Why would he? He doesnt care about them.

[PlagueOfGripes]

Could the President just pardon every person on the planet if the sitting President wanted to? It seems like there is no real limit or foundational logic to how it's applied.

[keithnewton]

They probably expect him to pardon them but he won't because he doesn't care about them. They have served their purpose and can be thrown away.

[belegl.]

Mr. LegalEagle: "Stay tuned for more election coverage!"
Me: "It's January, just make it

[beverlyweber]

Insane. Cannot imagine the Founding Fathers loving this.

[raffaelepiccini]

if he pardoned them he would 100% be convicted by the senate.. it would almost be an admission of guilt lol

[garanceadrosehn]

The way things are going in the 2020's, there's enough craziness going on that you'd be able to post 3-4 videos per day.

[ThroneOfBhaal]

The president really should be allowed to issue pardons while he's actively being impeached...

That just sounds like a terrible combination of things.

[paul]

Those pardons would look really awful for him in other courts, especially after the scripted follow-up speeches he gave condemning them.

[alexties]

Devin: See you in court
Trump: Haha pardon go brrr

[areyoulostbabygorl]

Last time I checked, America was meant to be against terrorists. But I’m sure this is completely different, right?

[JMaxwellE]

Holy hell I hadn’t even considered this...

[Yaboyzerve]

"Can the POTUS do this horribly corrupt thing and just get away with it?"
Legal Eagle: 'As always, yes'

[bradbaxter]

Why would he do that? He already said the rioters that were involved in violence and destruction of property should be prosecuted.

[SoFlyVA]

You should do an Office episode for a “laws broken” episode

[talibansnm]

That's a power that should be reformed, its too broad and too general.

[joshmnky]

Ah, but you forget Section 7, which states no one with tire marks upon them can be pardoned. They've already been thrown under the bus.

[thedebatehitman]

Yes on federal charges, but he knows that doing so would invite Republicans to convict him in the Senate.

[ZhclTl]

I've been thinking about this since the day of and it seems like no one has even addressed this question. Thanks!

[nishantray]

why the bloody hell does the USA, which is supposedly a democracy give so much power to one guy?
