The power of a presidential pardon would be nullified if they could not be in effect before convictions or even indictments. All the government prosecutor would need to do is pocket the charges or prosecution until after the presidents term.
Pardoned for what exactly?
Such a deal /s
I remember when there was a rumor Trump was going to do that
Of course the media has a meltdown about how bad and corrupt it would be
Video
Jake Tapper asks President-elect Biden about the rumor that Trump may issue some preemptive pardons before leaving office.
Biden: You’re not going to see me do that
FLASHBACK VIDEO.
Adam Schiff says:
The precedent of giving blanket pardons, preemptive blanket pardons on the way out of an administration, I think, is a precedent we don’t want to set.”

To me, this supports my hypothesis that each and everyone of them could be found guilty of treason, fraud, obstruction and a multitude of other high crimes and misdemeanors by a jury of their peers, otherwise, why the need from “preemptive” pardons?
Keepin’ the guilty fascist RATS out of prison.
Not even legal, I suspect they could be overturned as these are “preemptive”... In order to be pardoned they have to have been convicted, I think. I suspect these could be challenged and overturned.
I’m expecting Biden to pardon the guy who tried to assassinate Trump the second time.
Granting presidential pardons for unspecified crimes, for which there have been no indictments, needs to be challenged.
We can’t have a government where a potentate instigates crimes and cover ups by his political henchmen knowing he can absolve them of any accountability. How can any system survive that kind of self-serving manipulation?
“They” should go through the investigations just the same. Nail the perps for purgery if they don’t come clean. At least that way the public would know the crimes that were committed.
Not just the pardons, but also the breadth of them. They cannot be without some kind of constitutional limits.
Absolutism can become dangerously arbitrary. Can’t have that kind of unilateral power in a republic.
Not only would a pre-emptive pardon be nullified if adduced as a defense to an indictment.
Any prosecutor worth his salt would obtain the records and documents supporting the application or petition for the pardon and use them as an overall admission of guilt.
Whoever dreamed this up has put Liz Cheney and others right in the cross hairs.
LOL

President-elect Joe Biden says he’s concerned about reports that President Trump is considering a host of preemptive pardons for his adult children and lawyer Rudy Giuliani, as well as the possibility of one for himself

Isn’t it funny how all those “conspiracy theories” became pardonable acts?
These pardons create a list of unindicted co-conspirators.
Straight up admission of guilt. Straight up admission of a coordinated conspiracy.
Most states have the specification for treason included in their state constitutions. He who will not be named, along with the people he pardoned and his puppetmasters, should be charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced under the state crime of treason.
“Straight up admission of guilt. Straight up admission of a coordinated conspiracy.”

And straight up evidence of cover ups.
Like Hunter (aka, the "first druggie"), they are pardoned for anything illegal they have done, including anything illegal that hasn't been prosecuted, and for anything illegal or, in Fauci's case, anything inhumane they might have done.
Trump should pardon himself for everything and anything he has done or that he might have done or, in his case, anything and everything that he even thought about doing. This would cause the Democrat/Communist Party Left to feel ... uh ... very sad, indeed.
Pardons in general need to be revisited by the SCOTUS. In a word, it’s grossly unfair that a person (President) can pardon anyone he chooses while others who’ve been convicted of the same crime remain in prison or death row to carry out their sentence. There needs to be limits on who and for what a person can be pardoned.
