Just because they are pardoned doesn’t mean the investigation couldn’t, or shouldn’t continue, and commission of perjury in the course of the investigation wouldn’t be covered by the pardon.

I think she is toast. Trump knows she is the one behind all this heat he has been getting about the Russian hacking and I would not doubt for a second she’s also behind the fake news of him with the hookers. This woman is a criminal psychopath. If he doesn’t see to it that she is locked up, she is never going to stop trying to destroy him.

When does he issue those pardons anyway? He’s now got 5 days left. I’ve been betting for the past 8 years that he’s going to pardon terrorists - specifically the architect of 911 Khalid Sheik Mohammed who if you’ll remember Obama and Holder were trying to have tried in a civilian court to increase the chance of his case being tossed.

“Trump knows she is the one behind all this heat he has been getting about the Russian hacking”

I think Trump was ready to let it go but now there are signs that he’s ticked that this Russian crap has put a dent in his legitimacy with some. Because of this I think it may be game on. From what I can see he is pragmatic enough to know a grudge can be counter productive BUT it’s not a good idea to piss him off. 5 days.

This should be high on the list of Clinton investigations: An obscure
Baptist Church in dirt-poor Cameroon, Sub-Saharan Africa, gave the
Clinton Foundation....wait for it....TEN MILLION DOLLARS.

Huh?

Then we learn that Cameroon is the recipient of hundreds of millions of foreign aid grants from the State Dept....for every social ill imaginable.

Is this the classic Clinton Foundation laundry?

<><> then-secy Hillary doles out State Dept foreign aid (our tax dollars) to the Cameroon govt,

<><> the Cameroon govt then launders the foreign aid into the Baptist church,

<><> the church takes a cut then donates the rest to the Clinton Foundation.

==============================================

Remember that Secy Clinton's top aide, Cheryl Mills, as a US govt
employee, also operated the BlackIvy Group, a development company
focused on Sub-Saharan Africa.

EXCERPT---FOURTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS
Behind The Real Size of the Obama stimulus/bailout;
A guide to the untraceable monies in Obama's $14 trillion plan.
SOURCE motherjones.com --- Mon Dec. 21, 2009 12:23 PM PST

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is popularly put at $700 billion—---the actual size of TARP--the Troubled Assets Relief Program.

But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside untraceable money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.

PAUSE TO REFLECT First-term Obama had tight control of the US Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role.

To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see MJ chart at web site. A guide to the pieces of the puzzle includes massive untraceable Treasury Department bailout programs.

Money Market Mutual Fund: In September 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel announced that it would insure the holdings of publicly offered money market mutual funds. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), these guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion [PDF].

Public-Private Investment Fund: This joint Treasury-Federal Reserve program bought toxic assets from banks and brokerages—as much as $5 billion of assets per firm. According to SIGTARP, the government's potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion [PDF].

TARP: As part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel made loans to or investments more than 750 banks and financial institutions. $650 billion has been paid out (not including HAMP; see below). As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid.

Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) stock purchase: The Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae and another $200 million from Freddie Mac [PDF] to show that they "will remain viable entities critical to the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets."

GSE mortgage-backed securities purchase: Under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel may buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to SIGTARP, these purchases could cost as much as $314 billion ---SNIP---.

Usually issued hours just before leaving office.

On January 20, 2001, he pardoned 140 people in the final hours of his presidency.

Wow, a few hours, that is pretty hit and run, right up Obummers alley. I fully expect him to pardon terrorists just like he’s been doing with Gitmo the past 8 years, but I think the big one he is going to pardon is going to be Khalid Sheik Mohammed or the traitors Chelsea Manning and Bowe Bergdahl if not all of them. The guy is a traitor so it stands to reason he will pardon enemies of this country. I don’t think he will pardon Hillary because that would mean he endorsed a criminal for POTUS and I dont think he likes her. I think he can pardon her even though she hasn’t been indicted like Ford pardoned Nixon.

Doesn’t “prove” anything, but it lays out the “rumor”.

"Isn’t it more appropriate to turn their investigation’s work product over to a post-Jan 20 Justice Department and get back to legislating?"

No, and here's why - if it's Justice, it literally has to be brought to a somewhat speedy conclusion, because even one indictment returned to bring pressure on principals triggers 6A.

OTOH, the House committee can simply meet, gather evidence, meet again, take testimony, meet again, make news releases, meet again, all the way up to 2018. This kind of red meat (albeit hamburger) polls well.

Obozo’s attempt to control the investigation and direct it away from him and the demorats.

Trump should remove the investigation from the FBI and appoint a special prosecutor.

The Public has a right to know.

A right to know ven if liberal butt kissers in the MSM are too corrupt to cover this email story on their own.

Even if they’re too corrupt to look at her ‘foundation’ AND too biased to see the impact of the millions she got for ‘speeches’ from thuggy hellholes that wanted favors - it still must be looked at...

Maybe he could resign on Wednesday, Biden could pardon him on Thursday, and they all hit the road on Friday.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

An airtight plan, to be sure! LOL!

But what about the legacy?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

more importantly: what would this do to the value of all the "trump 45" caps and shirts already out there?

better buy now, could become collectible

Trump promised to ‘drain the swamp’ and we all know that the D.C. swamp is mighty deep . . . but a promise is a promise. I don’t care if it includes the guy that carries the 5-gallon jug of water to the water cooler - the corruption needs to be found and eradicated.

He can pardon them all but only to a point. It is my understanding that treason can not be pardoned. Forget the small fish, go straight for the treason charge. Ordinarily it is hard to prove - but not so much in the case of the Clinton Crime Network.

And, if proven, murder is also not subject to a presidential pardon.

When they start lifting rocks deals will start happening. With the CGI defunct there will be no money left to pay huge murder contracts. Some will turn on the Clintons and things will start leaking of a devastating nature. Bill and Hill are toast.

She broke laws. The politicized, corrupt FBI and DOJ under this administration need to face charges as well for the attempted coverup.

An interesting aside: if Obama does pardon her he will have to pardon anyone who participated in the criminality.....an endless number of people.

Plus a presidential pardon does not apply to civil suits....of which there could be many.

If she’s pardoned, AG Sessions would not need subpoenas to get info to pursue her...since pardoned Hillary has no criminal culpability.
