Pre-crime? I am confused.
How would Obama pardon him if he has not yet been convicted by a GOP AG?
Can someone get a blanket pardon for crimes committed but not yet convicted? Just wondering.
see richard Nixon
In the case of Nixon, he wasn't ever indicted.
Usually, with a pardon comes admission of guilt.
Ford wanted a statement of contrition instead, but waived that also.
Nixon ended up getting a full pardon, without ever being indicted and without ever admitting guilt.
Obama could likewise pardon Reid
(Or throw him under the bus like he does everyone else)
