An "avalanche of evidence" may now bury Hillary

a reply to: windword

remember that it took over 2 years for that investigation to bear fruit, in this world of immediate gratification 2 years may seem like an eternity, the wheels of justice may grind slow but they never stop.

I always smile when I read comments about how this whole scandal is old news, from a whole 6 months ago

Interesting. Maybe the timing has something to do with THAT. They've been investigating Clinton Foundation for over a year.

I doubt the FBI will have this wrapped up enough to where Obama will have the opportunity to pardon her.

A pardon still can be applied, regardless of the state of paperwork at the FBI.

" The following list of people pardoned or granted clemency by the President of the United States documents the most prominent cases of each presidency. As granted by the Constitution (Article II, Section 2, Clause 1), Presidents have the power to grant clemency in one or more of the following ways: the ability to grant a full pardon, to commute a sentence, or to rescind a fine. U.S. Presidents have no power to grant clemency for crimes prosecuted under state law."

If Hillary Clinton is Indited and Convicted in a State Court , the President's Pardon Power cannot Pardon Her by Law .

That would be an admittance to guilt.

After the election it won't matter. That's the time for Obama to hand out pardons like candy. Maybe that's why the FBI thing is up in the air.
