Surprise!!! – Obama Set to Pardon Clinton (Not Parody)
An ex post facto law:
Is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences (or status) of actions that were committed, or relationships that existed, before the enactment of the law.
In criminal law, it may criminalize actions that were legal when committed;
It may aggravate a crime by bringing it into a more severe category than it was in when it was committed;
It may change the punishment prescribed for a crime, as by adding new penalties or extending sentences; or
It may alter the rules of evidence in order to make conviction for a crime likelier than it would have been when the deed was committed.
Under our Constitution, something Obama doesn’t pay much attention to anyway, Ex post facto laws are expressly forbidden by the United States Constitution in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 (with respect to federal laws) and Article 1, Section 10 (with respect to state laws).
HOWEVER…
There is a form of ex post facto law commonly called an amnesty law may decriminalize certain acts. A pardon has a similar effect, in a specific case instead of a class of cases. Other legal changes may alleviate possible punishments (for example by replacing the death sentence with lifelong imprisonment) retroactively. Such legal changes are also known by the Latin term in mitius.
A law may have an ex post facto effect without being technically ex post facto. For example, when a previous law is repealed or otherwise nullified, it is no longer applicable to situations to which it previously was, even if such situations arose before the law was voided. In the United States, I could find little use of an amnesty law with the exception of during the war on terror.
During the War on Terror, the United States enacted the Military Commissions Act of 2006 in an attempt to regulate the legal procedures involving illegal combatants. Part of the act was an amendment which retroactively rewrote the War Crimes Act effectively making policy makers (i.e., politicians and military leaders) and those applying policy (i.e., CIA interrogators and U.S. soldiers) no longer subject to legal prosecution under U.S. law for acts defined as war crimes before the amendment was passed. Because of that, critics describe the MCA as an amnesty law for crimes committed in the War on Terror.
By re-writing the law, which the article below says is something Obama is considering, it would at least prevent Loretta Lynch from having to make a decision, and it would prevent a nasty trial where all Hillary’s secrets would come out… seemingly two wins for camp Hillary… HOWEVER… as stated in a previous article today titled: Clinton Author Drops Huge Bombshell About FBI if Hillary Not Indicted (Video), it sounds as if that decision by Obama would most certainly cause Director Comey to walk out on the job, and take a huge chunk of the FBI with him.
Forgetting the fact that the FBI would be undermanned risking all our safety, not to mention what that would suggest about the evidence against Hillary, if huge numbers of the FBI left… does ANYONE think the morally bankrupt Democrats will hesitate to vote for her/ We get the government we deserve! Plain and simple. We don’t have a broken moral compass anymore… this country has lost it completely… Despicable!!
Below was Obama’s interview with Chris Wallace where he was clearly sending signals to the Department of Injustice to give Hillary as pass.
Again… just disgusting!

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been under investigation by the FBI for months over her allegedly illegal use of classified government secrets in her non-government approved private email server set-up.
With Clinton’s potential federal indictment looming during a crucial presidential election year, is President Barack Obama so desperate to protect her that he’s willing to change the law?
That may be exactly what he’s up to, based on a recently leaked Obama administration memo, made out by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper.
The memo — dated March 17 — shows the White House is quietly considering eliminating the lowest level of classification for government secrets. In other words, making ‘confidential’ secrets no longer ‘confidential’.
And in doing so, critics say, the administration would effectively pardon Clinton in her growing email scandal.
According to The Hill, this proposed move may have “beneficial effects” for Clinton, “whose private email server contained thousands of messages now considered classified. The vast majority of the roughly 2,000 documents on Clinton’s machine are considered confidential.”
Politico reports that — should the State Department fall in line with the DNI initiative — 96 percent of Clinton’s emails would be retroactively unclassified.
And that could be enough to let her off the hook.
Recently, Obama has come under fire by the mainstream media for his meddling in the Clinton email scandal.
In an interview with Fox News Sunday, Obama seemed to embrace the Clinton campaign’s suggestion that the root of the controversy is over-classification — that too much government information is classified by bureaucrats after the fact. And notably, Obama weighed in with his views on Clinton’s intent, calling it mere “carelessness” on her part.
“What I also know, because I handle a lot of classified information, is that there’s classified, and then there’s classified,” Obama said. “There is stuff that is really top secret, top secret, and there’s stuff that is being presented to the president or the secretary of state, that you might not want on the transom, or going out over the wire, but is basically stuff that you could get from open sources.”
This wasn’t the first time that Obama has suggested that he doesn’t care for the email controversy. In October, he said flatly he didn’t think the set-up posed a national security problem.
And these statements have caused growing criticism that Obama had put his finger on the scale with his recent comments about Clinton’s use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.
Each time he weighs in, it raises legal experts’ eyebrows and roils political adversaries. Republicans this week have suggested Obama is signaling prosecutors to go easy, and using a different standard for Clinton than has been applied to other administration officials investigated for mishandling information, like former CIA Director David Petraeus.
The White House routinely dodges questions about ongoing Justice Department investigations, saying it does not want to appear to be trying to influence the outcome. Obama’s decision to twice express his thoughts on Clinton seems to cast aside some of that caution in favor of defending a political ally and former administration official.
“It does raise concerns for prosecutors,” said Peter Henning, a law professor at Wayne State University and a former federal prosecutor. “If it’s a close case, how am I to judge whether to pursue charges when the president has said he doesn’t think there’s anything there? I don’t think it will prejudice any decision but it certainly gives the appearance of that.”
If Obama isn’t successful in influencing the Justice Department investigation, he could instead pressure the State Department to simply declare most of Clinton’s emails retroactively unclassified.

The Sodomite can pardon whom ever he/she wants…we don’t “pardon” and we will not forget his/her treason’s. Hang em high for all to see.
Who cares about the emails when BENGHAZI was enough to put her away
2QIK4U – Bulls-eye! Hang’em high for all to see…(especially the members of Congress) they are next.
Pardon would not get her to the presidency, although it would keep her out of jail.
Judge Roy Bean, the hanging judge at your service, where in the hell is Clint Eastwood when you need him to bring in the varmints?
Would love to see all those treasonous basturds hang on the WH LAWN.
