And ultimately we find out that they were accomplices to the theft of an election and trump is at the helm.
Can the pardons be undone?

(7,430 posts)the pardon will not stand. It is considered a crime, for instance, if he pardons to obstruct Justice.

(1,990 posts)The Constitution has this:
he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
Note the last 5 words. Precisely what it means seems to be somewhat unclear, but I would think that it means that a President can't pardon co-conspirators to avoid impeachment.

(2,149 posts)Some of these crimes are international in nature, say for example his merry band of henchmen defrauded German banks. How'd extradition to stand trial in a country where he can't game the system work?
And some crimes are international human rights violations, if the UN came knocking would we truss him up and send him on his way?
Flights of fancy, I know. Rambling again about things that even if he tried to pardon himself, would fall outside whatever delusional protection he thinks he has
