I was just trying to understand how it works, because the way presidential pardons work is bizarre to me. The pre-emptive pardons seem even more bizarre if what you say is correct. I wasn't trying to engage in an argument. I do feel sceptical about whether you are correct, but i wouldnt know since i barely know anything about it at all.

tl;dr? Cratermoon cannot in fact cite a source for their claims.

This sort of shit is why people can't reasonably trust accusations of logical fallacy on the internet. You can't just yell whataboutism whenever you don't want to answer challenging questions.
