Trump demands Obama promise not to pardon Clinton

[Stonepounder]

Novi, Michigan (CNN)Donald Trump on Friday challenged President Barack Obama to pledge not to issue a presidential pardon to Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server while leading the State Department.

Clinton, however, has been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing by the FBI and the Justice Department.
Trump issued his "demand" during a rally here as he repeatedly railed against Clinton's tenure at the State Department and her subsequent misleading and even false statements about whether she had sent or received classified information through her personal email account.
...
"Here's the demand I'm making today to President Obama," Trump said. "Will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators for their many crimes against our country and against society itself? Will you make that pledge?"

I blame Ronald Reagan for Donald Trump. Reagan closed all of the mental hospitals.

[TwilightZone]

1. So, he wants Obama to not pardon Clinton for a crime that didn't happen?

That should go over well.

[OregonBlue]

6. Obama should respond that he's more than happy to agree not to pardon Clinton or Trump.

Much better chance of Trump ending up in prison than Clinton.

[radical noodle]

2. What the hell for?

[TeamPooka]

3. Trump's going to need a pardon or to flee the country after Nov. nt

[christx30]

10. I doubt he's going to be able to leave anywhere in November.

The shock from losing the election is going to devastate him. I think just getting into a car is going to be a miracle in itself.

[Hortensis]

43. I suspect he'll comfort himself with an entire cable network.

He won't pay for it -- he'll monetize his name for investors, and that will allow him to feed his craving for admiration by prancing and posturing before his admirers. I laughed on reading his "demand," but it's red meat for his followers, who are going also need comforting with President Clinton in the White House. Can you imagine all the products he could advertise?

Of course, he could just end up in prison as reward for pushing himself under such intense scrutiny.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Melania will flee Trump. Donald thinks he is immune, thinks he can't be touched.

Maybe he thinks he can tie up prosecution in court long enough that he'll die first.

[Trust Buster]

4. The Big "O" should decline on the basis that a foreign citizen cannot grant pardons.

[rurallib]

5. Trump needs a random drug test and a psychiatric evaluation.

[Archae]

21. Nah. Trump knows exactly what he's doing.

Just more pandering to the Alex Jones/Michael Savage crowd.

[elmac]

7. Thump better start worrying about his own legal problems

I don't think President Clinton will pardon him.

[still_one]

8. That was in California.

[madaboutharry]

9. He is a stupid man.

[Grassy Knoll]

11. Donnie Should Step Back...

....And Fuck His Own Face.

H/T to Tropic Thunder.

[left-of-center2012]

12. Trump needs a pardon for breaking the Cuban embargo n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, Dear Donnie

You are hallucinating again, and you have your facts backwards

Go back to 3 am tweets, and get some sleep

[Renew Deal]

14. Obama should respond that he has no plans to pardon Trump for his illegal dealings in Cuba.

[hibbing]

15. But she was found guilty by Chris Christie

By that paradigm of virtue and justice Chris Christie at the RNC.


Peace

16. Stonepounder do not post things from the Onion because this can not be true.

"Will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators for their many crimes
against our country and against society itself? Will you make that pledge?"

[Skittles]

17. he is losing what is left of his mind

[klook]

18. I demand that Clinton not pardon Trump (n/t)

[LenaBaby61]

33. I demand that Clinton not pardon Trump (n/t).

[C_U_L8R]

19. Trump's going to be waiting on hold a long time

for someone to get back to him about his 'demand'.
Idiot.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

20. We've all seen this......

[rusty quoin]

22. I love that movie.

[world wide wally]

27. That is great ^

[awoke_in_2003]

46. I need to re-watch this. nt

[ginnyinWI]

23. It's all "look over there! Nothing to see here!"

Whatever trouble he's in, "SHE has done it too, and worse!" Projecting big time.

[SamKnause]

24. All the mental hospitals in the world will not help Trump.

He is evil.

He enjoys humiliating people.

He enjoys hurting people.

He lies without batting an eyelash.

He never admits he is wrong.

He is a poor excuse for a human being.

He is an evil criminal that hides behind his wealth and power,

for protection from the consequences of his evil actions.

[smirkymonkey]

39. The first step to solving a problem is admitting that you have one.

That is something he will NEVER do. He will never get help because he will never think that he needs it.

[Stonepounder]

40. I was thinking more of an involuntary committal.

He may not be a danger to himself, but he is certainly a danger to others.

[C Moon]

25. Trump lives in the same world as the Tea Baggers. Wow. He's just plain nuts.

[deathrind]

26. Does he not understand that...

...a conviction has to come before a pardon can...

He is delusional.

[MichMan]

36. Ford pardoned Nixon n/t

[deathrind]

41. Good point.

I stand corrected.

Perhaps I am the one who is delusional.

[world wide wally]

28. I think Obama should pardon Trump for his Cuban bullshit

and leave it at that.

That or prosecute. The pardon would keep him up all night wondering WTF happened

[MFM008]

29. Something tells me POTUS

Doesn't give a flying fuk what the maggot wants on any subject.

[vlyons]

30. Everyone relax. It's just another Trump con

A Trump con designed to change the discussion from his odious misogyny to an implied Clinton email criminality. I laughed when I read Trump did this, because it's such an obvious tactic to rile up his base and make himself look strong against Obama. I predict that once again the half-reasonable pundits will be shaking their heads and clucking their tongues over how stupid it is. The stupidity of it is not ever worth getting upset about. Just another slight-of-hand con from the carnival barker.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. It's a diversion. Do NOT be distracted. Carry on. . . . . . nt

[cynzke]

38. ABSOLUTELY! IF TRUMP COULD NOT BOTHER TO PREP FOR DEBATE......

He sure as hell has not bothered to formulate specific policies. So he is trying to drag out the rest of the remaining time focusing on this crap, hoping to distract the public and media. The truth is he has NOTHING TO OFFER EXCEPT EMPTY RHETORIC.

[Raine]

34. Obama won't pardon her

because there is nothing to pardon her for..

[SummerSnow]

35. Obama: "Kiss my ass Donald"

[cynzke]

37. OBAMA SHOULD COUNTER DEMAND.....!

As...."Hey Donald, I'll make that pledge....first show us your tax returns!"

[weaselbit]

42. Weird.

Weird.

[MsMAC]

44. tRUMP has no "status" to demand anything!

Even something as ridiculous as this! If anybody should be charged with treason, it should start with Bush/Cheney regime!

[kerouac2]

45. Next Debate Headline: Clinton Promises NOT to Pardon Trump

Maybe that would bring Cuba and T's illegal charity more attention.
