Democratic pollster Patrick Caddell told Breitbart News Saturday radio host Matthew Boyle that the controversies surrounding Hillary R. Clinton, just rebooted by the FBI, will not go away after the Nov. 8 election–especially if she wins the White House. If the campaign between Clinton and her Republican rival Donald J. Trump was fought on the issues, Trump would win and the next big question would be how to handle criminal charges against the former first lady, he said.
“Somebody has got to ask her: If she is elected will she appoint a special prosecutor, nominated by an impartial panel of judges? Will she guarantee the American people she will not pardon herself?” he said.
Boyle jumped in to add: “Also, I think, President Obama has to be asked if he’ll pardon her.”
“I am shocked nobody has mentioned it,” Caddell said.
“One thing we do know, this is not going away,” he added.
“Immediately, she is going to be consumed into this kind of scandal–is that what the American people want the presidency to be come the next term?” he asked Boyle and the listeners. Breitbart News Saturday is heard on SiriusXM The Patriot Channel 125.
Boyle said to Caddell that during the 1998 impeachment crisis, President William J. “Bill” Clinton, the husband of the 2016 Democratic nominee, promised that he would not give himself a pardon.

The American people need to wrestle with the fact that even if Clinton is elected president, she will still have to address the email scandals and all the others that are surrounding it, such as the Clinton Foundation and the things revealed in WikiLeaks, Caddell said.
Caddell said President Barack Obama has been central to so many scandals himself.
“He has lied about everything,” he said. “This is a man who has presided over the Justice Department, the IRS investigation, who says: ‘Oh, I’m going to get to the bottom of it’ and then, ‘Oh, there’s nothing there.'”
The president has abused his executive authority in ways Nixon only wished he could use, Caddell said.
Comparing the media’s treatment of Obama and the Clintons with the way the media treated Nixon, the pollster and political consultant said it was night and day.
The same media outlets that hounded Nixon out of office are now laying down for Obama and the Clintons, he said.
Caddell said in both the national and state Breitbart/Gravis polls, voters are asked if the media is biased.
Overwhelmingly, the public sees the the bias, especially in favor of Clinton over Trump, he said. “Ten-to-one in our national poll–they’re not stupid, the American people.”
