If this report is accurate, White House lawyers are discussing pardons in advance for junior staff who worked on deportation, war, or trade policy. That would tell staff the government expects some of what it asks them to do could be unlawful. Courts and Congress could still examine what happened.

Can they be pardoned more than once? If they keep committing the same crimes?

This will just mean the states will have to step up

Are pardons made public and the staff outed? Asking for a non friend

Can Congress not set up an Inquiry, subpoena them and effectively invite them to perjure themselves?

If staff know that they are doing illegal things, why do they stay? Stockholm Syndrome?
