Original Note:
Factually incorrect. Trump DID have the power and opportunity to preemptively pardon those involved January 6. https://www.nytimes.com/article/trump-pardons.html Pres. Ford's pardon of Nixon occurred before he was formally charged for Watergate https://www.npr.org/2020/12/02/941290291/talk-of-preemptive-pardons-by-trump-raises-questions-what-can-he-do The fact that they were only CHARGED after he left office is irrelevant.
