President Trump has already promised presidential pardons to his staff, just barely over a year into his second term. This is the same move that Trump criticized former President Biden for at the end of his four-year term.

The Wall Street Journal has reported that Trump told staff in a private meeting that he’d “pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval.” Another person told the Journal that the president said he’d pardon anyone who came within 10 feet. In fact, White House aides reported that Trump makes the claim quite often in meetings.

The White House claims that he’s obviously joking.

“The Wall Street Journal should learn to take a joke, however, the President’s pardon power is absolute,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Of course the MSM ran with it.

The dems have already said when they get back in power they are going to prosecute basically everyone near Trump.

Joking or not I'd not discount the lefts ability to get creative and charge everyone at the state level claiming trump gave a blue state the TDS.

I imagine this will become a routine practice.

Sad the DEms opened the Lawfare pandora's box

The Biden administration?

OK, fine by me.

 

[jacksonlamb]

That's nothing new.

A packed SCOTUS will undo that.

Exactly…which is why the Republicans should do it. You are correct.

Pack SCOTUS with judges who know what a woman is.

You would if you could! Too bad you can't!

You don't have the votes. Seven traditional GOP senators will give the Dems the majority.

And then after November, the Dem senate will tell Trump to suck his toes.

As American adults continue to devolve further into children in geriatric bodies, I suspect you're correct.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Trump should autopen pardon everyone in his administration. Do exactly what Joe did, but make it for EVERYONE.

Lefties cannot complain, because Joe did it and they are fine with it.

Oh, they’ll still complain….But how about Hunter eh? They say he’s already broke, and can’t pay back his sugar daddy?
