Confusing questions here. Hope i can explain it right [View all]

Ok This concerns the power of pardons. Let say tRUMP is impeached and Pence is president. Now if they planned this so pence will pardon everybody while he is president. Now my question. Can pence pardon tRUMP for breaking the law BEFORE he was elected? (by asking Russia for shit on Hillary before the election) If not who will file the charges on tRUMP? (Barr i suppose) TY in advance
