Executive orders, pardons, ‘midnight’ regulations expected as Obama presidency draws to close

Look out for the executive orders, the “midnight” regulations and, perhaps most controversially, the pardons.

As President Obama runs out the clock on his eight-year tenure, analysts say, he still has plenty of business left undone, and they expect him to follow the lead of other presidents and issue a series of rules, to add to his list of executive orders, to continue his record-setting pace of commutations and perhaps add a controversial pardon or two into the mix.

“I do think a pardon for Huma and Weiner might happen,” said Michael McKenna, a Republican lobbyist, referring to Huma Abedin and her estranged husband, Anthony D. Weiner, whose emails are being scoured by the FBI for wrongdoing.

Can't do anything about the pardons but all the EO's will be flushed down the toilet when Donny gets in.

I fully expect the most controversial pardons to be for the Clintoons.

Issue an EO revoking his passport. then an EO revoking each action he has taken since the day he was elected. Two can play that game. Let the liberals defend it. They can't have it both ways.

You cannot teach liberals. You have to treat them in terms they understand.

Revoke their passports as well as a national security measure.

His EOs are moot at this point as he was defeated two days ago.

They still work until he leaves office. He will do as much damage as he can with them.
