Some have speculated that Hillary Clinton could be pardoned before she’s even charged.

It’s a “blanket pardon” Obama could cloak her in to protect her from any charges levied at her.

However, Obama himself has cast doubt on that, saying he can’t pardon someone if they’re not charged.

Obama's excuse is nonsense. Ford did it for Nixon. What he really can't do is pardon the foundations and pre-empt any investigation. His pardon would not prevent non-criminal investigations, and would prevent any claim of 5th amendment privilege where there is no possibility of criminal charges. Barry might have reason to want Hillary to keep her mouth shut.

FORD PARDON OF NIXON

http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=4696

Gerald R. Ford
XXXVIII President of the United States
61 - Proclamation 4311—Granting Pardon to Richard Nixon
September 8, 1974

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Richard Nixon became the thirty-seventh President of the United States on January 20, 1969 and was reelected in 1972 for a second term by the electors of forty-nine of the fifty states. His term in office continued until his resignation on August 9, 1974.

Pursuant to resolutions of the House of Representatives, its Committee on the Judiciary conducted an inquiry and investigation on the impeachment of the President extending over more than eight months. The hearings of the Committee and its deliberations, which received wide national publicity over television, radio, and in printed media, resulted in votes adverse to Richard Nixon on recommended Articles of Impeachment.

As a result of certain acts or omissions occurring before his resignation from the Office of President, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States. Whether or not he shall be so prosecuted depends on findings of the appropriate grand jury and on the discretion of the authorized prosecutor. Should an indictment ensue, the accused shall then be entitled to a fair trial by an impartial jury, as guaranteed to every individual by the Constitution.

It is believed that a trial of Richard Nixon, if it became necessary, could not fairly begin until a year or more has elapsed. In the meantime, the tranquility to which this nation has been restored by the events of recent weeks could be irreparably lost by the prospects of bringing to trial a former President of the United States. The prospects of such trial will cause prolonged and divisive debate over the propriety of exposing to further punishment and degradation a man who has already paid the unprecedented penalty of relinquishing the highest elective office of the United States.

Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-ninth.

/s/ GERALD R. FORD

Yea, I knew this.

Maybe this is Obama's way of saying to Hillary: You screwed up protecting my legacy and now you are on your own, Babe.

Just maybe.

This delivers the Clintons into Trump's power. Now they cannot be out there as an organizing force of resistance. They have to play nice and quietly retire from the scene, or work in a way that is challenging Democrats for power, but not challenging Trump. Because if they get out of line, Trump can prosecute them.

Whatever pardon Obama does give to the Clinton's will happen only during the final week of his presidency, and more likely the last day or two. Right now he has to deal with Trump for the transition, and Obama will not make any more of his remaining term a living nightmare than necessary, not just because of Trump but because of Trump's supporters as well.

Obama can also use to the time to negotiate a good deal from the Clintons.

Or cant pardon her without knowing and stating exactly what to pardon her for.

After both Obamas campaigning for her pardoning her for crimes would be admitting that she committed crimes, and if she accepted then she would be admitting guilt too.

Worse I think, If the fbi doesn't go after clinton the NY City PD will,

Elected and unelected Bureaucrats, leeches, and cockroaches are all part of the same family in the animal kingdom.
