âRudolph W. Giuliani, President Trumpâs lawyer who has led the most extensive efforts to damage his clientâs political rivals and undermine the election results, discussed with the president as recently as last week the possibility of receiving a pre-emptive pardon before Mr. Trump leaves office, according to two people told of the discussion.â
âSuch a broad pardon pre-empting any charge or conviction is highly unusual but does have precedent. George Washington pardoned plotters of the Whiskey Rebellion, shielding them from treason prosecutions. In the most famous example, Gerald R. Ford pardoned Richard M. Nixon for all of his actions as president. Jimmy Carter pardoned thousands of American men who illegally avoided the draft for the Vietnam War.â -NYT
So, wait, was Trump already pardoned or not? /s
Fuck you, Mitch.
Not the workers, of course! He desperately wants that corporate impunity from any COVID claims (and other stuff), and to dump the liability on the public.
Well he better win some of his lawsuits then. Trumpâs transactional mind doesnât give something for nothing. Mere attempts or such weakling concepts as âloyaltyâ donât count.
Indeed. See Xeniâs post on pardons for cash.
Another grift in action from the Oval Office.
25 dudes? thatâs a party!

And the translator signing is perfect.
âYouâre hurting the wrong peopleâŚâ
Itâs a start on the road to âHey, maybe threatening anyone is wrong?â
Rolling coal over-contributing to global warming to own the libs.
Thatâs a debarment
Wow, that has to be a quick turnoff to the disbarment exit.
Sidney Powell is kraken.
49 pardon days remaining in the current administration.
I will never not be mad that these trundling bumblefucks have managed to capture so much political attention and influence. How are none of these dimwit shitlords in jail for, like, wiretap fraud or some equally stupid trivial-to-ram-through-a-prosecutorâs-office federal offense? We had a whole 8 years of a competently-run justice department under Obama, how did these dime store doofuses who make the burglars in Home Alone look like criminal masterminds manage to skate?
