“There will be an epic number of pardons issues by Obama on his way out. If you arent pardoned on Jan 21st 2017 you are too small to procecute.”
Can’t pardon someone if they aren’t charged with anything. If Trump wins, the DOJ will have to go after the Clinton’s before January 20 so they can be pardoned. Same with Lerner and the rest of them. Which means, Trump can go after them as he should.
Trump should also go after the media for destroying the true intent of freedom of the press. Hold reporters accountable for lying. Personally, I would take down the entire Journolista infrastructure.
Finally, all foundations like Tides and Clinton’s will be audited and punished to the full extent of the law.
Then after breakfast on the first day in office, start to clean house. Make it a 60 day program to clean up entire departments. Put strong leaders in charge of them with the goal of cutting them to the bone. Give Palin EPA or Interior.

"Cant pardon someone if they arent charged with anything."
That is NOT true. People keep saying it here, but it is false. As an example, Richard Nixon had never been indicted or impeached when Ford granted him a blanket pardon that covered any and all possible offenses during the entire range of Nixon's presidency. The presidential pardon power is nearly unlimited, this has been well established. The main limitation is that you can't be pardoned for FUTURE offenses. But for past offenses, it is possible to word the pardon to cover them very broadly, even without detail or specification.
"...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...."

Is called a preemptive parson. They can be issued, but rarely are. Nixon got one, for instance.
Obama will issue thousands of preemptive pardons. Watch it happen.
