Jesse Jackson wants Obama to pardon Clinton

Posted by | November 16, 2016 19:31 | Filed under: Politics

Rev. Jesse Jackson wants President Obama to pardon Hillary Clinton.

Speaking at President Gerald Ford’s alma mater, The Rev. Jesse Jackson called for President Obama to issue a blanket pardon to Hillary Clinton before he leaves office, just like Ford did for Richard Nixon.

Stopping short of saying Clinton did anything wrong, Jackson told a large crowd of University of Michigan students, faculty and administrators gathered at daylong celebration of his career that Obama should short-circuit President-elect Donald Trump’s promised attempt to prosecute Hillary Clinton for use of a private e-mail server.

“It would be a monumental moral mistake to pursue the indictment of Hillary Clinton,” Jackson said. He said issuing the pardon could help heal the nation, like Ford’s pardon of Nixon did.

    I would love it for the purpose of all the head popping that would occur, but I just don’t know what “crime” she would be pardoned for.

    • Snick1946 November 16th, 2016 at 19:39

      As I understand it she could be pardoned for any crimes that she may be charged with.

      I don’t like to see this, it gives the impression she did something criminal but I know no other way to stop this juggernaut the GOP is on.

      • Suzanne McFly November 16th, 2016 at 19:44

        But what are the crimes she has been charged with? Nothing, they found nothing and this is making it seem like they have charges against her. The FBI said there is nothing to charge her with.

          the FBI will LIE each and every time a republican tells them to – it’s the EVIDENCE that’s lacking. Did they show US what evidence comey had when he told soh ryan they had something else on the Clinton Foundation? Even when Mrs. Clinton requested it be made public immediately?

          that “evidence” will be buried with donald’s tax returns for endless ages to come.

          Trust me, they will find crimes. Real or imagined. Imagined.

      • granpa.usthai November 16th, 2016 at 20:49

        even juggernauts run out of ammo eventually. let the accusations continue – it’ll give the masses something to fire back at the media blitz that will occur every time one of the donald crowds F’s the constitution.

        • Jack E Raynbeau November 16th, 2016 at 22:42

          This would take their firepower away. Do it.

    • Jack E Raynbeau November 16th, 2016 at 22:41

      Any crime or supposed crime while she was SoS. She’s still be on the hook for murdering Vince Foster. /s

    The GOP would just find someone else to attack without end. If she never did anything wrong then let her take the heat. All the money that has come her way, … well let’s just say her job isn’t over just yet, she just got paid in advance.

    • Willys41 November 17th, 2016 at 01:05

      OK, pardon EVERYBODY in the Democratic party lol.

    Pardon Clinton for what?

    • granpa.usthai November 16th, 2016 at 20:45

      she were accused by a republican man (if there is such).

    • Jack E Raynbeau November 16th, 2016 at 22:39

      For the delusions of the far right. They will not stop until she is in prison.

  4. StoneyCurtisll November 16th, 2016 at 20:05

    Give Chelsea Manning a pardon…
    Clinton has committed no crime that I am aware of..

  5. Foundryman November 16th, 2016 at 21:20

    The only thing Clinton is guilty of is she didn’t fight back against the lies hard enough.

    Should Obama pardon Trump over defrauding thousands of Trump University enrollees?

    • Jack E Raynbeau November 16th, 2016 at 22:38

      No. That ball is still in play. Trump is the next president.

  7. oldfart November 17th, 2016 at 00:35

    WIN WIN WIN.
    No more blowing our tax dollars.
    Heads explode.
    Obama can leave with a smile…
    AND as a added bonus, I can shove it in the face of tRumpanzes.

  8. Willys41 November 17th, 2016 at 01:04

    Obama should pardon HRC for anything and everything dating back to the beginning of time. Otherwise the GOP facists will continue to use investigations as cover for doing nothing.

    Loose lips sink ships Jesse

    The conviction never arrived

    I initially read the headline as “Janet Jackson” and was really confused for a minute. Jackson’s a jackass – such an action would discount her entire commitment to public service.

  11. fahvel November 17th, 2016 at 09:08

    pardon her for what????

  12. starskeptic November 17th, 2016 at 16:00

    I like Jackson, but he’s not the sharpest crayon in the box…
