I am disappointed at your ignorance of history and/or the presidential pardon power.

As demonstrated by Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter’s pardon of all persons, named or unnamed or dodged the draft, the pardon power extends to crimes whether charged or uncharged at the time of the granting of the pardon and may be granted in a blanket fashion.

Therefore, all President Trump had to do, subsequent to Jan 6 but prior to Jan 20, was issue a blanket pardon to any/all persons potentially chargeable with crimes related to activities in and around the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

😂

And I’m not surprised you think a president will issue a blanket pardon to an unknown and uncountable and unidentified group of people before they committed a crime.
