Trump is considering mass pardons for his enablers. I have some ideas about how they could be undone. Liz Oyer

Cant pre-pardon, as pardon is based on a crime being commited. That could envisage a person commit murder just before the pardon is issued, are they pardoned for the murder?

It’s not pre-crime, it’s pre-charge. The crimes have been committed, and are ongoing as we speak.

We know the crimes are on going, but til they are found guilty they can't be pardoned if no federal felony exists. Like DoJ case not to ratify alaska vote, votes do exists yet

It does not need to be specific. Here’s an example of a partly specific, partly general pardon. www.justice.gov/d9/2024-12/b...

POTUS can claim any pardon he wishes. Whether it stands up in court is a different question. Prosecutors should feel free to charge any crimes not specifically listed.

Can't have an umbrella pardon
