Yeah---release the criminals! We need them on our side!👹

Actions taken in DC by federal officials such as Miller’s request to ICE to execute protesting American citizens can and should be prosecuted by the states. Though they may need to collaborate to pool resources and their national guards as they do for disaster support. @dems.ag @raskin.house.gov

Trump and SCOTUS justices can ask anyone to murder anyone as an official act including those who threaten them with impeachment, and then pardon the thugs they enable. The constitution allows this. So clearly that’s a problem that invalidates the constitution. lol @dems.ag @raskin.house.gov

Go ahead. They can't plead the fifth then...

I know this is groundbreaking thought here and not applicable to these assholes, but maybe just be a decent human and don’t do the pardon-requiring bad shit in the first place. Good god.

I've still got $20 that Trump will pardon himself. He's broken every political norm and a lot of laws and has shown he'll say and do anything to protect his own corrupt criminal ass, so why not?

We haven’t even hit the two year mark

They should have to specify what specifically the pardon is for... treason? lying under oath? fraud?

Only complete criminals need pardons

Brilliant move. I'm sure when they can't be prosecuted for it they'll keep their mouths shut and won't go selling the information to the highest bidder.

They know their corrupt!

I thought accepting a pardon constituted admission of a crime.

Nothing says guilty quite like unscreened blanket pardons waaay in advance of the end of a term.

The executive pardon was not intended to be used this way.

Is he dying faster then we know it? Is Vance if he does die not going to pardon these people. Cause Vance is going to need one himself and cannot pardon himself.

Adding to the avalanche of reasons we should sign onto Hague jurisdiction with the rest of the civilized world.

So in other words those jr staffers are currently committing crimes?

These presidential pardons are a scam & should just be abolished since there are no safeguards against rogue presidents.

The next democratic administration should ignore them.

Why do they need pardons?

LOL. Perhaps you should google “how to amend the constitution”

WH Attorneys know they are criminals, all of them, top to bottom 🔥🤬

Love how this aged.

Why do they need protections? Did you have them do illegal things?

It says a lot 😡

How do we prosecute the overt crimes of corruption and civil and human rights violations of this administration while revitalizing the economy, education, science, healthcare, energy policy and global alliances, and avoiding a political DoJ.

This is what happens when you disregard common sense and vote to put an insurrectionist criminal back into the presidency.

Curtailing pardon power is the one thing that would make all of Trump's minions behave. They've been willing to do just about anything, because they'll get a free pass. I'm sure this isn't what the founders had in mind.

Part of me thinks that Trump will leave a lot of people hanging out to dry when he leaves. It’s what he did at the end of his first term. He may decide that pardoning all his co-conspirators will free the next DoJ to focus on him.

According to Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman every single person who works in the administration is getting a pardon Everyone.

He can and he will. This is the guy who pardoned the J6 rioters.

Autopen clause to be enforced

Congress must enact a law that presidential pardons, made as part of a criminal activity, are null and void unless approved by two-thirds majority in Congress.

so they all did some illegal stuff ?

Pathetic. MAGA elects a shitload of crooks who do nothing for anyone except wealthy people, rake in a shitload of money for themselves & then cover their asses with pardons for all the crimes they have committed. We need a whole new type of criminal law created to get this fixed.

Should be weighing what facility to put trump in.

Go ahead, that means they loose their 5th amendment rights on any matter covered by the pardon and are compelled to testify against their co-conspirators

When you start to think it can’t get any worse, it does.

It is pure Machiavellian behaviour America needs to hang its head in shame for allowing this dictatorial, undemocratic behaviour to go unchecked for so long.

This is the most disgusting abuse of political authority … it is effectively giving staff - at all levels - permission to commit illegal activity knowing they will be pathetically pardoned when … not if, but when … they are charged and found guilty of crimes.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America... JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Wow inflation is hitting everywhere. Used to be just a million

Massive pardons means there are lots they are guilty of

The pardon powers is out of control. Do the crime and do no time. Never should be allowed. Congress has many new laws to adopt after this crime spree. If they don’t we are doomed to fail.

Pardons that are themselves proof of consciousness of guilt and abet ongoing crimes disqualify themselves as pardons. Rescind the pardons, prosecute and imprison as appropriate.

