I think it’s likely Biden will grant more pardons, including the J6 committee clowns. The only hope then is Biden’s “presidency “ is declared illegitimate and all the pardons melt away.
Under the Constitution, the president's clemency power extends to all federal criminal offenses, except in cases of impeachment. President George Washington pardoned, commuted, or rescinded the convictions of 16 people. Among them are: Philip Vigol (or Wigle) and John Mitchel, convicted of treason for their roles in the Whiskey Rebellion.
At the Federal level. If they “have it all”, they hopefully already have the intel, warrants prepared and show 2020 election fraud to SCOTUS to reverse results and invalidate the current administration.
I do not see why that would matter at all. The US Constitution is very clear on the ability of the President to pardon:
"Section. 2.
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."
If the power had any other limit, it would have been out into the language. Even a "wise Latina" and a black who can't define the word "woman" justice would have trouble convoluting this crystal clear language.
It's enough to spike my blood pressure. We are supposed to be the country of law and order and "justice is blind" except it isn't and these traitorous scumbags are gonna walk - they damn sure DO NOT deserve to walk away scot free.

Otherwise, they will skate.
Can Biden pardon for treason?
In my mind, to pardon for treason is in itself treasonous.
Under the Constitution, the president's clemency power extends to all federal criminal offenses, except in cases of impeachment. President George Washington pardoned, commuted, or rescinded the convictions of 16 people. Among them are: Philip Vigol (or Wigle) and John Mitchel, convicted of treason for their roles in the Whiskey Rebellion.
Yes he can. They will not get away with it tho.
It’s my understanding that except for a pardon of impeachment, the power is unlimited.
At the Federal level. If they “have it all”, they hopefully already have the intel, warrants prepared and show 2020 election fraud to SCOTUS to reverse results and invalidate the current administration.
I would celebrate that event.
This! ⬆️⬆️
The power of the presidential pardon has never been challenged in the Supreme Court, so it appears unlimited. But that doesn't mean it's unlimited.

The United Healthcare CEO had been skating too. Just sayin
