Both Gaetz and Greene are behaving as if they have a pardon in their pockets IMO. Secret or otherwise.
Via WaPo (Jan 20, 2021)
If a secret pardon were allowed, it could cause chaos in the courts. There would be no way to know when or if a secret pardon might emerge and wreak havoc with a long-running investigation. The result would be to undermine the predictability of the judicial process. No one would know how many there are, or who received them, or why, until they surfaced. A president could be out of office for weeks, months or years and still influence court proceedings.
Sounds exactly like trump’s MO. Maybe that’s why pedo Florida guy is still walking free after all this time.
