Because this is how you restore faith in government... :O

These are going to be some interesting times, but it seems like there are some seriously powerful entities trying to right the ship right now.

Even though I have become so cynical that it's hard for me to believe anything is moving in the right direction, a quick google of the man in the video's name does leave quite an impression.

Burn it to the ground.
Salt the Earth.

Start over elsewhere and add a few amendments to prevent .gov from becoming a Leviathan...

What's the point of making the video? To enthuse potential Trump voters?

We tried the second part already.

If any of what he is saying is true, I don't think it matters who wins the election. If hillary wins, and she end sup in prison, the worst case is that Tim Kaine ends up president... not sure that would be all that bad in the end.

If she wins, does Obama pardon her before he leaves office?

Can he issue a blanket pardon for everything so far?  Specifically listing the crimes she's already under investigation for and any more that might be discovered by then could take more paper than even FedGov has ever tried to buy at once.

Ford did it for Nixon.

After Ford left the White House in 1977, he privately justified his pardon of Nixon by carrying in his wallet a portion of the text of Burdick v. United States, a 1915 U.S. Supreme Court decision which stated that a pardon indicated a presumption of guilt, and that acceptance of a pardon was tantamount to a confession of that guilt.[8]

Still some weasel words in there, don't know if that's the wiki writer or it's actually in the decision: "indicated," "presumption," "tantamount."  But I have not read the actual case cited.

I doubt the Court, being composed of lawyers, used such plain English as,  "The SOB is guilty as hell if he accepts the pardon."

In the above plain-English version, feel free to use a "D" for "Daughter" in "SOB," and "she" for "he" as appropriate.
