She can’t be pre-pardoned. Even if she is charged now, the trial won’t have concluded before the Kenyan squatter is evicted.

No, Ford pardoned Nixon without charges being filed.

Wasn’t Nixon prepardoned?

“She can’t be pre-pardoned.”

Nixon was.

That sounds logical, but I don't think that's correct. IIRC, Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon, and he hadn't been indicted for anything by the DOJ. And, although it was clear he would be impeached by Congress and convicted if he stayed in office, his resignation forestalled that. But, nevertheless, Ford pardoned him.

Yes, she can. Nixon was.

Ford set the precedent, he pardoned Nixon before he was charged.
