Dick Morris Predicts that Obama Will Pardon Hillary Clinton Today! (vid)
Published:
Interesting that Morris cites two instances of pardons having been granted then revoked by incoming president. Those pardon revocations were upheld by the courts so precedence set.

The news media has been saying that Presidential pardons can not be over turned by an incoming President. So much for fake news.
"........Ulysses S. Grant's first clemency decision, on his third day in office, was to revoke two pardons granted by Andrew Johnson. Both men challenged Grant's power to do so, and lost their case in federal court. A central passage in a judicial opinion read:
"If the president can arrest the mission of the messenger went the messenger has departed but ten feet from the door of the presidential mansion, he can arrest such mission at any time before the messenger delivers the pardon to the warden of the prison."
The fact that"the president" - in this case - meant two different presidents (Johnson and Grant), and the fact that - in this case - the warden had actually received the pardons but simply stuck them in his desk for a while, did not matter. The pardons had not actually been placed in the hands of Moses and Jacob DePuy, so the two men stayed in prison and were pardoned (by Grant) later.... "
