Should Presidents Be Allowed to Pardon Family Members?

[Road Runner]

Would Trump have? I must admit that I think that Trump probably would have, but I'm pretty sure that that's an unfair advantage?

You should of had another option that says it depends. If they suffered false charges, yes. But also no on the ground of conflict of interest.

Okay I'll add that option then.

 

[Road Runner]

I changed my vote too now.

Trump pardoned Charles Kushner

Who had already served his sentence and paid his fines.

You forgot that part.

 

[martybegan]

The Constitution doesn't put limits on the President's ability to give pardons, so they can pardon whoever they want.

What about nobody being above the law though?

What about nobody being above the law though?

That's what Biden said.

 

[Road Runner]

That's what Biden said.

Yeah but I honestly don't think that he even remembers saying that.

 

[DakotaKai_fan20]

Trump should pardon himself due to the false politically motivated charges.

 

[DakotaKai_fan20]

Yeah but I honestly don't think that he even remembers saying that.

Due to his dementia.

 

[rightwinger]

Who had already served his sentence and paid his fines.

You forgot that part.

He now has a clean record and can serve as ambassador

It's a ridiculous system. Why should the president be able to pardon people for no reason at all? There's just no oversight of the system at all, it's so open to abuse it's incredible.

Would Trump have? I must admit that I think that Trump probably would have, but I'm pretty sure that that's an unfair advantage?

Sure. He pardoned his son in law's father, which I am sure made his daughter and son in law very happy to have the sitting President in the family.

Trump would not have pardoned his son like corrupt Joe Biden did. Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark.

 

[Thunk]

Yes.

The power of the pardon is absolute. And it needs to be.

The democrat filth went after all of Trumps friends and many of his supporters. What if they had convicted barron or tiffany for some garbage they made up?

Every president on both sides would be instantly compromised. The power of the pardon MUST remain absolute!

A pardon means you did the wrongdoing but don’t have to pay for it
Thinkers said Hunter was an addict criminal
Lib loons wailed No and Russian disinformation
His daddy big guy Joe Just Confirmed what thinkers said all along
Any of the witch hunters he pardons CONFIRMS it was a witch hunt

 

[g5000]

Would Trump have?

Trump pardoned his son-in-law's father.

So, yes.

And now he's making Charles Kushner the next US ambassador to France.

Bill Clinton pardoned his brother.
