    Yes. Steve Bannon.

    Didn’t try. Did.

    Mangione (similar to Bannon) has a mixture of state and federal charges levied against him, and Presidents cannot pardon state charges.

      Sure. I also don’t imagine for a second that Biden would do it. I was just trying to recall if it was actually accurate that you can’t pre-emptively pardon (or, at least, that there’s no precedent for it; what Trump has done hardly seems to be a guideline for what presidents should be able to do).
