Can you pardon someone for a crime they haven’t even been charged with yet?

Don’t you have to at least be officially charged or indicted to be pardoned? Why doesn’t he go ahead and pardon her from any future crimes cause you know she isn’t gonna stop!

Isn’t that an admission of guilt? A fitting end to the Clintons.

I’m willing to bet the Cash Price for Hillary’s Pardon is already being negotiated by the Clinton Foundation... err.. I mean, Clinton Legal Defense Fund, right now.

0bama will do it, and he’ll mirror the language of the Nixon pardon.

He would be doing Trump a favor by pardoning her. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if it comes up at their meeting tomorrow.

He has no choice but to pardon her.

If he doesn't, she will out the usurper who stole the best chance at POTUS she had, in 2008.

Why is this an issue? Comey said THEY could not find a reason to press charges.

ANY conversation about this? It is a none issue unless the old regime and Rinos have reason to fear.

"Can you pardon someone for a crime they haven’t even been charged with yet?"

That was my first thought, too.
Unless they quickly charge and convict her before January, then he pardons her. Man, that would be a pretty risky ploy - considering they hate each other....

If she skates then there has been no point whatsoever to what we think we have accomplished.

Yes, it is an admission of guilt. Hellary’s arrogance may prevent her to not accept an Obama pardon.
