"It doesn’t make sense to do it in advance imo. If pardons can be made in advance why have laws? Can 0bama simply pardon everyone right now ... and it would be over?"

Maybe, but it also might spark a general political or civil uprising so it is risky. However, more likely, I think, is a blanket pardon for "all crimes committed or which may have been committed" issued on the last day of Obama's Presidency.

Yes I recall those exact words.

But we’re missing something.

Maybe the potential crimes have to be named, or have to be qualified in some way?

Otherwise, criminal enterprises like the regime we have now will simply pardon everyone for everything.
