According to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), at least two of the emails contained “Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information.” An ordinary person–or even a well-known leader like General David Petraeus–would be prosecuted for moving classified information onto a private system. And that is just the beginning of her legal problems. Clinton not only allegedly exchanged classified information via private e-mail, but also destroyed her emails before handing them over to the State Department before the government could determine for itself which were personal and which were job-related. That could constitute a felony, with a three-year prison sentence attached. And that is just the beginning of what is known. It is worth noting, too, that much of the information emerging on Hillary Clinton first emerged from three sources: the Benghazi select committee, which the left attempted to dismiss; the independent Judicial Watch organization, which submitted key Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests; and the thorough research of Peter Schweizer, who documented Clinton’s alleged conflicts of interests. This time, the Clinton magic may not be able to save her. 
Hillary Clinton is going to prison–or would be, if she were an ordinary prison. The FBI has reportedly taken possession of the emails on her home computer server, according to U.S. officials cited by the Associated Press.

This time, the Clintons have given Obama the weapon by which he can destroy their power base for good and take over full control of the party. Biden will be the nominee. Obama will pardon Hillary before he leaves office, but not before the Election.
You can't pardon someone before they are convicted. At least I don't think you can. Trump gets in and she will go to prison.
Annoyingly, a president has broad discretion in pardons. Including pre-emptive pardons. You recall that Ford gave a "full, free and unconditional pardon" to Nixon on 9/8/74. The classic case. Wiki: List of people pardoned or granted clemency by the President of the United States Obola's list is pretty short, meaning he is cooking up a real doozy of an outbound pardon. Mass mass pardons for illegals or for non-violent drug offenders. Something big. It would be consistent with his low character and craving for some durable achievement, anything really.
Essentially, the President's pardon power is plenary, i.e., without limit. Nixon was pardoned for any crimes he may have committed, without naming any.
But is it? Can a president pardon himself? In perpetuity? I'd be afraid to bring a case like that to the Supreme Court these days.
[H]e shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. I believe it would be considered implicit that his power did not extend to his own offenses. Close friends and associates whose trial might incriminate him are ok. Bush pardoned an indicted Weinberger preventing a trial. I just don't think SCOTUS would support a self-pardon.
