Jan 2021

in his last days in office before a) being replaced by Biden and b) before he goes to federal prison for his own crimes against the nation, can those pardons be reversed? Including if he pardons himself? IOW, can obviously criminal traitors be held responsible or is a pardon a get out of jail free card with no repercussions forever and ever?
