Not to mention Mitt Romney, Rock Perry, andJebsclamationpoint, for various email improprieties, and the whole Dubya Bush White House for 22 million emails missing from their own private server.

he can make it absolutely clear that she is guilty of nothing, and he is doing it to protect the country from the spectacle of a trial of a political opponent.

i think it is a good idea, and a great place for him to let it rip with what he thinks it means to have an orange ape at the controls of this country.

I was hoping it won't come to that kind of banana-republic "justice," but appointment of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General is a very dangerous sign.

It seems sure that various advanced nations would offer her asylum, and presumably the Clinton Foundation could be moved out of the U.S. to one of them, but I doubt they'd want to become exiles, no matter how warmly welcomed by their new country.

It would be taken by many as proof of guilt, but of course the Clinton lynch mob never required proof in the first place--just a rope. This is the kind of stuff the lynch mob sucks up:

Monica Petersen Killed for Investigating Clinton-Related Sex Trafficking in Haiti?
http://www.snopes.com/monica-petersen-killed/

Poor Ms. Petersen's death on 11/13 was immediately exploited to feed the mob frenzy. AFTER Hillary lost the election. Another very dangerous portent. The Trump extremists dismantling institutions that the mob actually wants to keep will need to be able to distract the coming rage, and what better target than evil Hillary?

with an article from the Boston Herald.

They are finished with Hillary.

There was never any crime. It was all about perception.

The question is...who will be the next imaginary evil Bond villain. Maybe that would tell us again who they fear the most?

Pardon her FOR WHAT?

This is prejudgment.

....she's been cleared of any mishandling of supposed classified info. Comparing the private server with the misdeeds of Pollard, Manning and Snowden is absolutely fucking ridiculous. Hey, why not throw Aldrich Ames in there too. What complete bullshit!!!

Thanks, Jesse

What is he thinking...

And I think that it on the same day, he should fire fucking Comey

WTF is Jackson talking about? It's like admission of guilt.

Why did Gerald Ford give Richard Nixon a full and unconditional pardon?

Of course, there was solid evidence that Nixon had committed high crimes and misdemeanors. while Clinton has been exhaustively investigated and no grounds for indictment have been discovered. Nevertheless, the Trump Administration could make her life miserable for many years, and they might even get lucky and find some excuse to indict her. By the way, Ford wrote that one of the reasons he granted the pardon was that a pardon carries with it some assumption of guilt.

HILLARY DID NOT

I remember him complaining the Gore pick.

for an indictment.

because their base demands it - facts be damned.

For what? There has to be cause for an indictment. If she's done nothing wrong, that seems an odd request.

charges over where as there was no such recommendation made for Nixon by the FBI.
Besides if Trump wants to really be stupid enough to try and pursue this Clinton will win and then maybe we will have an impeachment of Trump followed by him dragging the entire GOP down with him.

Always remember where there's a will there's a way. A show trial would be a great way to keep people distracted and pump up Trump supporters. Only question is does Jeff Sessions have the nerve to do it.

If the Trump regime is stupid enough to pursue such charges, the proper response is massive public demonstrations---coast-to-coast, and as violent as necessary. Count me in.

But I was just explaining why Jesse Jackson is thinking along the lines he is.

I like Hillary and don't want her to have to through any bullshit...Obama should say...I won't allow the US to persecute an innocent person for political reason therefore,....yada yada.

The Trump regime should be made aware that any moves to prosecute Hillary for anything at this point will be met with forceful public blowback: massive demonstrations, organized boycotts of all things Trump, etc. etc.

so a big who cares...stop them in their nasty GOP tracks.

and whatever they can think of to investigate.

They were and are serious about "lock her up."

Better safe than sorry.

Let it go. Pardon her. It will infuriate them.

you of Don Siegelman? An Alabama governor who is still rotting in jail...after a political prosecution during the Bush administration?

You're right.

I know she is innocent, but with the FBI traitors we can count on nothing.

