…The power of pardon conferred by the Constitution upon the President is unlimited except in cases of impeachment. It extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission,
either before legal proceedings are taken or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.
The power is not subject to legislative control...
Doesn’t matter.
Nobody prior to Trump leaving office was upset that the rioters weren’t pardoned. Nobody was really asking for it either and when they did they got made fun of.
People are just using the Trump should have pardoned line now for political purposes or don’t realize it is the BIDEN regime who is abusing the system.

2. Trump had to undergo a fake impeachment for their actions, and they want him to pardon them? ‘Scuse me, they can go straight to the Hot Place.

4. I’m telling you guys that at least a solid minority of Q leadership are Leftist PsyOp types. Not all of them (I believe most are good citizens in need of a mystery novel), but a small part of the leadership are Leftist PsyOps. You think someone who was pro-Trump would a) go on CNN and b) liken the protestors to those poor souls that drank that that poisoned Flavor-Aid at Jonestown ....?
Don’t be duped FRiends.

5. It really doesn’t speak well for the strength of your case when your first attempt at defending yourself is requesting a pardon for your actions.

6. Would pardoning them be considered a High Crime or Misdemeanor? Can President Trump get the impeachment hat trick by Wednesday?

7. No way.
Those who participated, especially those who were violent and destructive, must be held legally accountable.

14. Why? The instigators were BLM/Antifa. Just like they were at the 2015 / 2016 Trump rallies.
