Biden just gave Trump a new pardon playbook​


Joe Biden’s broad reprieve for his son gives the president-elect new rationale for even more expansive pardons than those he issued in his first term.

In his sweeping pardon of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden did not just protect his son. He also handed President-elect Donald Trump a template to shield his own allies and stretch the pardon power even further.


Legal experts say Trump now has fresh precedent — and political cover — to issue expansive pardons absolving his allies not only of specific offenses, but even any undetermined crimes they may have committed.

With the singular exception of Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon, no modern American president had ever issued such a broad grant of clemency until Joe Biden’s “full and unconditional” pardon of his son on Sunday night. The younger Biden is now effectively cleared of legal consequences for any federal law he might have broken over a nearly 11-year period.







Those terms are so unusual — and the process leading to it was so secretive — that the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney, which typically advises the president on clemency issues, was taken by surprise, according to a person who was granted anonymity to disclose the details.

In the final days of Trump’s first term, at least one close ally — former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) — requested a similarly sweeping pardon, according to congressional testimony. But top White House aides made clear it was a nonstarter.

Now that Joe Biden has crossed the Rubicon, legal experts and former Trump associates say it will be harder to restrain Trump next time. He now has a readymade rationale to follow suit when he returns to office.

We already know Trump is going to be going after left leaning AMERICANS , He already said that.
Again after Trump gets in and declares his national emergency and suspends the Constitution he will be acting like the dictator he wants to be.
And after he is done with Taking left leaning Americans Constitutional rights away he just might like all that power and start going after his MAGA followers Constitutional rights and if that happens it will be too late to go back.
Be careful what you wish for once you get it and it comes back and bites you in the ass it will be to late to go back, then what are the MAGA going to do? CRY?

The terms Left and Right are archaic.

As you should know.

Anyone who eats Trump's ass on camera in primetime will be spared the gas chamber. For now.

Anyone who assaulted anyone, looted anyone or murdered anyone should be prosecuted.

Those who beat police, crushed police in doorways, obstructed police trying to clear out the Capitol and those who shit on the halls of the Capital should not be pardoned.

I don't disagree with the bold. Would you agree that officer Byrd who murdered an unarmed 5'2" female instead of arresting her should be prosecuted and jailed?
