LAST DAY PARDON FOR HILLARY? Former Asst. U.S. Attorney Begs Obama
Will Hillary get a Blanket last day pardon from Obama similar to how Bill Clinton gave a shady 11th hour pardon to Clinton donor Marc Rich?
The clock is ticking. We bet “NO” but time will tell.
From FoxNews
A New York lawyer appealed to President Obama Wednesday in an opinion piece to pardon former-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and others who may be “potential targets” of an investigation into the use of her private email server.
Robert Begleiter, a partner at Constantine Cannon LLP and former assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York, wrote in The Daily News that the Constitution permits a president to pardon someone who has not been charged with a crime.
President-elect Donald Trump has said he has no intention of investigating Clinton, despite the familiar chant by supporters at his primary rallies, “Lock her up.” He even refered to her as “Crooked Hillary.”
“I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t,” Trump told editors at The New York Times shortly after the election. “She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways, and I’m not looking to hurt them at all. The campaign was vicious.”
Begleiter wrote that he wishes Trump well as president, but said it would be a gamble in the event Clinton ever criticized Trump during his presidency. He called it “sideways” to believe that a person who accepted a pardon is admitting guilt.
He wrote that a pardon for Clinton could, in the words of Alexander Hamilton, “restore tranquility to the commonwealth”
John Crudele, a financial columnist with The New York Post, wrote that Obama is the most forgiving president in U.S. history, and commuted the sentences of 1,000. He theorized that Obama likely does not personally like Clinton very much and the email scandal put him in an “embarrassing” situation.
“But the best reason for not giving a pardon is simple: Obama doesn’t really know what kind of trouble Hillary might be in. And she would have to admit to things she might not be ready to reveal to get completely out of trouble,” he wrote.

How can Hillary be pardoned by Obama? She hasn’t been “technically” charged with any crime yet by the justice department.
Exactly, I suspect there is a fox in the hen house on this one. Maybe President Trump can stay good on his word but the AG will pursue the clinton FUNdation.
All they got to do is AG charge Hillary with crimes on 1/21, then nothing Oboma can do to pardon her because Trump will be in place.
I thank President elect Mr Trump when he become’s president he should investigate Hillary Clinton’s espionage and lock her up if she’s guilty. Which I think the public sees that she does have criminal charges against her but they are just hiding it because of the election. And I believe that Obama is in cohorts with her.
your an Idiot!
Interesting. These people are claiming she did nothing criminally wrong, maybe some poor judgment here and there but noting approaching criminal behavior, and now they are begging Obama to pardon her.
BTW. she does not need to be charged or convicted to receive a pardon… and I learned last night from Dick Morris’ site that President Grant reversed a pardon given by Jackson(?) and it was upheld in the courts.

In any case a presidential pardon does not pardon violations of state law or international law or laws of other countries and the Clinton “charity” operates in many states and countries. I am interested to see what NYC does once Trump is in power.
Hillary Clinton should not be above the law.
Every American should be subject to criminal law.
A pardon would be detrimental to those principals.
Prosecute her sorry a$$.
He may pardon Hitlery but who is going to pardon Odummer? Arrest him for treason!
you people amaze me! maybe they should investigate all of you, they have investigated her every year she can’t wipe her ass without a Republican wanting to investigate her! get over it she is clean!
Well Linda, if Hillary is so clean why did her aides get immunity? I hope she will get the “tough love” she deserves!! Also, don’t talk to us Republicans about investigation, you should worry about the Democratic Party whether it will continue or fold!! Your buddies are UnAmerican by not attending the Inauguration, the least they could do is participate for the people that voted them in!!! I hope the Democratic party as it stands now folds, and why did most go into a meeting with George Soros, hidden camera showed it!!!!!
