Presidents routinely Pardon and Commute The Sentences of a bunch of law-breakers before leaving office, don't they?
Yep. But usually they have already traversed due process.
Then Hillary is innocent until proven guilty. That's the American way. There's nothing to Pardon. Duh!

The way I am perceiving this information is that being a former first lady, there may be ways to pardon Bill and affiliations of wrong doing because it involves a former President directly, or because of Bill's former involvement with CIA director John Deutch? This would in turn, due to security reasons, force Trump to ease off a full legal press if so...

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

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.

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
There’s absolutely no reason for Hillary Clinton to not be charged. The American people didn’t just fight for her to lose the election, we also fought for her to be held accountable. Obama obviously knows that President Trump will work to indict Hillary and her team of cronies because the White House has made a major announcement concerning the issue.
“Donald Trump during the campaign pledged to jail Hillary Clinton if he was elected over the federal investigations that are underway. Some legal experts have said President Obama could close off that opportunity if he pardons Hillary Clinton. Is that something that the president is considering doing,” a reporter asked Earnest at the daily White House press briefing.
Josh Earnst responded by indicating that:
Why would Obama pardon her? Obama would pardon Hillary because he is also implicated in the email scandal. Obama claimed in an interview last year that he had no knowledge about Hillary using a private email server, yet his email address came up several times. In fact, WikiLeaks released an email showing that the Clinton camp emailed about holding off all communication to POTUS so he does not get involved in the mess.
If Obama pardons her, can President Trump do anything about it? Yes. The legality of the situation is very tricky. Legal precedent would allow Obama to pardon Hillary prior to her being charged with a crime. 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.
