Podesta Emailed - Three Days Before Supreme Court Justice Scalia’s Suspicious Death

I believe the other party (Steve Elmendorf) wrote “Didn’t think wet works meant pool parties at the Vineyard.” to which Podesta responded about it being a bad nite.

Here is the whole email. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6008

John Podesta is Hillary’s campaign chairman and my guess is that Podesta was entirely focused on the NH primary that day.

Scalia’s death was suspicious

There were far too many unanswered questions about Justice Scalia's death and way too many people seemed very anxious to bury him without even a cursory investigation, and that includes a lot of GOP.

He cannot pardon himself.

It’s just another attempt by a CONSERVATIVE new site to link Hillary to Scalia’s death. The man was old, overweight smoker with a heart condition. Nuff said

Could a president pardon himself?
No one really knows the answer because it has never happened and been litigated. However, the majority view is that a president can pardon himself (assuming he does so prior to impeachment). Art. II Sec. 2 of the Constitution states, in part, that the president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” The purpose of this clause was to insure the separation of powers by preventing the courts from using the law as a legal blackmail against the president. The argument that the president could murder someone and then pardon himself is rather a non-sequitur considering that the vice president (or anyone) could kill anyone for the president and then the president could pardon him or her. Note: There is a minority view that the president cannot pardon himself.

You have to go back to the Founders and their writings and intents.

Given their views on abuse of power by a king/monarch, and given their checks and balances and limitations of powers throughout the document in order to have checks and balances on corruption they well knew could happen because of the nature of people, would you really seriously believe they wrote this in order to have the president be able to pardon themselves?

The statute is in line with the original intent of the founders and if it disqualifies people from all lower offices it is insane to think it doesn’t apply to the highest office, over all the other lower offices thst would be off limits.

Anything the man-chile does is protected by a Republican Party and Judicial system that won’t touch him.
