Killary is in very poor health. I’m sure the election process has taken a huge toll on her, particularly with all the meds they have pumped into her. She will drop from sight. Well, if she can – she may have a lot of testimony to give.
Left Coast Dan, she’s about to become magically, medically unfit to stand trial. All the illness she’s been hiding will now be revealed to serve her legal maneuvering.
LC Dan,
I sure hope Trump gives his justice dept the go ahead in prosecuting this case. I have a feeling he will let her off and not pursue it unfortunately.
To see them prosecuted and jailed would be a dream.
If Trump goes after her he will be seen as a petty and vindictive bully, and Obama can just pardon her anyway. Probably better to just let her twist in the wind. With her regrets.
Hello swamp?
This is your landslide wake-up call.
No, you can’t press snooze.
Obama can’t pardon someone that is not charged with anything.
You simply wait until Trump is president. Obama can’t help her then.
“Obama can’t pardon someone that is not charged with anything.”
I believe that to be true, seems logical, however either Rush or Tom Sullivan stated that, and then the next day said they were wrong.
No. They weren’t.
You can’t pardon someone for something they didn’t do.
Unless they want to admit to the world that she broke the law and should be in jail, there is nothing to pardon.
You can’t simply anoint someone a blanket pardon-
“whatever this person does in the future she is pardoned.”
It doesn’t work that way.
And is Obama going to issue a pardon for a laundry list of possible offenses?
The Clinton Foundation alone could have dozens of charges associated with it… some we don’t even know about.
You can’t anoint someone a complete Untouchable based on what they can possibly find on her in the future.

Yes, he can. The Supremes ruled on this in 1866.
Gerry Ford used this decision to pardon Nixon, who was not convicted of any crime. At the time, that was very controversial because it admits his guilt in an indirect way. Ford felt that it was better for the country. He was right.
The question still remains as to whether a President can pardon him/herself. Don’t know. Nobody has tried…..yet.
P.S. The President IS limited to Federal crimes and even they have limitations. He can’t interfere with state crimes or certain felonies like if somebody went all Ted Bundy. There are a number of limitations, but Hillary’s mishandling of classified materials would probably be pardonable.
Perfect BFH.
Remember the Bill Clinton version of Tubthumping?

I, too, thought that you can’t pardon someone who hasn’t even been indicted, but just to be sure I looked it up before I commented. Turns out, yes you can.
In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Garland that the pardon power “extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.”
As sistyugler1 pointed out, the most recent example of this is President Ford’s preemptive pardon of Nixon.
“No. They weren’t.
You can’t pardon someone for something they didn’t do.”
Somebody better call the White Hut and let them know because apparently they’re thinking about it.
LOL!
Somebody please get her shoe!
Hillary’s Schlong Song lol

I expect the Clintons to take a ‘pill’ and end it. They are totally useless now.
