The ass-whooping Hillary Clinton took in the presidential election is both epic and hysterical.
She was guaranteed a win by the elite class and their money and still managed to get curb-stomped by an inexperienced outsider who the entire media branded the worst person since Hitler. While the democrats will scratch their heads, if their heads haven’t exploded, over this stunning upset, the fact remains that Hillary is a corrupt lying criminal. Her losing this election may only be the beginning of her problems.
The Justice Department and the FBI, under the direct control of Barack Obama, exposed itself as liberal puppets by refusing to fully investigate or indict Hillary for her illegal handling of classified materials on her private e-mail server. With Donald Trump coming into office, there’s the very real possibility that he will instruct these law enforcement departments to re-open the case and deliver the justice Hillary has been dodging for so long.
Trump has said that if he is elected president that he would put Hillary in jail. That’s not just big talk, because her crimes are well documented. FBI Director James Comey, in declining to recommend an indictment, said straight up that Hillary sent classified material over her unsecured e-mail server to people who didn’t have security clearance to view them. This is a crime and it is ridiculous that she wasn’t arrested and prosecuted for it. Without Obama holding them back, the FBI and Justice Department will most certainly go after Hillary.
And that’s just the beginning of Hillary’s legal troubles. The FBI is also investigating the pay-to-play scheme Hillary was running with her family foundation in which she sold political favors to corporations, foreign entities, and wealthy cronies. It’s unlikely President Trump will try to burry this investigation the way Obama has.
Then there are her troubles with Congress. There are several active investigations into Hillary’s illegal dealings that could spell trouble for her. In addition, Hillary lied under oath to Congress so she will almost certainly be found guilty of perjury.
With all of this in mind, I predict that Hillary Clinton will once again avoid justice because of one simple thing: Obama will pardon her for all of her crimes as one of his last acts as president. Not only doesn’t Obama have to worry about reelection, these investigations into Hillary’s wrongdoing will reveal crimes committed by the Obama administration. If Obama pardons Hillary, there will be no one looking into his own unsavory shit.
A Trump presidency literally means Obama’s legacy, as sad as it is, will be erased. There’s nothing Obama can do to change that, but he can make sure his legacy doesn’t include federal prison by pardoning Hillary Clinton.
Plus, Obama wants to know how Bill and Hillary went from being “dead broke” to having a net worth of $350 million in the 16 years since they left the White Hose. As Obama prepares for life after the presidency, he certainly wants to amass great wealth without having to work for it and the Clintons can show him the way, but only if Hillary isn’t wearing a prison jumpsuit.
So what will become of post-election Hillary Clinton? Not much. She will continue to avoid paying for her evil deeds and growing her bank account with illegal and unethical dollars. They only thing that might actually catch up with her is her failing health. She may be able to wrangle her way out of everything else, but the Grim Reaper is incorruptible.
Only legal contracts are enforceable in a court of law. If the consideration given either way was patently illegal e.g. giving a bribe, accepting a bribe, buying political influence, abuse of office, etc, then Hillary’s “clients” have no legal recourse and simply have to absorb their losses.
I don’t think they would admit it was a pay for play and Hillary certainly could not bring it up.
So the only legal grounds anyone would have is based on something along these lines:
"I contributed to the Clinton Foundation because they said they were [helping people in Haiti, helping people in Africa, etc.], but they just used my money to pay their own salaries and pay for Chelsea's wedding."
A pardon from crimes for which a person has not been convicted, much less indicted, is an oxymoron.
Yeah the idiot Ford did it for Nixon, but it should have been contested, even to the SCOTUS if necessary.
If Traitorobama pardons Traitorhillary without her being convicted or even indicted, Trump should rip up the pardon as meaningless, and proceed to have his DOJ indict her (though maybe after the SCOTUS has a 9th conservative justice).
Hillary wouldn’t go to a maximum security prison, she’ll be set up with a ankle bracelet. I don’t see her in the women’s big house. That would be inhumane torture for her to actually live with those who she looks down to, and would not stand near to, except for a photo op.

I think Trump needs to pick an outstanding Attorney General and then leave it up to the AG to decide how to proceed. Trump will have more important problems to deal with, and it should not be something that can be portrayed as a political payback to an opponent.
Remember the case of Spiro Agnew. He pled nolo contendere, paid a fine, and resigned his office. His crimes were penny ante stuff compared to Hillary, and he had the office of Vice President as a bargaining chip, but maybe something like that could be worked out. Of course the fine would need to be orders of magnitude higher. Perhaps $1,000 for each document that was destroyed and $10,000 for each classified document that was handled carelessly. But Obama may limit the options by giving her a pardon.
He can't pardon the Clinton Foundation. That investigation can proceed.
Pure comedic genius, and revenge served *cold*.
Other people having a bad day may include Lois Lerner and John Koskinen (sp?) over at the IRS. A lot of shenanigans at DoJ depended heavily on Hillary be elected.
A special prosecutor is not one person, he has a whole team working for him including a grand jury so he can issue supeanas and have people testify under oath, and of course the FBI still does it's job and turns over what it finds.
Appointing Special Prosecutor would be the biggest mistake Trump ever made. Trump would insert himself into the process for no good reason
Just the opposite is true. Trump wouldn't be appointing him, the AG would. And by giving it to a special prosecutor they avoid the charge that the prosecution is political and Trump is politicizing the DOJ. And it allows Trump to move on and get the business of the country done. And finally IT'S WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO.
Back on the speaking tour. There’s a lot of money in not being president. She’ll never get indicted. Nobody who actually hangs out in the halls of power wants to cross that Rubicon.
Pardoning Clinton doesn’t necessarily let Obama & Co. off the hook. The evidence against them still exists in the emails & in the Clinton/Obama stooges. Obama would have to pardon a long list of people (Huma, Cherly Mills, Podesta, ...) who are involved & liable to prosecution. It would look real bad.
If Obama pardons Clinton it may make Trump real mad. Mad enough to investigate Obama & Co., who had to know Clinton was violating the law with respect to classified material. That makes Obama & Co. liable for prosecution.
OTOH, I believe Trump might be satisfied to only go after Clinton & Co., leaving Obama out of any prosecution, but only if there are no pardons. Prosecuting a past president is unprecedented, likely difficult & dangerous, but doable.
So, Obama had better think real hard before making the Donald mad just before he takes office.
It’s not wise to snatch a fresh kill from a hungry lion; it might eat you instead.
Yes, if they made a legit donation they should be angry that they have been swindled.
OTOH, what about the foreign countries and others that donated millions, and now there is no pay-for-play?
This is going to get very interesting as it all unfolds. The Clintons had better be prepared to start returning these funds asap. It could get ugly,
Picture a 6 million dollar donation for a specific deal that will have no chance of happening due to the non-election of Clinton.
If she didn’t have SS protection, would she already be gone?
She’d better be real nice to them.
+ Well Done!
foreign countries
I would think some would have means to get their money back without going to court.
The Clinton’s made a deal with the Devil...and the Devil always collects
I like the way you think.
Another thought on the pardon.
If pardon, she could still be called in front of a grand jury and because she has been pardon she could not use the 5th Amendment to keep quiet as she would not be prosecuted for any evidence against her, but if she lies, that is a new crime.
I am not sure how many “I don’t recall” answers you get before you get a contempt of court and sent to jail until you do remember.
