This is not something you have to do for people who are not felons

Apparently, the Obama administration is less convinced than FBI Director James Comey that Hillary Clinton did nothing worth prosecuting by using a private email server to handle her official correspondence, including classified communications, while she was secretary of state:

The White House on Wednesday refused to say whether President Barack Obama would consider pardoning Hillary Clinton for her email scandal, but appeared to issue a warning to President-elect Donald Trump, saying powerful people should not exploit the criminal justice system for "political revenge."

So weird. Normally, people who have done nothing illegal don't need pardons.
