Original Note:
Loomer’s claims that President Trump could not pardon anyone after Trump was impeached is false. Trump issued 74 pardons and commuted 70 sentences on his last day in office. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1254806 The article states Trump would be unable to pardon anyone that is being impeached themselves. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S2-C1-3-1/ALDE_00013316/ https://www.brookings.edu/articles/presidential-pardons-settled-law-unsettled-issues-and-a-downside-for-trump/
