Biden White House Is Discussing Preemptive Pardons for Those in Trump’s Crosshairs

  Man, this is a really bad precedent to be setting. First pardoning family members, then handing out pardons for “future crimes” to political allies. Imagine if Trump considered doing this shit, how poorly that would be received.

  Seems like a quick way to make a farce of the pardon system.

    I feel like there’s only one way this could be pushed further to the limit: by a president (like Trump) pardoning himself.

  These guys still think that the rule of law is going to save them.

  For what crimes exactly?
  The Dems absolutely suck at this kind of messaging. They’ve committed no crimes wtf u gonna pardon???

    Eh. IDK that this criticism holds.

    1. If they’ve committed no crimes, why would they need to be pardoned?

    2. The Hunter Biden pardon covered unspecified criminal activity. It’s hard to see why Hunter’s pardon would be legitimate but this one would not be.
