There was an even more interesting question raised on r/NeutralPolitics about whether the pardon has to even be made public. It seems there's an interpretation of the law where the pardon only becomes public when the recipient makes use of it in a public court.

- craftinator 6y agoIs that before or after the coifing of the sacrificial goat?
- koheripbal 6y agoWhy would it need to be public? The Constitution does not stipulate that limitation. This is literally all it says... > he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
- gowld 6y agoBecause "pardon" is not defined anywhere so the nation has to decide what it means.
