Hmmmmm...If you are writing from within the United States, then, I am not certain that that is true....In this country you have to be charged with a crime first.Then you go to court and guilt has to be proven by the prosecutor, then a judge or jury will determine innocence or guilt. If you are found guilty, then and only then would a pardon be required...
Former US President Richard Nixon received a "preemptive" unconditional pardon from then-sitting President Gerald Ford, even though Nixon had not yet been indicted.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_of_Richard_Nixon
Yeah, but the rules have changed a bit over the past 40 years since Nixon was pardoned. You now have to be convicted in order to be pardoned.
Here's the FAQ at the Justice website concerning presidential pardons and clemency if you are interested.
Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Executive Clemency | PARDON | Department of Justice
Nope, sorry, but saying that Obama will do it just because Nixon did, well, that doesn't work. The rules have changed since then, and you have to have served at least 5 years of a sentence to be considered for a pardon.
And...........Nixon's preemptive pardon was seen by all as a mistake on the part of Ford, and some even said it might have been unconstitutional. Matter of fact, his pardon of Nixon is one of the things that made him lose reelection.
Here's the thing...
One cannot APPLY for a Presidential Pardon without the conviction and five-year waiting period referenced on the web page you supplied (thanks)..
However...
I see nothing barring a sitting President from initiating and granting a Pardon without the application (i.e., through the initiative of the President him-or-herself)...
For example, Ford initiated the Pardon, rather than Nixon applying for it...
And if - IF - it is legal for a President to initiate such a process, without the Application Rules getting in the way, then, the prospect of a Pardon is still on the table...
Or so it seems, to this observer...
However, history has taught us that granting a pardon before a trial for a public official is highly disliked by the American people. If Obama did that, it would be political suicide, and he's got plans for after he retires from office to help out the DNC. If he pardoned Hillary like Nixon got pardoned, the DNC would never forgive him, nor would they listen to him ever again. Not only would it be political suicide for Obama, but something like that would almost certainly destroy the DNC.
Obama can not commit political suicide, as his politicking days are already dead

I guess you missed the part where I said it would not only kill his career, but would also hit hard on the DNC, because Hillary and Obama are both Democrats and it could be seen as him trying to cover up for his party. So no, because of the optics of it now, as well as the optics when it was done for Nixon, there is no way in hell that Obama will try to preemptively pardon Clinton.
