From Obama’s perspective there are several reasons to deny her a pardon.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

I believe that obama will pardon her, “for the good of the country” and in his head, it will make him appear to be magnanimous.

Can he pardon her in advance of charges? He could possibly pardon her for any crimes charged before he leaves office, but if he tries to write something like a pardon in advance for “any charges relating to...” that's pretty risky. And since he was her boss, I doubt it would have force of law anyway. However, wouldn't put it past PO(TU)S to even pardon himself. RINOcrats would treat it as valid.

“...it will make him appear to be magnanimous.”

I think that “Obama the Narcissist” is more concerned about sharing the stage with the Clintons as an influential President Emeritus. He has a long standing dislike of the Clintons from the 2008 election primaries. His appointment of Hillary as Sec. of State is application of the old saw “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”

Hillary is the enemy held close and she conveniently took the rope he handed her and put it around her own neck. Obama will wash his hands of her and let Trump hang her keeping his skirts clean......two birds one stone.

Get rid of the Clintons and let the left blame Trump for it....

It’s the Italian in me that says this is the course I would take in the same situation.....Revenge served cold by one enemy against another enemy.
