That raises the question of if u can pardon someone for something they have yet to be charged with?
USA has done “preemptive strikes” and “enhanced interrogation “, I’m sure they will find a workaround.
Bit like anakin and “aggressive negotiations”
Yeah, Biden did that for Fauci and his (Biden’s) entire family before he left office.
