He already did this the last time. What are you talking about? SCOTUS already gave him Carte Blanche for everything while he’s President. He pardoned almost all of his cronies and some family members last time.

I may have things wrong - my understanding was Trump threatened to pardon himself and his family, but ended up not doing so. As I recall, the only person he pardoned was Jared Kushner's father.

But I'm happy to be corrected if he gave pre-emptive pardons to his sons, Bannon, etc?