Do they realize how this exposes their donor class? The people outside the WH, who are getting kickbacks and pardons, and paying bribes, can and will be prosecuted. The WH staff can be forced to testify against them, and can’t claim 5th amendment rights if they’ve received a pardon.

The shitshow this pardon power has turned into in such a few short years is insane fuckery. I remember when governors and presidents would be embarrassed if they pardoned someone in their inner-circle or someone who never repented. Today? A mere $5M will get your lawyers an audition.

Y now? Oh I get it. They must be getting pushback on criming. Otherwise you'd wait until leaving office

Their argument is obviously going to be, "Biden did the exact same thing." Guarantee it!

They will waive their 5th amendment right to not incriminate oneself

You know you are violating the laws of the land and abusing the People when you are already at the pardoning negotiations phase.

They are, but they're also final as a matter of law. And the recipient gets away scot free.

Yes. The idea of pardoning innocent people is just stupid and un-necessary. However the pardons before the fact are being used in this case to encourage persons working for this president to commit crimes on his behalf. He used pardons for the insurrectionists in prison as a reward.

This pre pardon stuff is bullshit.

There really isn’t a good reason to honor those pardons, though. The pardon power has been corrupted and a country that only exists because it stole itself from its owners should probably pull its head out of its ass regarding slavish adherence to process.

No throw them all in jail

Do they mean like, Karoline & Natalie? Cause, each of them is a gold-mine of insider info!

Sounds like furtherance of an ongoing crime from here

No one used the word “sell” until you. He pardoned lots of ppl before leaving office, including his son. Go google it, if you didn’t know this. I thought it was pretty common knowledge. By your own logic, then, Hunter and many others are guilty of crimes. Correct? Or did you misspeak?

Witness tampering

Impeachment cannot be pardoned. Ongoing and future crimes cannot be pardoned. Refusal to testify and contempt cannot be pardoned.

Why? Because they know they’re fucked.

What does Suzy Wiles know🤔

But why would they need pardons? We're laws broken🤔🙄 😉

Limit pardon powers now! Only crooks need pardons. Government employees should not be eligible for pardons.

cue the permanently deputized, de-facto pre-pardoned goon squad that can go around violating federal law and rights with literal declared impunity.

But first you have to find a specific crime they committed in a specific state. Not as easy as you think.

Highest treason eva'. You neva' seen such yuge treason in ya life. May not be the first to treason in US history, but he treasons every single day like Arnold couldn't even imagine treasoning. Giving power to old soviet bosses and the butt hurt about losing the civil war over the USA.

This has to be illegal. If you can just pardon anyone then whats going to stop them from committing crimes? My word he has pardoned thousands of criminals already.

Questions for real attorneys out there: If they have pardons doesn't that mean they have given up some protections for their testimony in matters, say before Congress, other grand juries, etc.?

Even if tbey get pardons they will continue to commit crimes, and pardons don't excuse future crimes.

A country of laws.

Awww that's cute. You think trump cares about the peons and no name coffee boys doing illegal shit for him.

If they have done nothing wrong why the pardons?

Mass preemptive pardons to the Rump Regime's junior staffers, eh???? Only just a teensy bit unusual. 🙄🙄🙄

In case Hegseth and Steven Miller think they are safe, a U.S. president cannot pardon someone convicted by international courts or tribunals (such as the International Criminal Court), because those jurisdictions operate outside the U.S. federal legal system. Their crimes against humanity will stand

Will the auto-pen be utilized?

Pardons… how what exactly?

The overall winners in the USA turn out to be the lawyers.

Nothing says law and order like blanket pardons.

So they know that they are wrong.

Been saying this for awhile!

360,000,000lbs and counting

Corruption pandemic.

Job applications will soon include the question; “Have you ever received a pardon from a felon?”

Essentially granting them immunity now isn’t it? How is that American?

What happened to pardons only being for guilty people? That’s what they said right?

As one does when they know they are breaking the law.

Afraid future leaders will do to them what they are doing. Hypocrisy.

Step 1: subpoena them when investigating crimes Step 2: compel testimony as they have already been pardoned and cannot be prosecuted Step 3: prosecute any who refuse or lie for obstruction of justice, perjury, etc

Tldr: they will issues mass pardons

Horrific journalists are already stretching and warming up their, ”But of course Joe mass pardoned his allies, including his own shifty son, so who can say which pardon suite is worse, or if this is even worth being concerned about in the first place?” article-writing fingers.
