Donald Trump has won the election and liberal crybabies everywhere are losing their mind. They are now starting to realize that this country has taken a stand and has chosen to drain our government of the corruption that has been sitting there for years.
At this moment, here is a list of the crimes Hillary Clinton and her team could be charged with right now:
Money laundering
Child exploitation
Sex crimes with minors (children)
Perjury
Pay to play through Clinton Foundation
Obstruction of justice
Other felony crimes

Call me crazy, but I feel pretty confident in saying that you need to actually be charged with a crime, indicted, and then sentenced for a crime, before you can actually be pardoned for it.
Ironically, the precedent Obama could use would come from Bill Clinton. Bill granted clemency to CIA director John Deutch, who was accused of mishandling classified information, prior to any charges being filed.

In order to pardon her, don't they have to admit she did something illegal?

In order to pardon her, she should be convicted first.

You would think that is how it would work, but according to Guiliani - it isn't.
He says a president can apparently give a blanket pardon that pardons the person for all activities done in the past.
If that is actually true something is very wrong with that.

Presidents routinely Pardon and Commute The Sentences of a bunch of law-breakers before leaving office, don't they?

It says they aren't ruling it out, making the title a bit misleading.

Yep. But usually they have already traversed due process.
