I just sent President Obama an email [View all]

I asked him to give Hilary a pardon on his very last day, not because she has done wrong, but for the good of our country to keep her from being used as a pawn whenever Trump needs to distract us. I can see Trump getting in trouble and suddenly finding more emails that have to be investigated. It probably won't work, but I tried.

We have 19 days left if anyone has anything they want to tell him. He reads 10 emails a day on video to stay in touch with us.
