Yes you can. Look at the pardon of Nixon as an example.

“Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.”

No named crime was needed.

Thanks for the catch. That would seem to cover it, wouldn’t it.

I wonder if it would have protected him against a charge of murder.

That would not have been a crime against the United States. It would be a crime against a private citizen.

Knowing Hillary the list of things would have been about 75 pages long, but if worded right, you may have proven it wouldn’t be necessary. I agree.
