He can issue a pardon for crimes committed in the past that have not yet been prosecuted. (See Ford's pardon of Nixon)mloamiller wrote:What will he pardon?

Watch for this on Christmas eve or New Years eve.
Maybe it worked out for the best that she wasn't indicted by the current DOJ/FBI; if she had been, Obama most certainly would have pardoned her and it would be a done deal. But she wasn't. Now, if a new DOJ/FBI does decide to take up the investigation, she might actually get indicted. If so, I really don't think Trump will pardon her.
And I don't think Trump will really have to push for the continued investigation/indictment; the new heads of DOJ/FBI might do it on their own, once appointed. Heck, what do they really have to investigate? The current FBI already confirmed she broke the law; they just opted not to do anything about it.

Re: Will Hillary go to Jail?
She will be granted a pardon before Obama leaves office. (Just my guess)
