The process of impeachment will suspend the presidential power of pardon.

Impeachment is not a criminal process. Its sanctions are limited to removal from office (thanks to the memory of Charlie I, no doubt!).

The power of pardon is over the federal criminal process.

Still unresolved is, can a president pardon himself (but that would be wrong, LOL) for criminal offenses committed while in office?

There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of criminal Democrats depending on their personal presidential pardon.

In case of impeachment, they can kiss their pardons goodbye.

Just little crack in the dam. Nothing to worry about.
