Well, this was interesting. I checked in on this thread expecting to hear remarks about the Supreme Court’s hearings on transgender kids, but then there’s this fiasco. Lol.
Some Democratic lawmakers, led by U.S. Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, are publicly advocating for the pre-pardons ‒ alarmed by Trump’s repeated past threats to prosecute his political enemies and his recent pick of longtime ally Kash Patel to replace Christopher Wray as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They note that anyone facing an FBI investigation or federal indictment could be forced to spend significant time and money defending themselves, and where the risk of prison time is real in the event of a conviction.But other Democrats, already upset by Biden pardoning his son after he promised he wouldn’t, say preemptive pardons aren’t necessary and warn it could set a dangerous precedent.Yet the possibility of pre-pardoning people who have not been charged of any crimes raises several legal concerns that could ultimately sway Biden not to take action, according to legal experts and lawmakers. Accepting a pardon carries with it the suggestion of accepting guilt. And some Democrats worry Biden would set a new precedent for pardons, opening the door for Trump to take similar actions.
