No, because they're going to get pardoned, and Congress will not take the only remedy that prevents it from happening.

- zepto 6y agoTo be pardoned their names would all end up in public, and it wouldn’t protect them from anything they did in future.
- ChrisLomont 6y agoNot true. There are multiple previous group pardons where this did not happen, such as Lincoln blanket pardons for Civil War soldiers and Carter's pardons for Vietnam draft dodgers.
- zepto 6y agoHow would the group be defined, and what crimes would be pardoned?
- ChrisLomont 6y agoFrom looking at previous pardons, it can simply be "Anyone in DC on Weds or Thurs has any and all crimes pardonded during that time spand and location". The President actually has the power to simply write "I Pardon Every US citizen of all crime for all time," and it would work. Go read on some previous large group pardons. There is no limit on what can be done, as the Constitution gives none. There is only question about if the President can pardon himself, which may be tested soon.
