      How many cases were adjudicated before 1/20?

          I think it quite relevant.

          The FBI was still investigating the death of the Capitol Police officer. Things were very much in a state of flux. Just think how agitated you'd be if Trump had pardoned somebody before their guilt or innocence was established.

            Please note the nonviolent offender part of the statement.

              Neither he nor his guys would believe the witch hunt that has happened since then.

              It was just a few doofusses taking selfies. No big deal.

              It should have been forgotten within a few days.

              But if the lies get told over and over, they grow and take on new life.

              We have seen some victims of that media blitz right here.

                I don’t think anyone had really been charged yet. I’d also think the recipient would have to be named.

                  I believe there's only been one preemptive presidential pardon - Nixon.

                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    Was this preemptive?

                    Both during and after the American Civil War, pardons for ex-Confederates were given by US Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson

                      No, it was magnanimity on the part of the victors. Very different.

                        According to the Whitehouse Historical Association it was.

                        Abraham Lincoln issued preemptive pardons during the Civil War and so did Jimmy Carter, who pardoned Vietnam draft evaders who had not been charged for their actions.

                        https://www.whitehousehistory.org/the-history-of-the-pardon-power#:~:text=They include%3A pardon%2C amnesty%2C,imposed by a federal court.

                        And then there was the case of the distillers in the backwoods of Kentucky and Pennsylvania. The first preemptive pardon.

                        Washington gathered a militia, had a uniform made and headed to Pittsburgh to confront the distillers himself — making him the only president to take up arms against his own people, Coe wrote.

                        He thought better of it and turned around before the confrontation, but troops still arrested more than 150 people on charges of treason. Two were convicted, but Washington — in a show of national unity and perhaps some embarrassment — pardoned the entire group.

                          Don’t care what the White House Hustorical Historical Assoc calls it and even less what the Washington Post writes about it.

                                  It was Carter’s blanket pardon of the draft evaders that I was thinking of as the precedent. These guys weren’t identified, but identification was possible and ongoing. Similar to January 6th. They hadn’t been adjudicated yet… Trump could have easily issued some general pardons on very specific guidelines.

                                          Like I already told you, I don’t believe you do either. That shouldn’t be too difficult for you to comprehend.

                                          The difference is that I am right and you are wrong.

                                          As always.

                                          Just accept it and move on, you are embarrassing yourself.
