Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been stumbling along since it began. Once seen as the “inevitable” Democratic nominee, Clinton’s failure to connect with primary voters might be inviting another well-known Democrat into the race. The former First Lady is also in hot water because of her email scandal. Now faced with an FBI Investigation, some are wondering if she could be facing prison time in addition to losing in a second primary.
Matthew Continetti at the Washington Free Beacon wrote an article about how Obama needs to pardon Hillary to save her campaign. Clinton needs an escape from her own poor decisions. And a pardon from Obama would be her lifeline.
“But the FBI inquiry will cease as soon as the pardon is issued. There’d be no reason to proceed—Clinton would be forgiven for whatever she did or might have done. Not to pardon her would risk another “long national nightmare” of I.G. reports, committee hearings, depositions, subpoenas, betrayals, media leaks, tell-all books, grand juries, and indictments. Bad press would dog her campaign. Republicans would benefit.
Not only would a pardon have legal consequences. It would have political ones. It would be a tacit endorsement of Clinton, a message to Biden not to run. Scrutiny of Clinton would fade. A few news outlets might continue to dig around—we at the Washington Free Beacon will never, ever stop—but most reporters, who’d rather not be writing about this scandal anyway, would turn elsewhere.
Obama would look magnanimous. The country would be spared years of Clinton drama it doesn’t want. A pardon would be a final display of Obama’s moral superiority to the woman he defeated long ago—exactly the sort of self-righteous gesture that most appeals to him.”
If Obama doesn’t pardon Hillary, the former First Lady might have to win the presidency. Then she can pardon herself and escape jail time.

Do you think President Obama would pardon Hillary Clinton to save her dreams of remaining free and occupying the White House? Please comment below.
A pardon by Obama would put a dark cloud on his legacy. If Obama is smart he will let the indictment stand! Its high time the Clintons faced the music for their years of corruption!
For Obama to “pardon” Clinton, it would assume that she has been convicted or is in fact guilty of criminal act(s). You can’t pardon somebody from nothing. Therefore, Obama will NOT pardon her. If that language is even used, it implies that Clinton is a criminal and therefore can be pardoned. Personally, I think she is a criminal, but that she and her bank of attorneys and laws that were put in place by previous administrations give her plenty of escape routes that common folks cannot afford.
If all of her money, clout and cronies can’t save her from prosecution, Obama will certainly not support her.
Obama to Pardon Hillary Clinton for Benghazi, Emailgate, Sources Say – http://goo.gl/2EvWns

The White House cannot afford any incriminating evidence of private e-mail connections between Hillary and Barack Obama. The quickest way they can evade and keep any of this evidence from becoming known to the general public is to issue an early full pardon on Hillary Clinton.
To pardon Hillary would be considered an act of absolute betrayal and evil and would enrage the nation as hasn’t been seen since 9/11.A pardon would de-legitimize the left of having any morals or standards at all.If shes guilty she should spend the rest of her life in prison if a regular slob would have to do the time for the same act.We are all equal but not animal farm equal.
OBUMMER DIDN’T PARDON THE OTHER MILITARY PERSON THAT DID THIS SAME THING. SO WHY WOULD HE DO THIS FOR HER. IF HE PARDONS HER SHE STILL HAS NO CHANCE OF BEING CLOSE IN THE RACE. I HOPE
That will ensure a Trump win! She thinks she can latch on to Hagels failed attempt of Droning the enemy! She didn’t drone no enemy!
Will there be any doubt these people thought they were buying infuence when after she withdraws from the Presidential race, their speaking fees drop 80 per cent?
How about all those foreign dictators the Clintons took millions of Dollars from for her Presidency? Do you think they will pardon her? Soon the Clintons will be sleeping with Jimmy Hoffa.
Google “Two Minute Conservative” for sanity.
I hope not!
You can’t be pardoned unless you have been found guilty of something. The ramifications of this would be that she would have to admit that she was guilty.
It’s not a protection of Hillary. It’s a damning of her.
Julia, I’m sorry but you are wrong. I’ll give just one example, though there are thousands. President Ford pardoned Richard Nixon before he was charged for his crimes.
THEY HAVE ENOUGH ON HER NOW TO PROVE HER GUILTY
Of course he will pardon her. It’s a deal that was set up by the two of them. She knows where all the skeletons are and if she doesn’t get her pardon she will take him down with her and she can do it. They deserve each other but the American people don’t deserve either one!!!!
THEY BOTH NEED TO BE IN JAIL
This system is so corrupt……….these people are so above the law there should be a law for those who are above the law………..you know things like treason, aiding isis, you know some of the smaller laws that have been broken time and time again…………..
To pardon hillary clinton would be very bad for the country! Every one in their right mind knows Hillary Clinton is guilty of many things, including the murders of the 4 americans in BENGHAZI. If obama pardons her, it WILL ONLY PROVE THAT THERE IS A CLASS OF PEOPLE WITH POLITICAL POWER TO BE ABOVE THE LAW. So should this happen and then the very next CITIZEN that commits the same crimes, like Edward snowden, will they be pardoned too? Or will the double standard prevail?
And if there were somehow incriminating evidence involving Obama on the E-mails, this may have been the plan all along.
