How can he be pardoned? Has he been found guilty in a court of some crime?

I don't think that's how pardons work.

He ought to be found guilty in a court for all the crimes he commited, and "I was just following orders" is not gonna cut it, but he hasn't, so.. how can he be pardoned for a crime he's not been found guilty of?

He can be indemnified for a given set of dates via the pardon precedent.

That sounded pretty fishy too, yeah.

Seems pretty obvious too that if this new style of doing things stands, every time a new prez gets in there this power will be used to protect his cronies.

Are we even sure Hunter's pardon will stand? Is it being challenged? I have not been following the drama.
