inb4 a US president gives us a purge night via presidential pardon.
Discussion
Relevant: acceptance of a pardon is acknowledgement of guilt. This was adjudicated in Burdick v. United States in 1915.
Another fun thing is if you are pardoned for a crime, the 5th amendment no longer applies as your testimony is no longer incriminating; lying is still perjury.
Putting Fauci on the stand and forcing him to admit to his crimes would still be effective. And the pardon isn't for any of his staff, who are probably themselves guilty of various offenses too.
This is very interesting...
How many people globally died by Covid-19, north of 20 million, right?
I'm guessing Fauci , Daszak & Co. Can be tried for crimes against humanity.
Those deaths were later revised - 99% were simply WITH a positive (and essentially meaningless) PCR, not caused by what is refered to as COVID-19.
I wonder if that smirk we saw from Jim Jordan after grilling Fauci shows its relevance now. Could've been setting up for this predictable scenario.
Wonder if Jim was betting on Fauci telling a lie, then a contradiction post-pardon and then perjury charges.
Nice work. DO IT!!
And then try the scumbags internationally??
The pardon only applies to federal crimes.
Many states have made federal crimes state crimes as well so lawyers will advise their clients to not say anything because it could be used in state or international court.
So basically if you’re committing crimes and the President is ok with it, or commit all sorts of crimes on behalf, of a regime. All they have to do is pardon at the end of Presidency? And pretend the crimes never happened? True clown world!
I don't think pardon power in general is crazy. It's not unlike jury nullification.
But the way it's been used by Biden is pretty lol.
His administration set such a low bar for lawfare, the pardons just show everyone how he's shitting his pants right now (and not from incontinence!)
