If he is not convicted until after the inauguration, then 0bama will not be able to pardon him, is this correct?

He doesn't even have to have been charged with a crime for Obama to be able to issue a blanket pardon for "any and all acts committed while acting as Attorney General", AFAIK. That can be done on Obama's last day in office, or any time before.

This raises a good question...can the president pardon someone for something he’s done but hasnt been convicted of (or even charged with) yet, or can a pardon only happen after a convicion?
In other words, does a pardon apply to conduct or conviction?

As was Nixon, the President can pardon people from crimes as yet unproven.

A pardon can be issued anytime, even before an indictment.
