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.

He should wait until the end of the second term he’s going to secure for Trump.

Nobody's going to stick the old guy in jail in 2028.

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.

Maybe the democrats will give the GOP the gift of going after many people in Trump’s Adminstration. 2022 already looks like a good set up for the GOP to retake the House these acts would ensure that.
