    Disagree. I'm certain that they have a bunch of damning, perhaps high criminal secrets, against each other, enough to keep one from going after the other for their own self-interest. I'd wager that If he doesn't pardon her and she talks he's screwed. Look at all the maneuvering already going on within the government just to keep her out of jail and in contention for POTUS.

    Good point. It would cost his 'legacy' too. But he hates Trump even more and it may lead him to pardoning her anyway.

    Obama won't pardon Hillary if the personal animosity between them is as deep as some are saying.

    As i remember ( makes me OLD) , Nixon resigned, but Ford stopped all prosecution of him which was continuing. Ford took HEAT, like a lot of it, for doing that. As I remember, they called it an executive pardon, but its been a long time ago now.

    Nixon showed a degree of honor and a level of respect for the office of President (and the American people) with his resignation. Today recording 20 minutes of you political oppositions strategist is nothing. Today, routinely, politicians do far more than wiretapping and brazenly laugh about it.

    Today many politicians would rightly be found guilty of treason and shot.

    Maybe nobody cared because Nixon resigned after being impeached for the coverup--not the actual Watergate burglary.
    Those directly involved in the burglary DID go to jail.
    Later Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about having sex with an intern but FU hung around anyway.

    I remember that Ford did pardon Nixon even though Nixon had not been convicted. Maybe it wasn't a pardon as such, but whatever he did, he stopped any prosecution of Nixon I am thinking O would do the same for Hillary if trump wins. No?

    Whoa, whoa, whoa! Shortly after I heard Trump tell Shillary during the debate that he'd have her email shenanigans investigated, I mentioned what you wrote about O pardoning the evil hag to my 30-year-old son.
    1. He pointed out that O can only pardon someone while still in office.
    2. A president can only pardon someone already convicted of a crime.
    3. Trump would have to be in office before he could have his attorney general or a special prosecutor to do anything about Shillary.
    4. So Trump, not O, would be in office before Shillary can be indicted.
    5. And so for Shillary, looks like either the White House or the Big House is in her future, providing her judge and jury aren't all libtards...

    Those investments won't be worthless to Shillary If someone finds the guts to finally indict her.
    And me dino ain't just talking about one indictment.
    Many are her crimes so indict, indict, indict until the whole flock of dirty buzzards come down to roost.
    Shillary will have to spend a fortune in hopefully a vain attempt to stay out of prison.
    May justice finally be served by people with backbones.

    They paid in advance and now she must PLAY. I do hope that Trump wins, and those investments with Hillary become WORTHLESS.

    These are real issues to consider when picking a president- not the mud that Hillary is bringing up about what trump did or said 11 years ago. I just can't see Hillary negotiating with other countries, when she failed with IRan and the Middle East. I can't see her keeping the country safe when she couldn't keep the consulate safe in Benghazi. I can't see her on the subject of cyber security, when keeping her secret crony deals was more important than putting classified info on a secure server.

    Peace through strength. If it doesn't work at least with strength we can just whoop them and be done with it.
    However, we have sold off over half our air force, Navy, and nukes. We are no longer near the strength we were just 8 years ago. It cost Reagan a fortune ( or should I say us) to rebuild after Carter. Cartet's destruction of our military is nothing compared to Obama's. And the costs of military hardware are times more today.
    Yes we need to rebuild, but it will be a number of years before we can negotiate from a real position of strength.
    Anyways, we need a strong economy to rebuild our military, and Trump for the most part would be best on that issue. As far as foreign trade? Any of them are failing there. Smart trade deals, yes. Trade war, no!

    I think one of the really important things in this race is the ability to negotiate from strength with other countries. Wars start when other countries view us as weak and do not respect us. Hillary/Obama are much more likely to get us into a war than trump.
    A big muscular and confident security person doesn't need to actually use his physical force nearly as much as a weak and overly "kind" one. Trump knows this

    Surprised its not carried by Netflix but I just found it on YouTube.
    I lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis.
    Can remember talking to other kids about maybe getting nuked with my girl at the time Peggy standing there all wide-eyed on the school grounds during a recess.
    Without seeing the movie, I at this time would prefer Trump at the helm far more than those other two.

    Hi CBJ,
    I wouldn't have a cup of coffee with these people.
    That makes it impossible for me to give my approbation with a vote. Johnson will , my decision is based also by the fact that Mn. will have projected Clinton winner by 2 PM election day.
    Regards,
    DOB

    I am in full accord LarryHeart. I wonder if there was any lewd and lacivious emails that were scrubbed from the other POS . I can imagine Hiltlerey warning slick willie not to bring the secret service detail to his pal convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein's Orgy island on his 12 visits.

    I'm not so sure that will ever happen. Bad behavior is now perceived as good behavior, heroic, behavior, desirable behavior. Good behavior is perceived as cowardly, undesirable, the province of wimps and skinny little men wearing glasses.

    This should demonstrate clearly that Johnson is intellectually inconsistent to favor Hillary over Trump, when Johnson himself has not a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

    Exactly, which is why I am voting for him, regardless of hillary's latest mud slinging. I want someone who will slow down the decline of the USA in the future, not someone who will continue the policies that ARE destroying the country.

    What stupidity. Taking down Trump is a vote for Hillary, who is about as far from a libertarian as possible.
