But only on crimes with a resultant court outcome.Negatory, good buddy. I will go with the Heritage Foundation, here. It cannot be used to waive future crimes (or it would be waiving the law and we all know the President cannot do that [smirk]) and it only applies to Federal laws. We would need a State to use State law and hope that the Feds do not abscond with the case saying multiple states were involved, hence it is covered by the pardon.

There is nothing in the Constitution that says a president's pardon can come before adjudication of the wrong. This is simple to understand, because a crime has not been provably committed until a court rules it was.
Look at your law: We stay innocent until proven guilty.
