    Obama will probably pardon her before he leaves office

    I firmly believe that Trump is going soft on Clinton to try to mend the open gaping festering putrid wound that is the liberal left. As much as I would love for him to prosecute the shit out of that hag, I understand that the safe space, play doh using, emotional support animal, tolerant left would likely like an olive branch extended towards them.

    I get it. i just dont agree. ive never played politics well. id rather jail a criminal and make people rethink why they are idolizing them. im sick of elite ass holes getting away with shit. why is it someone does more jail time for a bag of pot in their coat than supporting fucking terrorists with millions?

    And im the racist?

    I rather hope he does. If he does, that right there says she is guilty and in need of pardon. Trump nor the AG with have any need to fool with her.
    I do hope Trump then pardons the sailor in jail for some damn pictures of an old sub on is phone.

    Actually it would be better not to prosecute her, because to do so would steer us dangerously close to tinpot dicatorship territory -- that's what Banana Republics do.

    EDIT: The same reason Obama didn't go after Bush W's administration for torture; politically motivated revenge trials/imprisonment destabilize republics. Just look at Erdogan and what he's doing in Turkey right now.

    A pardon is an admission of guilt.

    Officially.

    I don't know if he would stop an ongoing investigation, but yeah, he shouldn't order the special prosecutor that he promised toward the end of the election.

    And totally irrelevant, not only because it's the Electoral College that matters, but because neither candidate campaigned as if this were a popular vote election.

    Yeah, I see lots of right wing "news" sites making that claim. I see not a scintilla of evidence to support it. As a result, I don't see any reputable news sites reporting it.

    New voter registration in individual states with a very high percentage registering as Democrats, doesn't square with the numbers of yearly Naturalized citizens.
    I am not going to check every state for you but I did hear, south Texas registered over 600 thousand new Hispanic voters since the last election. South Florida almost the same.
    California too.

    People want a creditable source of data on this subject. We do not get it. Why not? It does seem to be what the news media should be checking on for the people.
    The government doesn't tell us.

    Yes, all the articles now say that Trump would have campaigned differently if he were pursuing a popular vote.

    They all forget to say that Clinton would have, too. It probably would have won her the electoral vote.

    Speaking of reputable, Facebook and Google are now removing false news sites. Strange how they waited till the election was over. You would think they wouldn't want the election to be affected. Now that the false news would hurt Trump, not Clinton, they decide to make the change.

    thats why i lost respect for obama almost immediately. his first run i bought into the transparency bullshit he was preaching. it didnt take long to realize he was just another politician. im sure trump will be the status quo soon. i just prefered a very slim chance over a criminal

    I don't see why you expect any other result since it is easily possible.

    All you need to vote is to be registered to vote in Oregon.

    That is very easy to do, all you need to registrar is an acceptable ID.
    Acceptable ID includes the following:

    • Valid photo identification, including driver's license.
    • Paycheck stub with name and address.
    • Utility bill with name and address.
    • Bank statement with name and address.
    • A government document with name and address.
