this is an admission of all of them being criminals

Translation: Do whatever I tell you, even if it sounds super illegal because I’ve “Got your back”. 😉 – from the man notorious for not holding up his end of the deal if it doesn’t personally benefit him, and that benefit must outweigh greatly whatever benefits you would be getting.

Oh boy a Trump promise.
If I were them I would be sweating and heading for the door, but they follow in lockstep regardless, so it will be a leopards feast in a few years.

If you are giving a mass pardon to your entire staff, that just means the entire administration is acknowledging they are doing illegal shit

Plot twist: Trump dies suddenly, they’re all fucked.

These pardons need to be challenged and overturned. The U.S. needs a democratic Congress and Senate. This administration is a criminal organization. You can’t let them get away with this. America needs a good cleanup, and the good news is we know where to find all the worst crass in America; they’re all in Trump’s cabinet.
“Stack” the Supreme Court. Do what they did; refuse any judge’s answer that does not result in overturning the pardons and appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal.

this is so that when Dems turn Republican assholes inside out after November, nobody that has witnessed any of his crimes can actually be held accountable. these pardons are to protect him, not to protect everybody else.

I mean. He literally pardoned insurrectionists. Many of whom were released from jail and went on to commit further crimes. He pardoned white collar criminals for bribes. It’s textbook corruption.

This is how he gets out of being 25th’d. He’s surrounded himself with a criminals who will all need pardons just for serving in his administration. It’s damning. The entire executive branch is corrupt and compromised.

You want vigilante justice? Cuz this is how you end up getting vigilante justice

Sounds like in order to do anything I want I should be a Trump Aide.
On a serious note, You dont start promising security unless you get scared.
Between this and the out of the blue Melania statement, I think Trump is preparing sandbags.
Knowing him, That means we’re a couple months away from him literally barricading the Whitehoue and refusing to come out.
The worst part is whoever replaces and takes him out is likely to be even more insane and a bigger shitbag then he is, or whatever group.

Because that’s what innocent people do….

I think that some reform, like barring them from pardoning themselves or members of their administration could be a good idea.

Grant immunity to a person who can then make people immune?
It incentivizes Trumps staff to keep doing bad things and be loyal if in the same scam.
It seems beyond belief that the Supreme Court did foresee this?
