You can only pardon people by name. There will be many more arrests to come after Trump leaves office when the FBI have gone through all the social media posts.

That is 100% not true. In 1868 President Andrew Johnson pardoned all Confederate soldiers. He definitely didn't do it by name.

Didn't Carter blanket-pardon Vietnam deserters without naming them?
