Trump wont concede and I doubt he will resign so Pence can pardon him. And if Pence wants to run in 2024, he probably wouldnt in any case. So we know its coming. When does he try it?

45 would need to acknowledge guilt and wrongdoing for a pardon. Oh the paradox!

A pardon can be for any past crimes. It doesnt bar state prosecutions though.
