After Hunter was pardoned, I'm seeing more names being floated like Dr. Fauci, Comey, etc. Can they be issued pardons even before being charged with a crime? Seems to me if a pardon is being considered, they're thought to potentially have committed crimes. Isn't it a crime to not make law enforcement aware? What the hell is going on?

Treason not mentioned. Impeachment yes.
