I read on here some time ago that Bammie pardoned Cabbage Fart...

The pardon would only apply up to the point it was issued. I'm sure she has committed numerous crimes since then.

That said, I thought pardons were only for people convicted of a crime. Someone here will know.

There has never been any evidence of pardons. Just thoughts wondering about it.

Nixon wasn’t convicted.

Interesting here(from wiki)...Maybe it’s the same reason Sydney begged Pres. Trump not to pardon Gen Flynn...

“After Ford left the White House in 1977, he privately justified his pardon of Nixon by carrying in his wallet a portion of the text of Burdick v. United States, a 1915 U.S. Supreme Court decision that suggested that a pardon carries an imputation of guilt and that its acceptance carries a confession of guilt.”
