As I recall Bush actually pardoned himself from Iran contra, his pardon for ALL those involved was so broad.
the Bush pardon also brings into question how do you pardon someone not yet convicted? does a pardon mean they are guilty of what they are being pardoned for?
The retroactive pardon. I think only if they can later be found guilty. But the elite live the "Other World," and all have the get out of jail card FREE.
So Pappy bush had preemptive pardons and Bush II had a preemptive war.
Bush, the preemptive dynasty.
