Constitution says preemptive pardons are invalid

The constitution says offenses are pardoned. It does not say convictions are pardoned.

Trump didn't have any problems pardoning people who hadn't been convicted. Are you sure you didn't just make this up now?
What offenses against the US are they all guilty of, Moroner?
 
The whole idea of a preemptive pardon is nonsense. Like talking about a non-deadly murder.


The Bouvier's Legal Dictionary - the only legal dictionary available to the founders defines PARDON


PARDON, crim. law, pleading. A pardon is an act of grace, proceeding from the power entrusted with the execution of the laws, which exempts the individual on whom it is bestowed, from the punishment the law inflicts for a crime he has committed. 7 Pet. S. C. Rep. 160.

 
Just because a person hasn't been formally charged, doesn't mean they haven't committed a chargeable offense. Now that xiden crime family has immunity, there's nothing stopping them from laying out the whole pay for play scheme for congress. And should they tell provable lies, they can be charged for that..

Mick Mulvaney just said the swampiest thing ever
"If you were a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn't talk to you. If you were a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you." - Mick Mulvaney
 
No. The preemptive pardon is legal for any federal offenses other than impeachment. It does not specify that the person must be indicted for those offenses before the pardon can be issued.

Thus Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon before he had been indicted of any crime was valid. And probably prevented an impeachment.
Nixon had resigned before Ford's pardon. He therefore was not going to be impeached.
 
In order to be valid, it must cover crimes committed and not a bulwark against investigation to see if crimes occurred, so unless they admit to crimes it isn't valid
I see little stopping the Trump DoJ from engaging in an investigation. There's nothing in the constitution that says you can't use it to prevent an investigation.

The power of pardon conferred by the Constitution upon the President is unlimited except in cases of impeachment. It extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment. The power is not subject to legislative control.

EXACTLY

In the case of Fauci

1- he can be compelled to testify - he has NO FIFTH AMENDMENT PROTECTION if he lies therein , that is a CRIME no covered by Biden's pardon
2- he can be sued civilly and the Moderna's Royalties he received can be recovered
 
his order does not say that he is pardoning for all crimes committed thus it is null and void,
It appears you’re wrong. Basically. It says for all nonviolent offenses. It doesn’t say crimes, but then again neither does the constitution. Not that it matters that much.
