Right. Ahead of time equals immunity and a license to murder.

How many crimes are these people pardoned for? Future crimes? Past crimes? Any crimes they may commit for the rest of their lives? This is insane.

We must be careful not to over-react. Remember that Robert Hur determined that the Big Guy did break the law by taking classified documents when he stopped being VP..... but he could not be tried because he is not mentally competent. It is my experience that people who are not oriented, people who do not know what they are doing or where they are, typically cannot sign documents or enter into contracts. I'd say that a "pardon" issued by a lunatic is worth less than used toilet paper.
