So, he cannot pardon her if the FBI does not finish their investigation and bring charges before Obama leaves office, can he?
He can pardon her, but even if he did, she wouldn’t like it. Obozo would have to specifically list out the crimes she had already committed (even if she had not yet been charged for them) and again, it would not include any crimes committed AFTER the pardon date.
The more I think about it, she will not want a pardon because it ends her political career, and Obozo may actually pardon her for that very reason.
