Speculation that President Donald Trump will issue pardons before he leaves office for members of his family or other supporters raises a question about whether pardons can be issued pre-emptively — that is, before someone is charged with a crime.
Ford did it for Nixon, so it probably wouldn’t be an issue.

That was one president doing for a former president. And a president that stepped away from the office instead of hanging around inciting more crap. It's a bit different that Trump wants this all in place to protect his kids who are in honorary positions. There must be something they need pardoning from.
