Obama will pardon her and others No, he will not.
To pardon anyone, they must first be convicted of a crime. Hillary will not even be indicted let alone convicted of anything while Obama remains in office. That fix has already been settled.
President Trump may choose to authorize an indictment and trial of Hillary Clinton. He will need to clean out the Justice Department and the FBI before proceeding with such a policy. It will take a few months at the very least.
By that point, ex-President Obama will have no say in the matter.

Sorry guys, you are both wrong. The Pardon Power of the President is very broad. Ford pardoned Nixon for unindicted crimes, for example.

No. Nixon was neither indicted nor convicted of any crime.
Now, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.

As slow as the investigations have been, trial would be even slower years. Then you have appeals.
