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.
By being pardon it would show her guilt.
No she don’t. Look it up. Supreme Court says he can before conviction, during or after
I said it months ago.Why charge her when you know to cover his own$#%&!@*The Traitor would have to pardon her.No way would he survive a trial.So wait til he’s out.Then drop the hammer on all of em

Damn if she gets pardoned, Damn if she wasn’t. She has no place to turn now. She is totally BOXED IN. Either way,there will be consequences lurking around her.
Yes he can pardon her..look it up. It’s before conviction, during or after
By the President of the United States of America a Proclamation
Richard Nixon became the thirty-seventh President of the United States on January 20, 1969 and was reelected in 1972 for a second term by the electors of forty-nine of the fifty states. His term in office continued until his resignation on August 9, 1974.
Pursuant to resolutions of the House of Representatives, its Committee on the Judiciary conducted an inquiry and investigation on the impeachment of the President extending over more than eight months. The hearings of the Committee and its deliberations, which received wide national publicity over television, radio, and in printed media, resulted in votes adverse to Richard Nixon on recommended Articles of Impeachment.
As a result of certain acts or omissions occurring before his resignation from the Office of President, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States. Whether or not he shall be so prosecuted depends on findings of the appropriate grand jury and on the discretion of the authorized prosecutor. Should an indictment ensue, the accused shall then be entitled to a fair trial by an impartial jury, as guaranteed to every individual by the Constitution.
It is believed that a trial of Richard Nixon, if it became necessary, could not fairly begin until a year or more has elapsed. In the meantime, the tranquility to which this nation has been restored by the events of recent weeks could be irreparably lost by the prospects of bringing to trial a former President of the United States. The prospects of such trial will cause prolonged and divisive debate over the propriety of exposing to further punishment and degradation a man who has already paid the unprecedented penalty of relinquishing the highest elective office of the United States.
Now, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-ninth.
GERALD R. FORD
He can grant her a blanket pardon to protect her from future criminal charges. The problem with that is if he does he admits he thinks she is guilty of crimes.
No Trump needs to wait untill he takes office to have her convicted
Pardon Hillary so it will all go away . Because if further investigated it will implicate Obama as we all know he is guilty and should be charged .
