Can The President Grant Preemptive Pardons To His Children? | NBC News NOW

[MusicGamesEverything]

Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. He also can't pardon state crimes

[lovepeacealways]

Can the president explain why he feels the need to think about doing so?! 😕

[jaaksavat]

To pardon oneself is an absurdity and shouldn't even be considered

[JorgeRamos-xwdy]

Pre-emptive pardons? ha ha ha ha. That law needs to be revised urgently.

[G-childInc]

I thought he’s been claiming no crimes ? Shameless people

[dustinhaus]

Wouldn't this be shameless and blatantly criminal. Even if the wording is vague

[AndyM_YYY]

This is not a reprieve or a pardon, it's immunity from prosecution.

[myazpiration]

Lol, 100% Trump will pardon his family and himself. ..mark my words 😂

[kishok]

Well there's never been a president like him before

[MsSherrydarling]

For someone who claims to have done nothing wrong, he's certainly on the ball about making sure he and his cohorts don't face any criminal charges. If you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about.

[MyName-plzn]

Why would Trump's kids need a pardon for offences against the United States before any charges🤔🤔🙄

[jli]

self-pardon does not work in S. Korea. If a president has committed a crime, you go to jail after leaving the office in S. Korea.

[wiley]

He will try but we the People must stand up and say no! to a criminal act in the making.

[thubay]

family corrupt together, family go to jail together

[kjamison]

The ONLY time a person may pardon themselves is if they burp or fart in public.

[beckyguelette]

Way to much power to hand to a criminal.

[marcokalin]

Why does he have to give a precautionary pardon? If you are innocent, you don't have to!

[llewellynkereiff]

Why would they need pardons? Don’t tell me they’re

[clearlake]

What's all this about a 'shining city on a hill'? I'm a European, so it needs explaining to me.

So in other words THEY ARE GUILTY OF SOMETHING!!
