There can be no pardon in the absence of a conviction and penalty.

There is no case. Certainly, in fewer than 10 days!

The only president who could pardon anyone is Trump.

[Clay Moore]

“There can be no pardon in the absence of a conviction and penalty.”

“NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.”
