I think pardoning him after his coronation would have the same effect. Notice how the peanut gallery has no response?

as a member of the peanut gallery I did not receive a mandate requiring an immediate response. Since you asked , Trump has many items on his list Assange is not even on the radar at this point.

American would be anyone that would vote for a Presidential candidate under FBI investigation.

No, but the protests are, which are unprecedented in US politics. I just finished sending emails to 13 companies that supported Trump saying I would no longer do business with them. I would imagine that many thousands of others are severing ties in a similar fashion. The consumer dollar will register more with the GOP than the protests.

If the FBI is "fair and balanced" there are plenty of things to investigate on Trump.

it was not under the Obama administration. what will be interesting is to see what comes out of the Clinton investigations now that those results are no longer covered up by the DOJ

J Edger Hoover investigated Harry Truman, Adlai Stevenson, John friend. Kennedy, Robert friend. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Hubert Humphrey.a
newfie - Indicated maybe was possible for Clinton but a crime has to be committed for true conviction. Keep in mind their was no "intentional unauthorized disclosures" by Clinton.
What can't be argued is the 3500 legal actions by and against Trump throughout history.

what cant be argued is that Hillary was the first presidential candidate to not only have one but two FBI investigations hanging over her head. What also cant be argued is that Hillary is easily the most corrupt candidate to ever run for office.
Maybe she is related to the Kennedy's?

You're an idiot.
Ronald Reagan
Reagan's administration was beset by an endless string of scandals.
- A huge procurement scandal called Operation Ill Wind, which gutted the military and Defense Department.
- A massive scandal that involved HUD.
- A copyright infringement case in the Department of Justice called the Inslaw Affair.
- The EPA's Sewergate scandal.
Richard Nixon
The gold standard of presidential corruption, Nixon is the only POTUS in history to have to resign as he was facing certain impeachment after the Watergate scandal.
But Watergate isn't the only scandal that tarred Nixon and his administration.
- Nixon's vice president, Spiro Agnew, also had to resign about a year before Nixon did after he was implicated in a tax evasion scheme.
- Nixon's CIA director, meanwhile, was convicted of conducting illegal surveillance on U.S. journalists and plotting assassinations in Chile.
- Nixon's SEC chair had to resign after less than three months in office after altering a negative finding against a Nixon fundraiser.
Harding served only two years before his death in 1923, but his administration was consumed by both personal and political scandal.
- Harding was a notorious philanderer, and in the waning days of his time in the senate, he was blackmailed by a former mistress who threatened to expose their affair if Harding didn't vote against war with Germany.
- Harding's cabinet had the dubious distinction of being the first to have a member convicted of a crime, after Secretary of the Interior Albert Fell was sent to prison as part of the Teapot Dome scandal, in which Fell accepted bribes to lease the Navy's oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming, to private companies.
- The Teapot Dome scandal also claimed Harding's secretary of the Navy.
- Harding's attorney general resigned in 1924 over a bootlegging kickback scheme.
- Two other Harding department heads were convicted of bribery and fraud: Charles Forbes, for massively defrauding the government while building VA hospitals, and Office of Alien Property head Thomas Miller, for illegally selling German patents seized after World War I.
Grant himself was known for his honesty, but his administration was likely the most corrupt in the 19th century.
A near-ceaseless flow of money from speculation and western expansion led to an epidemic of corruption, and Grant responded by stubbornly protecting those accused of graft.
- A massive conspiracy to pilfer tax revenue from whiskey sales, called the Whiskey Ring, snared more than 100 federal, state, and local officials.
- The secretaries of the Navy, of war and of the treasury all faced allegations of bribery and taking kickbacks.
- The Salary Grab Act was passed by Congress at the end of Grant's first term to enact gigantic retroactive pay raises for itself and to increase the salary of the president.
- Grant's administration was gutted by the Credit Mobilier scandal, in which a construction company massively overcharged the Union Pacific Railroad. The company pulled off the scam thanks to millions in bribes paid to the vice president, the secretary of the treasury, four senators, and the speaker of the House.
Andrew Jackson
The inherently corrupt "spoils system," under which government officials were hired based on what they'd done for the incoming administration rather than on merit, dominated politics in the 19th century. It began with Andrew Jackson, who purged the ineffectual career bureaucracy of past administrations — and his administration was beset by a mob of office-seekers in response.
Jackson was unable to keep federal offices nonpartisan and rewarded lucrative jobs to donors, friends, business associates, newspaper editors who had written in support of Jackson, Army veterans, and seemingly random characters.
The result was a cavalcade of theft and corruption in distant offices and military posts, including $1.2 million embezzled from the New York City Customs House, the most lucrative point of entry in the U.S.
It took decades to dismantle the spoils system that started under Jackson — and it can be argued that it's never gone away completely.
