Since Powerline readers are probably thin on the ground in here, I thought I'd share the following from Powerline's Scott Johnson:

If President Trump were to take up the pardon solution, I think he would be well advised to include Hillary Clinton and the entire Clinton circle in the pardons. He could explain that he is trying to put the controversies arising from the past election behind us for the good of the country. It might make him look magnanimous and would have the additional advantage of driving them and their friends absolutely nuts.

How do you pardon someone who has not been charged, let alone convicted, of a crime?

Whether you agree with the decision or not, the FBI did not persue anyone for anything related to Clinton’s email case - you’d have to reopen the case and charge people in court at the very least to be able to pardon them and quite probably get convictions. Arpaio’s was unusual already in that he’d been convicted but not sentenced iirc.

And what, then, does it say about the FBI and the process that Trump would issue a pardon?

It drives you a little bit crazy, and gets you right out of the box that things have been contained within, doesn't it?
