I’ve been reminded by many that Ford pardoned Nixon before Nixon was indicted. That is true. I also thought it was wrong at the time.

Allowing a president to pardon prior to indictment means that an unscrupulous president could plan illegal operations and pardon if discovered or have operatives who plan illegal activities and pardon if discovered.

It is an ‘indulgence pardon’, a ‘get out of jail free’ card.
