President Ford used exactly this process when he pardoned Nixon "for all crimes against the United States". This meant that Nixon could not be charged for Watergate, or using the IRS to investigate enemies, etc.

In the case of HRC, Obama would have to pardon John Podesta, Huma Abedin, half of the senior leadership of both the political appointees and senior staff of the State Department, and somehow figure out how to pardon himself. Remember, Obama also used an alias when he communicated with Hillary using her private server.

Of course, rather than give her a total blanket immunity he could pardon her for the use of her server and not say a word about the Clinton Foundation which is under investigation for "Pay to Play" access to her when she was SecState.
