Trump's best line at the Catholic charities event a few weeks back was the one about Hellary bumping into him and saying, "Pardon me?" Now, she has lost the election and he is soon to be confronted with this choice. It is clear to most Americans that this woman is guilty of many serious transgressions. The aura of years of malfeasance hangs over her like that cloud of dust around Pigpen. She has skated through life ignoring all the ethical and legal boundaries and never really been punished for it ... except of course by losing two attempts at the presidency. But she has also been richly rewarded financially for her arrogant flaunting of our laws.
But is her punishment enough that she has been twice denied the big POTUS prize? This is the decision that Trump will have to make ... unless of course Obummer makes it for him ... which I consider quite unlikely ... due to his obsession with his legacy. Like always, Obummer prefers to let others do the dirty work. But even if this happens, I believe that the Clinton Foundation and its bevy of capos should be prosecuted with the full might of Trump's Justice Department and his IRS.
The question then presents itself ... what if Obummer doesn't let Hellary off the hook? My answer is simple. If Trump pardons her, then he will be sending a clarion message to his voters that he is (re)joining the Establishment ... the very people he opposed in this past election. As THE agent of change, showing mercy to this evil, evil woman would be the Christan thing to do, but not the right thing to do. This past election was not just the Globalists versus the Nationalists ... it was also the Establishment against the crockery breakers, the Populists. Thus, a presidential pardon would also send too clear a message to future politicians that laws are for little people ...and Republican campaign promises are also will o' the wisp.

She lost. She will not return. Just drop it.
BTW, doesn't a pardon require a conviction first?
No ... Ford pardoned Nixon before he was even charged with anything.
Mercy would be charging her with crimes, trying her, convicting her AND then pardoning her. Let her followers see what a witch she really was.
That smacks of Trumpian revenge. Drop it. The Clinton Foundation sems no less good for many and no more self-rewarding for the few than the United Way. Once pay-for-no-play is the case, what is the point? Ah! Revenge! That is the worst unifying attitude that Trump could start with. Especially if Christie delivers it.
Can we wait for the conclusion of the FBI investigation ... and find out what happened to over a billion big ones of taxpayer money and donations that were meant for Haitian earthquake relief that seemed to disappear once given to the Clinton Foundation.
