Presidential pardons

How many pardons will Biden hand out ?


How many did Trump hand out ? And how many that received one have committed crimes after receiving one ?
All Presidents hand out Pardons in their last days. Some controversial, some not.

It is a Constitutional Right granted to the Commander in Chief. I have no problem with it.
Here's a partial and entertaining list of some Trump pardons. The link at the end of the second paragraph looks at all of them.

No surprise: "The guiding principle? Trump pardoned those who could benefit Trump."

I can say with confidence that despite what Biden says he’s going to pardon Hunter.
The Constitution does not address the reasons that a President might have in his decisions concerning Presidential Pardons.

Biden did his job and ate crazy shit for four years (eight really).

He won't pardon Steve Bannon. Or Jack Johnson. Or hundreds of January 6 "tourists."

The rest is up to him.

I do demand though that for the sake of the stupid ass MAGA obsession with his fucking laptop, that no pardon shall be given to his laptop, and the laptop does its full bit.

Now is the time for everyone in legal jeopardy in this country to consider making a generous contribution to the future Corn Pop Presidential Library to be constructed in Wilmington, Delaware.

Did you hear me? I'll say it again. All you crooks should get yer checkbooks out now!!

(With special thanks to Marc Rich and Slick Willy - two courageous trailblazers in the corrupt abuse of the Presidential pardon authority!)

It’s such a copout that they all do this, pardoning a bunch of people their last day as to avoid scrutiny. There should be a X days grace period for the incoming President to review them, or a requirement that pardons be given X number of days before leaving office.

Mr. Trump relished his power of the pardon. In fact, he would pardon individuals that had not yet been indicted for any crimes.



All you had to do was bump into Trump, say "Pardon me", and he would do it. That is how low his mentality is.


If you had the power to pardon, it would seem your family members would be high on the list.
