The important thing is that everyone at least knows, or could know if they educated themselves, what she did. The next important thing is whether or not given that information, she will become the next President.
So not to spell out the obvious... but, either she's the next President, and very clearly not a felon, or she is not the next President, and exactly one Administration will have a chance at proving she is a felon, until the statue of limitations runs out.
Personally, I think it's a crazy bet Hillary is taking. Her life is on the line with this election. The best thing Obama could have done for Hillary is charge Hillary himself, and not let her take this risk, and then pardon her if necessary. When she ultimately sees her day in court, you probably want that to happen under a friendly Administration. Some sort of plea agreement perhaps. Double jeopardy is required for Hillary to be safe from a long statue of limitations.
I don't think the President can pardon someone who hasn't been charged yet. So even if she wins this election, she could still be charged by the next administration.
