Trump demands Obama promise not to pardon Clinton
Source: CNN
Novi, Michigan (CNN)Donald Trump on Friday challenged President Barack Obama to pledge not to issue a presidential pardon to Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server while leading the State Department.
Clinton, however, has been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing by the FBI and the Justice Department.
Trump issued his "demand" during a rally here as he repeatedly railed against Clinton's tenure at the State Department and her subsequent misleading and even false statements about whether she had sent or received classified information through her personal email account.
...
"Here's the demand I'm making today to President Obama," Trump said. "Will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators for their many crimes against our country and against society itself? Will you make that pledge?"

I blame Ronald Reagan for Donald Trump. Reagan closed all of the mental hospitals.

(58,785 posts)He won't pay for it -- he'll monetize his name for investors, and that will allow him to feed his craving for admiration by prancing and posturing before his admirers. I laughed on reading his "demand," but it's red meat for his followers, who are going also need comforting with President Clinton in the White House. Can you imagine all the products he could advertise?
Of course, he could just end up in prison as reward for pushing himself under such intense scrutiny.

(13,110 posts)He is evil.
He enjoys humiliating people.
He enjoys hurting people.
He lies without batting an eyelash.
He never admits he is wrong.
He is a poor excuse for a human being.
He is an evil criminal that hides behind his wealth and power,
for protection from the consequences of his evil actions.

(10,252 posts)A Trump con designed to change the discussion from his odious misogyny to an implied Clinton email criminality. I laughed when I read Trump did this, because it's such an obvious tactic to rile up his base and make himself look strong against Obama. I predict that once again the half-reasonable pundits will be shaking their heads and clucking their tongues over how stupid it is. The stupidity of it is not ever worth getting upset about. Just another slight-of-hand con from the carnival barker.
