I have a theory, about Hillary's non-pardon

So I've been asking myself why Obama didn't pardon Hillary on the way out the door. Well, you know he and Hillary didn't want to "admit" her guilt, and that's what a pardon would have done in the minds of most Americans.

Notice how Trump came out of his private meeting with Obama with a new attitude toward Hillary. He said things like "I don't want to hurt the Clintons" and "I don't want to hurt her".

I was also surprised at how helpful Obama was in the transition process. I did not expect that.

My theory is that Obama and Trump made a deal during their private meeting: Obama would be supportive and helpful during the transition, and Trump would promise not to go after Hillary.

I hope I am wrong because I would like to see justice done, but that's my theory.

That seems like a reasonable theory. I don't think he goes after Hillary.

Or he was bullshitting for votes. I'll let you decide which is more likely.

How can you pardon someone not charged with any legal wrong doing?

Do tell.

You actually think Obama was helpful?


Man, shite.


Just because he smiled for the cameras today, that doesn't mean shite.

He tried to create as much havoc as he could.

To pardon her would forever stain her as guilty.

She would never ask for that. Ever. The Clintons fight and usually win at least in their minds.

Lol. Obama and Hillary would be okay with Trump going after Hillary. So would all the democrats. She would make a great political martyr.

None of the above.

At this point it isn't worth the political capital to spend it on a piece of shite like Hillary.
Why waste it when she will end up getting a bunch of the same kind of people on a jury that let OJ Simpson off.

It is better for Trump to move on and try to fix this shite the libtards have been doing to our country.

If Trump doesn't want to deal with her, then maybe HE should pardon her. LOL!

He is probably just going to have some mobs buddies bump both of them off so we don't have to spend millions going after them.

You need to quit doing that. You aren't an expert, and you don't seem to give yourself good answers.

That is not the reason. The reason I know that is because Obama knows that wouldn't admit any type of guilt. You people (yeah you people) need to stop with all the reading into stuff.

Obama cooperative on transition.

He acted like a child and tried to start another Cold War with Russia because he couldn't get his way.

Obama is not a fan of the Clintons, Hillary in particular. While "campaigning " for her, especially in Florida & N.Carolina, half of his speeches used the words " I" and "me"; point being he was trying to sell his legacy, not help her.

I think there was more to the deal. I had a comment about this earlier but my theory is that they had to close the Clinton Foundation and she had to show up at the inauguration.

Not prosecuting Hillary now is a chess move. There really is no statute of limitations on it. Anytime she or Chelsea might want to re-enter the political arena, you launch an investigation. It's insurance. There when you need it.

Trump wasn't going to go after Hillary, never was. I said that on this board months ago.
