If a trial started tomorrow morning I suspect it would still be ongoing a year from now. I don’t think Barry would have an opportunity to pardon her.

He can pardon her right now on the grounds of protecting national security interests from any accidental slip ups a trial might lead to/reveal.

Sure he could, just like Ford did Nixon. Pardon her for any and all federal crimes committed,actual or implied, while secretary of state. Squash any further investigation during her time in that capacity.

He doesn’t have to wait for a conviction. For example, Ford’s pardon of tricky dick.

The President can pardon in advance, eg Ford's blanket pardon of Richard Nixon prior to indictment. I would expect Obama to do the same thing if Clinton is ever in jeopardy of indictment.
