I am sure that obama will exercise Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution... and give her a clean slate. Remember these pardons, which extends to those under investigation is not intended to correct a wrong, such as miscarriage of justice, but to reward someone.... I direct you to what President Ford did, he pardoned Richard Nixon who was under investigation but not charged other than impeachment... The pardon covered all the offenses Nixon "committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974." And later, President Jimmy Carter, absolving any person during the Vietnam era that "violated the Military Selective Service Act by draft-evasion acts." President Ronald Reagan pardoned George Steinbrenner in 1989. Steinbrenner, billionaire businessman and owner of the New York Yankees, pleaded guilty in 1974 to making illegal campaign contributions to President Nixon's ree******n campaign in 1972 and then attempting to obstruct criminal investigations in the matter.

President George H.W. Bush pardoned six people from the Reagan administration who were under investigation for their involvement in the Iran-Contra affair. That affair—a national scandal—involved selling arms to Iran and using the proceeds to fund Nicaraguan counter-revolutionaries (called contras). Bush's action silenced the legal proceedings that involved these six people, including Caspar Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan.

President Bill Clinton ignited a firestorm of controversy when he pardoned Marc Rich. Charges against Rich extended back to 1983, when he was charged with c***ting the government out of nearly $50 million and doing business with Iran during the hostage crisis. Rich fled to Switzerland to avoid prosecution. President Clinton pardoned him of all charges, leading many people—including the Justice Department—to wonder if Rich's pardon was a result of Denise Rich's (Marc's ex-wife) gifts of $1 million to the Democratic Party and $450,000 to the Clinton P**********l Library.

She will never be held accountable.... but, we can fantasize...right?

Not trying to be a smart aleck, Penny, but Obama can't pardon the b***h when she only gets to court on Trump's second day. Obama won't even be able to pardon himself at that time since he won't be the President then. It is true that Clinton took advantage of many things those last few days, but he was still in office at the time.

Great guy. Did citizenship the right way, and considers himself an American. Not African American.

I like your friend. I've known a number of people from parts of Africa, mostly black and just happy to be here. I've met some of them in the U.S. but also in Canada and in the U.K. So, what's the point of dissing the term "African-American"? The word "American" is in there, isn't that enough? We get it... He's American... but some of us don't get confused when you also mention his African heritage. Why do you put so much stress on dropping the word, "African"?

So now you live in Beverly Hills, right Professor Kunta.

You hang out with "Beverly Hills types", right Doctor Nimrodicus ?

Because you're so " highly educated" and rich.

Remeber Kunta, we all know what you look like.

Because you were stupid enough to post several photos of yourself on OPP.

So we know for sure you don't LOOK like the Beverly Hills type.

You look MORE like a big grown up crack baby.

If someone wanted to find you, the ghettos of California would be the place to look.

Tell your poor grandmammy I said howdy.

She will never get to court. As soon as there is any indication she will be indicted for anything, she will be pardoned. The Constitution does not give a "time frame" where the president may pardon an individual, so it could be at any point up until the minute he leaves office. I am sure the documents are already been prepared and signed, just waiting for a date and time stamp. As for himself, no president has ever tried to pardon himself, so there is no precedence. The Constitution says that the president "shall have the power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment." I think that there are a couple of ways to view this, first the power to pardon "except in cases of impeachment" means the president cannot pardon someone who's been impeached, or at least cannot pardon the offenses which led to an impeachment. And you can view the meaning of the word "grant" which can be done or for someone else, but not to one's self. I think it is highly unlikely that the courts would allow him to pardon himself. But, as we have seen... law does not really apply to him....nor the powers of the Constitution.

One day you'll grow the f-ck up and realize how f-cking juvenile name calling like a little ignorant ass kid is. No one could give a s**t less about your hatred. You can take that and stick it up your narrow flat pale ass. You're trying to compensate for something lacking in your life but you are going about it in a way that will not be beneficial to you long-term. Carry on if that is what floats your damn boat !!

Thanks for the link Wolf, but no, it doesn't answer my question. I already know the definition of "realist". What I wanted to know is who archie thinks the realists are.

You're absolutely correct Dr. Nimrodicus.

I most definitely AM "trying to compensate for something lacking" in my life.

What I lack is a good hard-working s***e.

Right now my s***e is a foul mouthed, unruly, violent son of a she-boon.

And Lucifer has captured his soul and set him against me.

But I will jerk that demon out of you yet.........................................Kunta
