They have to be convicted of something first, no? Let’s save to prosecution until after 1/20/17. Thanks. Meanwhile Obama needs to be prosecuted, too.
Obama can issue a full unconditional pardon before they are convicted or indicted. There is a well known precedent for this.
No. On September 8, 1974, Gerald Ford issued Nixon a pardon for any crimes "he might have committed against the United States". Please mark my words... on the last day of his presidency 1/19/17 Obama will pardon Hillary, Bill and a whole list of political insiders from the DNC, the Justice Department, the judiciary, the FBI, Congress and other agencies with similar wording. The collusion goes very deep. Nixon's pardon was never challenged. These pardons will be challenged in many cases. Whether they stand will ultimately depend on the Supreme Court.
