So he’s at least contemplating leaving office. Baby steps.
The article lists so many obviously greed-motivated pardons, it’s disgusting.
Ooooh a pardon!! Is that like a magical seal that repels all justice? It sure would be a shame if literally no one gave a single fuck if there was a pardon or not when this government is burned to the ground.
Only Trump knows when that clot will hit
This makes a valid case for removing the president’s ability to issue pardons. Would it be such a great loss, if it means the privilege can no longer be abused like this?
I bet these top aides really badly hope he doesn’t die of a sudden heart attack or stroke before he has a chance to. If he ever even had the intention to keep his word about that to begin with, which is a stretch since there wouldn’t be anything in it for him at that point.
And we should ignore those.
Just… charge them anyway. Arrest their asses, because of the crimes they did. Reject the naked illegitimacy of criminals themselves being able to go ‘nuh uh.’
Shhh he said he’s gonna leave. Let them feel safe otherwise they will try to cling to it.
Thanks Biden for setting the precedent for preemptive pardons. Un fucking believable.
The fact that two others voted this up is pathetic.
Oh fuck off.
Didn’t Trump pardon people not yet convicted on his way out the first time?
And even then, Ford preemptively pardoned Nixon.
You’re a bad troll.

I don’t recall that happening, no. He didn’t even pardon a single J6’er until he got into office a second time. Only guy I can think of is Roger Stone, and he was already charged.
And even then, Ford preemptively pardoned Nixon.
A grand jury had already drafted up an indictment against him, so the charges were inevitable. I don’t think what Ford did was right either, but let’s not pretend that a president pardoning someone who was obviously guilty and was going to be charged and tried for a crime that everyone knew they had committed, and a president promising to pardon his entire staff for any crimes they have yet to be charged with are anywhere close to the same thing.
You’re a bad troll.
You’re entitled to think that, I guess. Biden DID pardon himself and his family members for crimes that he was never charged with or convicted of, in anticipation of retribution from Trump. Sorry that my opinion on that disagrees with you somehow.
