 the double standard of only punishing people of color and the poor, you will have the nerve to free and pardon those who did their time for the crime and offer them a clean slate and a new start. President Lincoln pardoned Jefferson Davis and other Confederates who engaged in treason against the United States of America in the effort to bind up and healed the wounds after the Civil War. President Ford did the same thing with respect to Richard Nixon after Watergate, even though he had violated dishonor and debased the Constitution. While it was clear that he would have been impeached and convicted and driven from office legally and technically, he was never indicted, tried, not convicted of anything. Unique to Ford and Nixon was that Nixon was never officially accused, tried to even sort of pardon. President Ford was simply determined to stop the potential harm restrained the hemorrhaging and healed the wounds. There are those in the Angan spirit of retribution who want to use Hillary Clinton as a trophy in the name of false justice. It would be wise in the name of justice and the lineage of Lincoln and Ford to President Obama to do the same and to pardon Hillary Clinton. President-elect Trump, while the President's a candidate, promised to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton and tried to put her in prison, even though Secretary Clinton has not been legally accused, indicted, tried, or convicted of anything. President Obama should follow President Ford's example and offer a preemptive full pardon and inoculation against politically motivated prosecution in the spirit of healing the divisions in our country. To do otherwise will only exacerbate divisions and hardened feelings on both sides. It would be a monumental moral and political mistake to pursue the prosecution of Hillary Clinton. Such a mean-spirited action against her would unleash a nasty spirit of the nation and would damage our government.
