Well, I don’t think you can pardon someone for crimes they have not yet committed, and lying to the FBI or the Congress in any future inquiry would certainly be a brand new crime.

just maybe, “real soon now”.

More bait for those concerned that the Swamp is winning.

Pardon precludes asserting 5A privilege at C-hearings. Could get interdasting.
