At a minimum, I think they can do a pocket/secret pardon that is kept secret until it might become necessary Silent Type Dec 5 #2

The only impediment that I can see is how do you pardon anyone who is guilty of no crimes?? Rhiannon12866 Dec 5 #3

say if trump goes after Smith, Harris, etc.

While I think trump is mostly blustering, it’s probably wise to protect potential targets.
