If this was well-arranged, impeachment legislation may already be drawn up. If quickly passed, it would neutralize Obama's ability to pardon Clinton or anyone else, for that matter. It would be a major blow to this administration's well-developed abilities to deflect or compromise prosecutions.
Impeachment legislation is not a thing. Also legislation can be vetoed by the President.
You impeach in the House and convict in the Senate. It takes a bit of time. Obama could shoot somebody in the middle of his press conference and still have time for plenty of pardons.

thanks for the legal clarity. I wonder how timing of this might be used for actions we're not aware are being planned
