Yep the way it's written the pardons are supposed to be ironclad. You can't pardon future crimes. You can't pardon state crimes.
Where he was saying there's wiggle room is the idea that if a pardon was procured through provable fraud, then the SCOTUS could in theory rule the pardon was never legally formed so the pardon is void. His argument, this that Luttig guy, is that a system set up to you do whatever I ask no matter how illegal it is and I will pardon you later, can be arguably determined to be fraud since both parties are acknowledging in advance it's illegal.
FWIW the discussion on Guilfoyle now is about her alleged BURN BOOK. She apparently has a little black book of all the me she hooked up with, and she's known to brag about it, and the GOP is now afraid she might be so mad she goes publick with it and exposes a bunch of married GOP men.
