Giuliani asks for pre-emptive pardon...

Can you be pardoned for something you haven't been convicted of yet? It sounds a bit like a Monopoly Get out of Jail Free card.

Sure. Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon preemptively.

After Ford left the White House in 1977, he privately justified his pardon of Nixon by carrying in his wallet a portion of the text of Burdick v. United States, a 1915 U.S. Supreme Court decision that stated that a pardon carries an imputation of guilt and that its acceptance carries a confession of guilt.

@Doctor-Phibes I don't thing Rudy cares about that at this point in his life. He just doesn't want to go to Club Fed.
