You still have to name the crime, a pardon could apply only to actions surrounding a single policy or place... and with that loose nut case, she'll do something not included in that pre-emptive pardon... one way or the other, she's going to see justice...

From your posted article:

If someone hasn't yet been charged with a crime, how does the president know what to pardon them for? As in Nixon's case, President Bush could issue a pardon that applies generally to any crimes that may have been committed within a certain range of dates. More likely, a pardon could apply only to actions surrounding a single policy or place—say, the detention or interrogation of suspected al-Qaida members.
