I was under the impression that the POTUS could pardon anyone.

[pogo101]

The President ... shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 1.

Of course, with THIS President, who knows what extra-legal baloney he may try to pull in January 2017.
