Everyone who stormed the Capitol? just curios if such blanket order pardon is possible. And can pardon be appealed, reversed, annulled, etc?

Allegedly, he's so pissed off that he can't pardon himself for inciting the insurrection without opening himself up to lawsuits that he refuses to pardon any of the participants. If he can't get off then nobody can.

For the federal offenses ? Yeah. For the state offenses to come from their home states ? Nah.

Will he ?

No. They don't have any money that can end up in his pockets. And his access to fundraising and banks has just died. Honestly I expect his family to start stripping the White House of stuff they can sell.

He can pardon everyone everywhere for federal offenses. The pardon power is absolute.

He doesn't care about those who adore him, why should he pardon them?

I doubt he could get away with pardoning people for sedition he initiated. If he tried, he’d probably get impeached. Oh...never mind..

.....he has been looking into whether he can pardon himself.......it probably doesn't say specifically that one can't pardon oneself......

Let him try. He certainly can't (according to the Constitution) pardon himself for any offense for which he has been impeached.

Nixon DOJ memo says he can't. Not that he won't try. I'm sure he'll just issue an 'exemption' or something.

Another reason to go ahead with the impeachment.
At least hold that a bargaining chip, for maybe later.

They failed and some have been captured. he is already on the record that he doesn't like losers or those who are captured.

So no pardon for them.
