Maybe Pres. Trump already pardoned himself, before he left office?

maybe so, but he'd need multiple pardons (I think) if they intend to continue coming at him with multiple charges and get multiple convictions.

however I do feel that the Q team was in place before the 2016 election.

Certainly possible, I'm not going to dump on anyone's ideas, and like I say, I've seen the 'proofs' and coincidence that don't make a lot of rational sense. What I will say with certainty though, people like Steve Bannon for example, have been part of the Trump strategy team since before 2016, and he is very well connected. I always felt that he was involved with Q at some level, the connections make sense. He also called for the Trump/RFK jr ticket not long ago. I personally thought it was a silly idea but the more you think about it, the more it makes sense in terms of strategy.
