Presidential pardons

Ford conceded that Nixon might be successfully prosecuted for various federal crimes. But, because that process would incite bitter discord and disturb the "tranquility" that followed Nixon's resignation, Ford thought, it was best to stop it before it started.

Milley, Fauci, and the January 6 committee members, ''the issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense." To the contrary, he said, the pardons were necessary because the recipients "have been subjected to ongoing threats and intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties." Milley, Fauci, and the committee members "have served our nation with honor and distinction," Biden declared, "and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions."

I see a difference.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

It doesn’t matter what you think, the question was “how do you pardon someone who hasn’t been convicted of a crime? Is it even legal?” And I pointed out it has been done before

Nixon was not convicted of a crime and he was pardoned

We’re not talking about if it’s right or not. But it’s been done before

I haven't heard any of these people getting pardons say they would not accept it. (Like they would if they were innocent).

That would be pretty cool if someone did turn it down out of principle for our country

In recent days, some of those covered by the pardons had said they did not want them, including former Representative Adam Kinzinger, Republican of Illinois, and Senator Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California, both of whom served on the Jan. 6 committee with Ms. Cheney.

“As soon as you take a pardon, it looks like you are guilty of something,” Mr. Kinzinger said on CNN this month. Mr. Schiff said in a separate CNN interview that it would set a bad precedent. “I don’t want to see each president hereafter on their way out the door giving a broad category of pardons to members of their administration,” he said.


Michael Fanone, one of the police officers covered by the pardon, said he did not want a pardon and never spoke with anyone from the White House about it, but expressed anger and dismay that Mr. Biden felt compelled to grant him clemency.

Mr. Fanone, who engaged in hand-to-hand combat with rioters on Jan. 6, said it was “insane that we live in a country where the president of the United States feels the need to offer a pre-emptive pardon to American citizens who testified in an investigation regarding an insurrection which was incited by the incoming president because he’s promised to enact, or exact, vengeance on those participants and the body that investigated them.”

Can you imagine being in a country where you spent 4yrs in a jail without a trial? Well that country has finally come to an end!

An excellent class action suit I hope is on the horizon.

I bet we ain’t seen nothing yet but we are hoping Trump unveils more of the corruption that was hid during the last 4 years by the Biden administration.
Trump will be corrupt on steroids the next 4 years while your groceries and gas will keep going up. 🤣
