Hello! I was scrolling along until I saw an article about a Pardon in Texas. In the comment section people talked about how pardons are even still a thing and one User pointed out that they are totally easy to abuse. Like why can’t a governor hire a hitman to kill his political Opponents and then just pardon him? Would this be possible? Can a governor or let’s say the president just straight up do that?
Thank you all in advance!
Easy to abuse for sure. It does happen frequently. Perhaps none more damning to the project of accountability than the parden of Richard Nixon. Presidents are seen as above the law. A conviction is viewed as “dividing the nation” to hold them to their actions.
Hopefully Biden doesn’t do this for Trump. Fuck that shit stain.
I don’t really Biden doing that, he’s certainly had no problem calling out his supporters thus far. What we really have to worry about is the Georgia case getting a bad judge
Though I could be completely wrong, of course.
