Receiving a pardon is no doubt something that a person would receive with joy and gratitude. However, there can be a problem: Accepting a pardon does imply that you committed the crime for which you are being pardoned, right? If there were no crime committed, then the pardon wouldn’t make any sense.
Such is the problem in which Mrs. Clinton might well find herself. That she has another potential legal issue to contend with is certainly no surprise. In would be interesting to see just how much money the Clintons or their supporters have spent defending them all these decades. The figure must be staggering.
So with Obama in the waning days of his presidency handing out pardons with wild abandon, what of Hillary? More on page two.
Yes the problem is that you can’t give pardon to someone that hasn’t been convicted.
Obama can pardon her and I imagine that he will. The precedent was set in 1974 when President Ford pardoned former President Nixon after he resigned. Nixon was undergoing impeachment hearings in the House of Representatives but resigned before the end of the hearings. Members of the Republican Party approached him and informed him that if he didn’t resign they were going to vote to impeach. He was not convicted or charged in the formal legal system. You tube Ford’s speech and listen to it. It was a very well written speech, was the right thing to do for the nation, and ultimately cost him the election in 76.
Can a pardon be overturned by Congress???
why would she need one if she didnt do anything wrong??
God isn’t going to pardon either of them !
… thanks for letting the world know that you’re 100% guilty before you’re even charged…!!!!!!!!!!!!
if shes not guilty she doesnt need a pardon ..but she is guilty
She hasnt been charged…they’re all some of America’s dumbest criminals!!
Both are guilty
How can Obama issue a pardon if Hillary has not been tried or convicted? Wait until Obama is gone, then arrest her.
