Should Obama just get it over with and pardon Hillary now?

In order to me pardoned, you have to be convicted of a crime. She could be indicted, but uncharged for months to come. If she is indicted after she receives the nomination, this could be very problematic. I think the DNC is going to throw her under the bus again.

This seems to be a common misconception. Nixon was pardoned before he was even charged with a crime. I have linked to the official proclamation several times now. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=4696

You can tell Hillary is lying when you see her lips move.

It would hand the election to the GOP. This is an example of why Trump and Sanders are doing so well. 99.99% of the people that would have done what Hillary did would already be under arrest.

Lol, why bother. Clintons are never charged with anything, anyway.

Let's see...The IT firm handling her server didn't have security clearance, her home computer system "czar" is a known Ponzi fraud$ter (the orbit these people travel in ), she has her private server that she once said only had wedding tidbits and yoga appointments on it scrubbed... Anyone else would have have been charged by now.

Hillary Clinton wouldn't know how to act if she weren't lying to cover something up while telling the gullible, dependent Democrat constituency that it's all just one big right-wing conspiracy (Zzzzzz...).

Some things never change.
