They need to indict her so Obama can pardon her. She needs this cleared before Trump gets in office.

No need for indictment. Precedent was set by Ford.

Nixon was never indicted yet was pardoned.

Nope.
Nixon was preemptively pardoned - no indictment. Basically said “whatever he did is forgiven.”

Hillary has the goods on Obaman, and Obama has the goods on Hillary.

Thus, it is check, and never will be checkmate because either can expose the other. Neither dare do so.

This is why nothing will happen.

The next President could rescind the pardon.

She actually doesn't need to be indicted for Barry to pardon her. In fact, it is better for Barry's legacy that he blanket pardon her prior to any indictment.

If honest folks at FBI really want her, they gotta move fast. Shrillary is essentially running for immunity by seeking an office that offers no way to remove the holder except for impeachment where which she is counting on the feckless (R)epublicrats to continue their streak of doing nothing.

Theoretically, as President she could pardon herself, but that has never been tested obviously. All those fanciful statutory penalties concerning forfeiture of office cannot apply to a Constitutionally protected position and she knows it. She will no doubt push this thing right to the edge of Constitutional crisis territory.

Supposedly there is a Sergeant-At-Arms in the House empowered to arrest the President ( mentioned during the Watergate era ) under special circumstances, but this is not in the Constitution anywhere.

How cool would it be though for this former member of the Watergate lynch mob ( who was already so corrupt even back then that she was fired ) to be perp-walked out the front door hopefully in an orange mumu.

Another interesting but far-fetched scenario would be a test of the 25th Amendment cabinet removal for inability to discharge duties ( they were probably thinking of Woodrow Wilson's stroke ), but instead applied for her being so busy tied up in court and depositions ( ironic since her degenerate husband argued against Paula Jones case distracting the President, wait til I'm outta office folks! ). What a bunch of crooks.

Correct me if I am wrong, but don’t you need to be convicted of something before you can be pardoned? If indicted, I seriously doubt a conviction would come before the end of BHO’s term.
