This may sound silly. But I was wondering if the Trump administration decide to prosecute Hillary by a special prosecutor, can Obama then issue a pardon before he leaves office?

presidents do not prosecute.  Trump failed to tell the public he has no such powers. Only the congress can do that and there are enough Dems to block that. The attorney general can also but that would be so glaringly partisan that the nation will be out raged.

Congress does not have the authority to prosecute.  Congress is responsible for the War Powers Resolution and all budgetary and fiscal matters.

I think male chauvinism played a role in Hillary losing the election.  

I think so too.  And for good reason.  The President of the United States needs real balls to face Putin, ISIS, and the Middle East.  None of them has any respect for women.  You need a mad rass/bad ass like Trump to deal with them.

Impeachment is done in the Legislative branch of the US government - both Senate and Congress.

Gal, Congress is made up of Senate AND House of Rep.

Correct.  It's a bicameral legislature.  I was speaking in layman's terms.  Congress people are House of Reps. 

I understand, I do that sometimes too darlin.

Indeed what's written here sounds silly - how can a Trump Administration prosecute first and then an Obama Administration - President Obama-  (long gone) then pardon?

I know what he meant - I was just being facetious.

It's only the Justice department that can prosecute - that's Obama's Justice Department. Congress can only hold hearings or impeach a public official (and Hillary is a private citizen). So the question of prosecuting Hillary is moot now unless some court wants to hear VishMahabir's petition to haul her in court for god-knows-what.

President Trump will leave Hillary alone. As Bossman stated, she has already been punished by the public at the polls.

Time for America to move on beyond the loser Hillary.

Time to get the economy back on track and fix the mess that eight years of Democratic Socialist rule left the great nation United Sates under.

Failed socialism has ended.
