Hillary Clinton’s Backers Want Obama to Grant a Preemptive Pardon

[Bubzer]

With FBI Director James Comey’s statement this week that the massive investigation of possible criminality by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could linger into the fall, some of her political advisers have become convinced that the best option for her would be to shut it down now, which could be accomplished ifPresident Obama would grant a preemptive pardon for any crimes she may have committed.

“It would be a humbling experience for Mrs. Clinton to accept a pardon, but she and husband Bill have ridden out terrible scandals in the past without losing their bedrock constituencies,” an official close to the campaign told Orbmagazine. “And without a pardon, the possible scenarios she is facing are fraught with danger.”

Hilary supporters:

1) "Hilary didn't do anything illegal"

2) "Hilary is not being investigated by the FBI"

3) "Hilary needs a preemptive pardon from president Obama"

Accepting a pardon would be an admission of guilt

1. Um, then she could be compelled to testify, since no possibility of self-incrimination exists.

Can't plead the 5th.

Please proceed.

2. "Fraught with danger.”

So is homelessness, which she blamed on the people who got shifty loans from her buddies. Her supporters aren't going to comment. They think she did nothing wrong, and it's all the fault of the GOP. They are delusional.

3. Disqualified from holding office. Next!

4. Seriously? I thought that was a joke.

Actually, thinking of Hillary as president seems a bad joke, at this point.

9. Does seem like somthing that should be on The Onion, doesn't it?

5. Trump keeps bringing up the email scandal...

At his rallies, but I find it courious that the rest of the GOP has been quiet so far. Keeping powder dry I guess.

Hillary is far too risky to be allowed the nomination.

7. The Sleaze Factor kicks in

8. She accepts the pardon, and she loses half her supporters. n/t

12. I wouldn't bet on it.

All the other shit didn't drive them away, why would being pardoned for a crime? It's not like they don't live in a perpetual state of denial as it is.

Once you veer into "There's nothing wrong with being friends with Henry Kissinger" territory, there really isn't any coming back from it.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

13. You could be right. And I don't really want to find out.

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. I don't think so

But she certainly won't pick up any undecideds.

10. Sweet deal

Just what we need in a nominee for president.

[MissDeeds]

11. Apparently even they think/know

she's guilty of something.

Ya think?
