"Can a president issue a preemptive pardon? Can the US President pardon a person for a crime for which they have not yet been indicted or convicted?"
"Yes they can.
The most famous example was the pardon of Richard Nixon in 1974 by President Ford.
Ford granted an unconditional pardon concerning all Federal crimes that Nixon "committed or may have committed or taken part in" while in office. This was done before indictment or trial. [1]
This very question was asked when the pardon was challenged in a Michigan Federal Court in 1975 in the case Murphy v. Ford. The court rejected the suit which was seeking to have a special prosecutor attached, finding that “the President had the constitutional power to grant a pre-indictment pardon, citing Ex parte Garland in its support”.[2]
The court’s opinion drew on a Supreme Court ruling from 1867: “The fact that Mr. Nixon had been neither indicted nor convicted of an offense against the United States does not affect the validity of the pardon. Ex parte Garland, 4 Wall. (71 U.S.) 333, 18 L.Ed. 366 (1867). In that case the Supreme Court considered the nature of the President's Pardoning Power, and the effect of a Presidential pardon. Mr. Justice Field, speaking for the court, said that the Pardoning Power is "unlimited," except in cases of impeachment. "[The Power] extends to every offense 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 benign prerogative of mercy reposed in [the President] cannot be fettered by any legislative restrictions.”[3]"
Wouldn't be surprised if he's been in the US for a hot minute.
is that's New Zealand?
Would be nice, but would England suddenly release him?
They held on even after the Swedes gave up. Or it was the Swiss… either way.
Right now they claim to be holding him waiting on us… which makes little sense.
Why haven't they extradited him yet?
Until the Congress, Senate, and entirety of the Judiciary are under white hat control…
Is it better to keep him guarded in Belmarsh?
Why would he pardon Assange right now?
To give the DNC an election talking point?
Sure, it would get more normie eyes on the situation, but to what immediate benefit?
>Assange is the source that can provide information that will expose Crowdstrike and the entire DNC.
Sounds like ELECTION INTERFEREEEEENCE!!!
>It would give Patriots far bigger 'talking points'
You'd be surprised (or not) as to how many conservatives aren't a fan of Assange.
>Truth coming out is the benefit.
How would simply pardoning him do that?
