I could actually be persuaded to go along with this if:
1) Biden and O'bama are stripped of their citizenship and sent into exile
2) Several underlings hang for the crimes they committed on their behalf
3) Hillary is arrested and put on trial
4) Three other countries have arrest warrants and extradition requests for crimes Biden and O'bama have committed against and/or in these countries

I’d rather see him hanged, or at least in an orange jump suit.

Someone tell Pollack that if Hillary would have won, his website would have been shut down and all of us except the elites in their bunkers would be DEAD.

Look. This whole "we don't prosecute our presidents mumbo jumbo went out the window with the harassment/persecution/setting up of Donald J. Trump. If you want a gentleman's agreement, both sides must be gentlemen.
They started this war, and if nuclear it goes, then nuclear it must be.

Quite a stupid idea. Mr. Pollack should lay off the day drinking while writing.

When someone is pardoned, they can be compelled to testify. There would be no 5th Amendment protections available, since their testimony could never be used against them. Failure to testify in those circumstances can get you jail time, as can (of course) lying under oath.
Just saying.

He wont be charged with anything much less pardoned. There isn’t a jury in D.C that would convict him of ANYTHING.

If,by chance,in October the President's "in house" polling (I'm not talking CBS News polls) shows him losing an interesting,and possibly compelling,move would be to issue full Presidential pardons to Plugs,Osama Obama,ILLary and maybe a few others...kinda like Ford did with Nixon.
None of them would have ever gone to trial anyway and that just might get people to thinking.

I’m ok with PDJT pardoning Obama...after Barry’s been found guilty and spent one night in federal prison. I’d event mount his mugshot on the wall.

It would, of course, drive Obama, Biden, the Democrats, and the media crazy. Pardoning Obama and Biden would, by itself, imply that they had done something wrong That is the ONLY thing I like about this idea. The pardon would have to be for crimes committed prior to Trump taking office only.

Right. There's a first time for everything. It was the first time in history that the outgoing president has ever tried to sabotage the incoming administration.

When Obama became president, I wondered if he would bring dirty Chicago politics to the office. Obviously, the answer was yes.
Can he now be indicted for leading a coup attempt? A D.C. jury would never convict him of anything more serious than jaywalking. He would win, and win big. It's not worth the risk.
The best we can hope for is that Obama becomes known as an unindicted co-conspirator.
Target the criminals who can be convicted. When they are convicted, WE win.

Id like to see the Obamas serving life without parole in an Israeli prison, with extra rendition granted.

Other than making a lot of people justifiably angry I like this idea. First they can be compelled to testify after the pardon and reveal all the details. It makes Trump the obvious better man to pardon the very crooks who stole his time and smeared him with lies. It would help unify a deeply divided nation. The truth is these two crooks are not going to face justice in this lifetime so why not paint them with a pardon instead? Nixon got one too and that drove the left wild!

Fast and Furious. Send Holder to Mexico. Oh, yeah. I refer only to Barry and Joe. And I don't like it. But it may be a wise thing. Hammering Barry is politically problematic, much as I want him hung on the DC mall.

“Not every abuse of power, no matter how outrageous, is necessarily a federal crime,”
Tell that to the barbers, gym owners and other peasants who’ve been jailed during this stupid lockdown.

To be pardoned,
1) they have to be convicted of a crime. Barr wont charge them.
2) Barr has now made it know there is now a 3 tier justice system, one for the rich, one for the poor and one for the DNC.
HIS FAT ASS NEEDS TO GO!
