Can Bath House preemptively pardon someone who has not yet been charged with a federal crime?

I have doubts that he can.

I believe that is the kind of pardon Ford gave to Nixon.

Yes, he can. Nixon got a blanket pardon. Google it, copies of the letter are easy to find.

That would not be a pardon.

It would be Obstruction of Justice.
