Preemptive Pardons

If Biden announces to Democrat politicians and staff that he'll give out preemptive pardons if any of those feel they have committed a crime, will he get through the list before Trumps inauguration 🤔

I very much doubt it.
 
The pardons will happen.

You are right. Trump is not above the law.

Pardons are part of the law. Suck on it.
 
So it has been admitted that Biden is discussing preemptive pardons. The only such pardon I know of in American history was for former President Nixon, and that was a unique reason for doing so.

Any such pardons are an admission that these people were involved in lawfare, such as Jack Smith, and lies, such as Liz Cheney.

More disdain for America should Biden act on such preemptive pardons, and such pardons would e of questionable impact and would end up in the Supreme Court.

Actually, pre-emptively pardoning Biden admin officials makes more sense than pardoning Tricky Dick did.

We KNOW Tricky Dick committed crimes, because he recorded himself doing so.

Pardons are necessary in this case because of Trump's long history of being a lawbreaking individual, who has sworn to get back at people.

It sounds like sound policy to me.

Exactly. It makes zero sense, and it's highly unlikely it's legal. No precedent I can find.In fact it appears that accepting one is an admission of guilt.

Actually, the precedent is already there, of Ford pardoning Nixon.

You could also add the precedent of Bush Sr. Pardoning Cap Weinberger, which is more on point, as Cap didn't commit any crimes related to Iran-Contra. In fact, he was the one guy in the room saying it was a terrible idea.

I've read them.

Um. So what?

We shouldn't be executing anyone in this country. Most of the world has abolished the Death Penalty for a good reason. We are in a club that includes Red China, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

Not sure that's a club I want to join.
Joe Bribem freed all the pedo murderers who were convicted by juries and judges and sentenced to death FROM death Row. That's all, just that. no biggie heh? got kids? thought not.
