are most pardons expressed as forgiving all crimes before the date of the pardon?
and if that is the case, having charges not brought up for trial would be moot, lest they occurred after the issuance of the said pardon.
I believe you have to name the issue the pardon is for.
I don’t think you can just say, “You are hereby pardoned for anything you may have ever done in your life.”
With Hillary, the reading of a self-pardon would be a very delicious thing. We could read exactly what it is she thinks she needed to be pardoned for.
LOL, that would be a hoot.
