I don't know what the burr under your saddle is, but Obama can't pre-pardon any charges that haven't yet been formally made, charges that might later be placed after he is out of office.

I really would like to see Mrs. Clinton be fined and serve time for what I see as her treasonous behavior, defalcations with government funds, and criminal negligence of handling highly sensitive national security information. Obama will never allow such charges to be placed. That is not a pardon. That is sovereignly refusing to prefer charges.

You are just wrong. Ford pardoned Nixon before any formal charges had been filed. Carter pardoned the draft dodgers before any charges had been filed. How would Obama pardoning Clinton be any different?
