I view the upcoming Trump pardons in the following way: He has the absolute authority to pardon previously-charged behavior but pardoning himself and/or associates for potential future charges should be investigated as potential obstructive acts.
Pardoning Flynn for lying to the FBI is one thing, but issuing a blanket pardon for the mountain of potential upcoming issues for Giuliani, for example, is a line too far.
If this happens and Biden pushes the "unity" line/picks an AG who is receptive to that line of thinking, it'll be a grave mistake for the future.
Here's part of the Ford pardon for Nixon. It is a complete blanket for any crimes committed.

Just because they lost doesn’t mean that the massive Russian human intelligence operation to damage the Biden campaign should go unpunished. For them and for the Americans that worked with them.
Russia deployed a 10+ year active intelligence agent to meet with the President’s personal lawyer and others in an effort to re-elect Trump. For some reason no one wants to discuss it.
They also used proxies to feed bogus information to jumpstart Senate investigations and found willing partners! And I guarantee you that what the public knows of the 2019-2020 Russian operation is just a fraction of what actually happened.

One more time, so more people begin to internalize this fact:

The President's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who is leading the charge to overthrow the will of the people in this election, is under active FBI investigation for working with Russian intelligence.
In ANY other time period in US history, this fact would be absolutely unheard of. Somehow, it doesn't even get mentioned in the corporate news.
In his desperate, brazen attempts to damage Joe Biden's campaign, Giuliani met multiple times with a man that TRUMP'S OWN ADMINISTRATION later deemed "an active Russian agent for over a decade" home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…

Arizona is not over.
Trump netted 13,644 votes in a release of 75k votes. There are 420k votes left in Maricopa. Trump could gain approx 75k. He's currently down 79k.
With Pima going harder for Biden, that outstanding vote might save him.
