I’m not saying you are wrong but do you have a credible link that says it is law that a president can pardon someone that hasn’t been charged from anything they may have done?

Nixon was never charged. Ford pardoned him.

That’s not a link to the current law about presidential pardons.

Thanks for that. I don’t remember hearing anything about a challenge to Ford’s pardon of Nixon but then everyone was SICK AND TIRED OF THE WHOLE DAMN AFFAIR back then and I don’t know what coverage that got on the news. Plus there was no internet. I still hold to the fact that Nixon had been accused of a crime and Hillary hasn’t so there is nothing to pardon her for.

“Under the Constitution, the president may pardon only persons convicted or accused of federal crimes and offenses prosecuted by the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia in the name of the United States in the D.C.”

Where has she been formally accused?