For one thing, it immediately would confirm the suspicions of all the Brietbart nut jobs that Hillary is guilty. For all here old enough to remember Ford pardoning Nixon: what did THAT tell you?

Also, I'm afraid (very afraid...) that the Clinton's will have to be our canary in the coal mine: if Trump and his appointed goons actually go after Hillary and Bill then it's official: the Fourth Reich has begun: jailing of political opponents.

It would also show that Democrats won't put up with their banana Republic bullshit.

Anybody who dips into that cesspool called Brietbart has already made up their mind. But I am still anxious to see if drump is going to let the whole "jail her" thing drop. I doubt it; he is a petty, petty little man and he's got an ever growing enemies list. As I said, jailing a political opponent would definitely officially signal the start of a 4th Reich...

Trump has asked Obama not to pardon her thus he is going after her...easy bone to throw to his supporters. Obama should step up and do the right thing.

And if he is, so much the better.

And they may get a conviction. plenty of innocent people are convicted...I say tell them FU and give a pardon.

Obama could pardon her for any wrongdoing found in future in her handling of her private email account, but it would be a loud talking point on RW hate TV and Radio for years, and they would use this to cement the idea that there was criminal activity and risk to national security and paint all Democrats as complicit in letting "crooked Hillary" off the hook.

If he doesn't, Republicans may just drag her through yet more hearings for years to come. Appoint an even more draconian FBI head to lead it. And they will keep it up until they scrape together some mistake or oversight from her and blow it up all over their vast media reach. And Trump being such a vindictive asshole, I can see him doing that.

IMO though, I don't see Trump or the GOP pursuing this. They got what they wanted, ultimate power. Besides, I don't think Trump voters really understood or cared about it, it was all just a faux outrage because that is all they had.

That's where they could really have their "fun"

I would think they would never do it. But then again, I wouldn't think Trump would hire a white nationalist as an advisor.

Republicans impeached Clinton over a blow job.

And that was way back when they were sane and reasonable.

But that Clinton was in power then.

I just think if they are smart, which I know is asking a lot, they would drop it as it would only galvanize Democrat voters and even moderate independents. All for what?..She's never going to run again.

to the best of my knowledge, HRC has not been indicted (let alone convicted) for anything yet, nor is she likely to be in the next 2 months.

I remember when I heard that phrase daily (1974). Nixon went on to become "respected" by the "media" and Bill Clinton spoke at his funeral.

Hillary has been investigated for 25 years. Put an end to it. A full and free blanket pardon, which includes anything found in the future. It makes her "unindictable" for the rest of her life. She deserves it.

but only if Clinton says she wants one, which the Susan Hennessey argues would be wise:

https://www.lawfareblog.com/sake-nation-obama-should-pardon-clinton

The part about it I would hate, is T taking responsibility for this, claiming he would have put her in jail if not for Obama, etc. But, that's selfish. For Hillary's sake, if there is any fraction of a possibility T would decide to make people follow the shiney object of Clinton distraction while he was busy with WH evil, then I'm for a preemptive pardon.

what an idiot.

These fascist nutjobs are capable of anything.

SHE DID NOTHING WRONG

SHE HAS BEEN VETTED OVER AND OVER AND OVER

Ever here of Don Siegelman? He was the governor of Alabama and was prosecuted for political reasons...Rove was involved, and he is still rotting in jail. Guild and innocence have nothing to do with this...she did nothing wrong...I agree but they will go after her because they are vengeful POS and it is an easy bone to throw out for the their base.

Otherwise, we are in for a show trial and basically, Hillary could be sent to prison as a political prisoner. I know she didn't do anything illegal but...that is no guarantee against fascist like Trump Et AL.

for refusing to lie for him in Whitewater - for months on end - in an effort to get her to lie against them in court. Like these bastards care about the truth. Jason Chavetz has sworn to prosecute her for at least the next two years. They'll make shit up just to do it, too. It's their plan. Count on it.

I guess he hasn't had his meds today.

What exactly would she be pardoned for? Like a pre-pardon?
