Reply #8: As A Matter of Fact, You Don't Even Have to be Charged to be Pardoned [View All]

[rrrevolution]

You can be pardoned for acts and circumstances which are not even being investigated by any law enforcement official at the time the pardon is issued.

This works really well for those who like to have a "get out of jail free card" in their pocket as they go about their business.

However, most pardons cannot be granted secretly, and there is the rub. Remember the Marc Rich pardon Clinton granted at the eleventh hour before leaving office? Had to be done publicly.
