Race-baiting opportunist Jesse Jackson is calling on race-baiting President Obama to pardon the criminal gender-baiting presidential candidate failure we refer to as Hillary Clinton.
Speaking at President Gerald Ford’s alma mater, The Rev. Jesse Jackson called for President Obama to issue a blanket pardon to Hillary Clinton before he leaves office, just like Ford did for Richard Nixon.
Stopping short of saying Clinton did anything wrong, Jackson told a large crowd of University of Michigan students, faculty and administrators gathered at daylong celebration of his career that Obama should short-circuit President-elect Donald Trump’s promised attempt to prosecute Hillary Clinton for use of a private e-mail server.
“It would be a monumental moral mistake to pursue the indictment of Hillary Clinton,” Jackson said. He said issuing the pardon could help heal the nation, like Ford’s pardon of Nixon did.
Uh, how is it a “moral mistake” to make sure a criminal pays for her crimes? Sounds immoral to me. And you can’t compare this at all to Ford and Nixon because that dude was a president, not a presidential candidate failure.
“President Ford said we don’t need him for trophy. We need to move on. President Nixon wasn’t convicted of a crime. He didn’t apply for a pardon. (Ford) did it because he thought it would be best for the country.
“Hillary Clinton has not been tried, but there are those who want to drag her for the next three years. It will not stop until they find a reason to put her in jail. That would be a travesty.”
In 1974, Ford, a University of Michigan alumnus, issued a full and complete pardon of Nixon for any crimes he may have committed. He said the pardon was in the best interests of the nation.
This sounds like a trial balloon to me. Jesse Jackson owes the Clintons so they’re pushing him out there to make this suggestion and get the ball rolling for others to demand a pardon.
So here’s the big question – if she did nothing wrong, then why does she need a pardon? Hmmmmmm….
