He waited too long. Can he even pardon now?
Clinton said that he didn't sleep for the last three days in the White House because he was so busy issuing exective orders (remember the tightening of the arsenic in the water regulations that dogged GWB for months?) and granting pardons. Of course, things that are OK for a Dem are not always OK for a Republican.
“Can he even pardon now?”
With a stroke of the pen, you bet.
