Will Trump also outwit Obama by letting the clock run out on a pardon for Hillary?

The scenario of President Obama pardoning Hillary Clinton to prevent potential political reprisals from the incoming Trump administration was a topic of discussion following the 2016 presidential election. However, this did not come to pass.

President Obama did not pardon Hillary Clinton. The article from Lawfare discusses the arguments for and against such a pardon, suggesting that it could have been a way to prevent a politically motivated investigation, but ultimately, no pardon was issued1.

Therefore, the question of whether Trump would "let the clock run out" on a pardon for Hillary Clinton is moot, as the decision to pardon or not was entirely in President Obama's hands at the time, and he chose not to issue a pardon.
