Can you pardon an undisclosed number of people that you don’t have names for?
There isn't any requirement that any clemency list the persons by name. Johnson granted amnesty to Confederate soldiers, Carter to draft dodgers, and most recently Biden for the offenses of simple marijuana possession.
Biden
Carter
Johnson
As already discussed with Ford, the pardon also doesn't have to specifically list the crime (although in this case it should).
You just can't pardon for impeachment, state claims, or any civil claims

Ok thanks for providing that info and examples. Seems pretty broad but it’s useful insight.

I don’t feel that the Ford pardon is at all equivalent to what is being suggested Trump should have done.
