Trump promised mass pardons for his top aides before he leaves office: report

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.

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.

I wonder what the next US government will do with these useless pardon papers.

They could simply wipe their asses with it, but I guess they'll just go "oh well, it's official!" because they might need them themselves later or something

Anyone dreaming about seeing those pardoned assholes back in prison, seeing anyone from the current trump administration in jail, is indeed only dreaming

Only Trump knows when that clot will hit

He is going to fuck half of them over.

Pardons dont apply to the hague

If there is another president, just say Trump had dementia and wasn't of sound mind, so they don't count.

Another way to say "don't leak any of the unleaked stuff I have said/done and in return I shall protect you"

Thanks Biden for setting the precedent for preemptive pardons. Un fucking believable.
