Uh, don’t you have to be convicted before you can be pardoned?

[AintSkeerdNWO]

If your kids didn’t commit federal offenses then why would they need a pardon?

[jresdf]

Why would he even need to consider this? Does this mean his whole family has been committing federal crimes? Innocent people don't just go around trying to pardon everything before a conviction

[ericweinerhausen]

Pardon his children and Guliani. Ok, if you can't see it now... you're never going to. That's a clear admission of guilt. I have to pardon people who haven't been found guilty of anything?
If you've ever played poker....you know there's no way you'd ever show your hand before the round was played.

TRUMPS: the grifter family hard at work

Why do you have to pardon yourself & your kids unless you know you've committed crimes.

[ramborambo]

I pardoned myself from fallen in love with 😍 Trump’s wife!!

[michellediamond]

If your not guilty why do you need to be pardoned

[AndiDuck]

Pardons are given to criminals . Pardons are an admittance of guilt not an exoneration according to the SCOTUS !

[andis]

They need to confess their sin before being forgiven.

This just in!Trump has pardoned Hitler, mussolini, and Freddy Kruger!

[felinemagic]

If you grant a pardon and they accept then they are admitting guilt. Otherwise, you don't need pardoned.

[SuperRmalta]

I could be a hit man.
I might have asked trump for a list that would make him happy. I might perform these actions only if I'm pre pardoned. Do you really want to live in that world?

[n_Y_c__n_Y_c]

Give them what Trump wanted to give those Central Park five kids, ,

[rhymereason]

Apparently they all know they've committed crimes...

[ricktheexplorer]

I wish he would pardon Assange. He was a big fan before he got in office.

[ARCTERYXSWEATSHOP]

The thief in chief is pulling every dirty trick in the book.

[mattwesley]

He should pardon anyone he can. It is his presidential right.

[synchronium]

Why pardon your kids if they haven't committed a crime? Oh wait.
