Actually, there are several problems with pardoning Hillary…
- As a public official, she violated federal laws to avoid public oversight;
- her national security lapses exposed America to serious harm;
- emails regarding Benghazi personnel may have contributed to their deaths;
- thousands of her emails are still unaccounted for, which means we still don’t know the true extent, or potential consequences, of her felonious acts;
- her aides and co-workers are also guilty of violating those federal laws;
- she illegally acquired millions of pay-to-play dollars – domestic AND foreign.
No greater crime can be committed by a public official than to violate public trust.
When such a violation may have directly contributed to the deaths of Americans (Benghazi), the thought of dismissing such acts through a pardon is obscene.
And before anyone cries there’s no proof her crimes caused American deaths, we remind them her illegal email system detailed mission and movements during that period – the burden is on Hillary Clinton to prove her emails didn’t contribute.
Doherty, Stevens, Woods, and Smith deserve to be remembered anytime some political pundit casually bandies about the ‘of course she should be pardoned’ idea.
To those who decry persecuting political opponents, remember, America supported such acts in Iraq against Saddam Hussein, and Libya, against Muammar Gadaffi… and lest we forget… they were executed for crimes against their people.
Maintain a perspective, people. Are American lives any less important?
There was only one reason for Clinton to set up an illegal private email system, and that was to avoid public oversight while sucking up millions for her private benefit.
Rule of Law dictates that deaths occurring during an illegal act make the guilty just as liable as the killers, especially if such acts contributed directly to those deaths.
She’s been uncooperative, deceptive, and unrepentant since her activities were exposed; we still don’t know what further harm may have been caused by her acts.
Pardon Hillary Clinton? Why?
Who among us supports a theory that pardons deadly money-grubbers?
