yes they were going to charge the presidents son its still batshit you think if they were going to charge you Biden was giving you a pardon on principle

MINORITY REPORT, maga version

I have to disagree there. That's half the point of the pardon power. And in any case, trivially short-circuited by filing a charge and then pardoning immediately.

The bullshit is in pre-emptive/promised pardons for future crimes, and any pardons of those in the executive branch.

Perhaps even frameable as a conspiracy to commit a crime!

Have to agree & Biden knew Repubs would continue to cost Hunter major legal fees to defend against bogus charges

Any other outcome is just that the President at any time can irrevocably declare The Purge forever if they want

A declaration that it's perfectly acceptable to commit any and all crimes, no matter how heinous, so long as you're on his good side.

I'm assuming he intends to time it to take effect one second before his term of office ends, so that nobody gets any funny ideas.

like I was under the impression that you had to acknowledge your guilt for whatever you were pardoned for. Some J6ers didn't accept the Trump pardon because of that!

That’s just a “get out of jail free” pass, that is NOT what pardons were intended for. Seems criminal.
