICO. Get Obama and Podesta too.
