 JJ> Talk seems to be increasing of a possible Clinton
 JJ> resignation if the current allegations surrounding his sex
 JJ> scandal prove true. 
I'm not so sure that I want to give OwlGore 2 years of
practice Presidency prior to the Democratic convention.
 
 JJ> My question is this:  if there is strong evidence that he
 JJ> is guilty of obstruction of justice, witness tampering,
 JJ> suborning of perjury, etc., and does in fact resign.... are
 JJ> those charges for which he could be prosecuted criminally
 JJ> after he leaves office? 
Most definitely - that's why Ford pardoned Nixon; to
preclude the spectacle of a former President ending up in
court as a criminal defendant. 
The question is: will OwlGore risk his chance at
re-election by pardoning the Dufus?
 JJ> (My opinion is that the guy is a sexual predator, a
 JJ> pathological liar, a crook, and should be behind bars). 
Can't disagree there.
 JJ> This also raises in my mind that if he were to resign
 JJ> whether Gore would pardon him, as Gerald Ford did for Nixon
 JJ> following his resignation. 
Would *you* leave yourself open to felony charges, trusting
OwlGore to risk his reelection chances by pardoning you?
 JJ> Interesting points to ponder.
Indeed.
