Just wondering.....and wondering if the Military would have the appetite to do so, if able......if true treason was committed, the public needs to know
“You can’t pardon people for crimes they haven’t been charged with.”
That is not a correct interpretation of the law. Sorry.
Seems to me that Milley’s pledge to let China know what is going on is the very definition of treason.
Is it possible for the “PRE-EMPTIVE” Federal pardon to be rescinded?
Every one of these “pardons” issued by Joe Biden should be challenged, as they are far too sweeping in the degree of immunity being offered. All these pre-emptive pardons include the presumption of guilt on the part of the person being granted the immunity from prosecution, and very likely reflect on probable guilt on the part of the person granting the pardon. I cannot imagine of anything that is more self-serving on the part of Joe Biden.
If the pardon cannot be rescinded, then a civil suit for damages should be brought against the person of questionable veracity, and they be left with a mere subsistence level of financial support for the remainder of their days. Any income they may receive in connection with the proceeds of the civil suit should be forfeit, this includes any memoirs or published accounts.
An object lesson for generations to come.
It is, but all the dems and all the rinos just went “ho hum, nothing to see here”, so nothing was ever done about it.
President Trump needs to work his announced agenda.
I don't see anything wrong with creating a truth commission and calling in those pardoned to give testimony.
Their pardons should prevent them from invoking the 5th.
And they would be unwise to commit perjury.
> You can’t pardon people for crimes they haven’t been charged with. <
Ford pardoned Nixon for all federal crimes Nixon *might* have committed.
The presidential pardoning power is that great. The Founders made a mistake with there, in my opinion.

That is what the left did to Rudy and trying to do to pres Trump and fami,y and lawyers and friends and elon etc
“Experimental Gene Therapy.”
The prudent man didn’t thing so in 2021 and not today.
He cannot be pardoned for treason.
The whole idea of pardoning somebody for an unknown offense cannot stand. The blanket pardon cannot be Constitutional.
According to https://www.usconstitution.net/presidential-pardon-limits/ , Congress proposed a law (after Clinton pardoned Marc Rich) that would require the details of Presidential pardons to be made public. That suggests to me that the pardons themselves have to state what crimes are being pardoned, even if the crimes are not publicly disclosed. If blanket pardons are allowed, law enforcement and justice are a sick joke.
Exactly. He admitted that he is a Chinese spy.
Just because they were not challenged on the law does not mean it was correct.
Note: He’ll shall have the power, not others. If he was unaware he was signing a pardon or he signed it under duress, it may be struck down.
Actually it is correct. These so called pardons will likely end up in front of SCOTUS and be struck down.
I don’t think the country can move forward unless and until the illegal occupation of the US for the last 4 years is exposed and dealt with.
We must NEVER have this happen again. People need to realize that our own media is the enemy of the United States of America and has conspired to undo everything that America is.
We came one X away from being Nazi Germany in every way. Thank God for Elon Musk!
In addition the president is the commander and chief by his title so one would think the power would extend to this side of the government
Now *that* is an intruuging thought.
Another example of a preemptive pardon is Carter’s pardoning of all the Vietnam-era draft evaders.
You do raise an interesting point, tired&retired. Perhaps the Supreme Court could challenge such pardons. But I’m rather sure they won’t. A precedence has been set. And there is nothing in the Constitution to suggest that a president can’t issue such pardons.
Anyway, this is a pet peeve of mine. The Founders fought a war to get rid of a king. Then they gave the president an absolute, king-like power to issue pardons.
Something is wrong with that picture. Some sort of checks-and-balances should have been built into the process. Perhaps Congress should have the power to veto a presidential pardon just as a president can veto a congressional bill.
