A "blank pardon"

A "blank pardon"

by digby



Yes, she's dumb, but she swims in the same fever swamp as millions of other Trump voters:
Speaking with “Trending Today USA” host Rusty Humphries yesterday, former Republican congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann declared that Hillary Clinton should be in jail and said she “would not be surprised” if President Obama issues a “blank pardon” for Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton before leaving office on Friday. 
Bachmann objected to Obama’s commutation of the sentence of Chelsea Manning, whom she referred to as Bradley Manning, and claimed that Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state “most likely” caused “America’s most vital secrets” to be “intercepted” and “released to the world.” 
“We had the worst intelligence failures ever in the history of the United States under Barack Obama,” she said, “by Bradley Manning, by Edward Snowden and by none other than our secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, who because of her selfishness in having an unsecured server set up in her home had America’s most vital secrets intercepted, most likely, by our enemies and released to the world. Barack Obama should be ashamed, Bradley Manning should be in jail and Hillary Clinton, in my opinion, should be there with him.” 
“I would look for a pardon coming for Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton and the Clinton Foundation before noon on Friday,” she said, noting that people not charged with crimes can be “pre-pardoned.” 
“I would not be surprised if we don’t see Barack Obama issue a blank pardon for anything Bill, Hillary, Chelsea or the Clinton Foundation has done,” she said.

Just so you know going in --- all the emerging information about Trump's corruption is going to be met with the inane response that Crooked Hillary was worse, with veiled threats to throw her in jail or worse.
