Now that Trump's settled Trump U case, she can sue the Trump campaign re: accessing confidential FBI documents and ask for all pertinent documents under discovery. You know, every email is sacred, every witness important. Think we could keep this parade going 10 years, and the Supreme Court already ruled you can't just dismiss a court case because someone's President.

Irony, I think Obey said. Hoist by own petard?

Trump hotels are the latest pay to play for foreign diplomats or anyone seeking favor with our new grifter in chief. For foreign diplomats, Trump hotel is place to be.

There won't be a right wing book Trump Cash on it though so the avid book readers at the FBI won't care.

Real politik would dictate a pardon. After all, it was Comey who made his name sending Martha Stewart to prison, and both Sessions and Trump are vile hateful people, unable to resist turning America into a nuclear banana republic.

I'm with you. I honestly

I'm with you. I honestly think that President Obama, in consort with the Atty General, should have postponed the election until the investigation of Russsian illegal intervention and collusion with the Trump campaign to influence the election, could be completed. The FBI actions should have been included in that investigation.

Yes, it would have taken balls, and yes, there would be a shit-storm but it really was the right thing to do. The Republicans would have gone ballistic, and they probably would not have liked Obama any more (lol), but this election was a sham. Everyone knew that Russia had hacked the DNC emails, and they also knew why they released them when they did.

And now we sit back and watch this debacle. Pardoning Hillary is the right thing to do also. I just wished he had acted earlier so it would not be needed now.

Good points. It is also likely the GOP would once again overdo it with more Hillary investigations, and pay a price for it. Even their base may be fed up with it all and want economic results. Sessions could wind up looking like a fool if he pushed it.

I just don't trust Trump or any of his bunch to be smart or reasonable and am sick of these bs Hillary witch hunts. Partisan posturing and attack is really their only skill set, aside from serving Koch and the 1%.

I think that following your suggestion would be a mistake. Based on anything presently known I would be very surprised to see any formal charges made against Hillary. There will be nothing she will need pardoning for. On the other hand, if she were to be preemptively pardoned for anything she might have done it would be bandied by her enemies as proof that she is guilty of whatever their imagination can contrive. The act of pardoning her as he leaves office would tarnish Obama's legacy too and be used in every national political campaign in our remaining lives as more evidence of Democratic corruption. Do you believe that any of the men you noted as pardoned by Bush deserved to be pardoned? I think the pardon indicated that there was strong evidence of their guilt.
