Original Note:
Another note claimed there was "no time to pardon" those charged with crimes for 1/6. A sitting president can pardon someone at any time after the commission of a crime, even if no charges have been filed yet. Trump had nearly 2 weeks to pardon them before leaving office. https://www.scotusblog.com/2021/01/the-supreme-court-and-the-presidents-pardon-power/
