I don't think it's permissible to have a preemptive pardon.

You have to be convicted of a crime before you can request pardon

You can take it to the bank that near the last day of his term of office, Barack Obama will be issuing NUMEROUS pardons for many of his operatives (e.g., Eric Holder). The pardons will use verbiage such as “for any and all crimes that may have been committed during so-and-so’s term of service”. Obama and his crew do not want his “transparency” policy to end with his presidency.
