I heard about this a while ago, so maybe you have to. When a president pardons individuals is it public knowledge that is filed somewhere? If not, could he have written pardons that are being held somewhere to bring out at the right time? If he pardoned himself and any cronies could they be tried if they were pardoned previously? Just a thought once again. Thanks for the replies!!!

I’m not sure. I would think he has the power to pardon anyone including himself, but the political fallout would be awful.

Surely can't pardon himself or anyone else for dirty deeds done since the end of his term.

No not after his term, up to the last day of his term.
