I suspect you didn't coin the term, but thanks for introducing it here! :cheers:
I just figure that she never thought it would apply to her!

What? Wow. Just... WOW.
Wrong subforum.
Now you dont want to feed him?
You don't believe me?
Tsk Tsk TskWe have a subforum to quarantine that in for a reason.
‘Americas worst nightmare potentially just got the green light. The blue helmets of the UN are coming to police the streets of the USA. Foreign Military is now allowed to police the streets, arrest, and use force in combat.
In May 2016, the USA approved a set of principles that give the green light for UN peacekeeping troops AND POLICE to use force to “protect” citizens in armed conflicts, but the agreement does not specify exactly where. The Blue Helmets are coming, and the American police force could now be a part of a global police force
Agreed!
I'm always blown away that can legally be done.
Get a pardon at the beginning of / before Hillary's term in office? Last time there was a presidential pardon, Nixon resigned, and was then pardoned. I don't think it's likely that she'll be pardoned AND be in office.
I suppose Obama could do that. He may want to, because if she were prosecuted for her handling of emails--e.g. under section 793(f)--I suspect evidence would come to light that implicated him in it. It's just not credible that he did not both receive and respond to some of her emails that contained government information. I tend to think pardoning a person for any federal crime he might have committed, even though he had never been convicted or even charged, is an abuse of the pardon power. It allows a president to pardon even the most serious federal felonies without ever having the charges exposed to public scrutiny, so that the people could see just how bad the pardoned actions looked.
I see nothing wrong with questioning the validity of an official story that isn't specifically in the CT sub-forum,
...you are, however, pushing it, PinDar.
Unfortunately at least one president has abused his pardon power. Bill Clinton pardoned 13 Puerto Rican terrorists who did not even request a pardon. He pardoned them for the sake of assisting Hillary in her Senate campaign with hispanic voters. But you are right. Obama had to know Hillary was operating on a private email server and could fear being implicated at least bad enough to harm his so-called legacy.
Just read a post where this question popped into my head.
Depends.
If you are talking about the Benghazi or email stuff, then no. It's past history at this point.
If you are talking about new charges for other stuff, then yes...she's fair game.
Of course, if Trump gets elected, I think most people would be satisfied with her just slinking away in shame for being a two-time loser.
Thanks for your opinion.I'm not sure how clear the law is on it--not familiar with the Supreme Court cases on that specific point, if there are any. The power is very broad, and the Court in at least one post-Civil War case invalidated an action Congress had taken because it encroached on the president's pardon power. If I had to guess, I'd say the original intent was to allow a president to restore a person's reputation, particularly if he believed politics had played a role in charging or convicting him. (In the early days of this country, for example, more than one prosecution for treason had political overtones.) I don't think pardons were meant to be a permanent grant of immunity from prosecution, even if overwhelming evidence were later to come to light that the person who had been pardoned had committed the most serious federal felonies.
You are right. Whether Hillary wins or not, Obama would probably pardon her on the way out the door.
It really doesn't matter, They are just 'puppets on a string". They will not calling the shots at all!
Hence, it doesn't matter who wins, they are all manipulated by the same hidden hand.
I'm not sure I understand who you are saying is the hidden hand pulling the puppet strings. Are you referring to the one percent?
