Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915) -
"Agree pardons can’t be issued until someone has been convicted of a crime!"
DJT’s justice department should take this to court. Blanket pardons for every crime a person has not been charged with or accused of can’t be allowed.
Again, “Pardons impute guilt, and accepting them, confesses guilt!”

That’s a legal fiction, because as they say, the process is the punishment. Innocent people might want a pardon to avoid the undeserved punishment of subjugation to the process.
So, a bit of forensic accounting can show massive income from criminal activity, and the Feds can seize it, right?
Pay-per-view $$$ from public hearings on the now-pardoned Bidens (who cannot assert “the 5th”) would put a dent in the deficit.
