I don't think bringing her up at any time, is at all irrelevant, she could have been President, let's face it, she ran on a half baked campaign of 'She wants to be the President because it's her turn. ' Wow, so awe-inspiring, not.

Given the link I posted to above, this Russian Uranium Scandal with links to the Clinton Foundation, is fresh news and since, especially she cannot stay irrelevant herself, promoting her book in the UK, of all places and going on about losing the election, she was meant to win and then going on about Brexit.

Well over 12 months later and still nothing concrete, not that Mueller himself is legitimately qualified to investigate. Many times, it's been said, Mueller has breached the 'conflict of interest clause', being a good friend of James Comey for a start and then bringing in a grand jury, some of those said to be Obama/Hillary Clinton supporters and donors. Hardly seems fair and impartial does it ?

As for them looking in to the extent of the Pardoning power. There are those in congress who have tried and failed to scale back it's power. But as some may know. A President cannot be indicted while in office, they have to be impeached first, which takes a lot of time and effort. Said this before, the Constitution was not written to make it easy to remove a sitting President from office.

So while the argument is, President cannot pardon himself, if removed from office, he just gets his running mate to do it once he's sworn in to office, like Nixon's running mate did for him upon Nixon's resignation. But let's not forget he has to have committed a crime first or abused his Presidential powers.

Lots of Republicans in the Rust Belt, had to put up with Obama for 8 years, unless Mueller has something solid on Trump and something spectacular happens for the Democrats, in the upcoming mid terms, Donald will be with us until 2021, or 2025 if he is voted in for another term.
