He could have written a pardon late on the 19th or morning of the 20th, and they wouldn’t have time to impeach/convict before his departure. Whether or not his chain of command would have still taken orders from him anymore between Jan 6-20 is irrelevant. Courts would later have been forced to abide by a lawfully issued presidential pardon, and practically all of these kangaroo court cases could have been prevented.
If McConnell and his cronies convicted him out of spite over the pardon, he could have appealed to SCOTUS since impeaching departed presidents is technically illegal anyway. He just didn’t want to risk his political future over saving these people.
Thousands of people were arrested during the BLM protests and over 300 face federal charges.
"Denial of civil rights under color of authority."
a good synopsis with distressing details
It should have been obvious that they would come after anyone they could. When was the last time you ever thought that the left wouldn’t cross a certain line? Pardoning nonviolent protestors would have been easily defensible.
Paying the legal bills is of limited help when you’re facing a DC jury that already decided you’re guilty before the trial even begins. It just means you’ll have fewer bills to pay when you eventually get out of jail.
Which defendants did he pay the legal bills for?
the reason for the rally is getting lost in the intentional misdirection...

peaceful protest
Did they dig up that NAZI WWII Judge to render this judgment?
New city name for DC: Potomenberg.
And two divisions of soldiers flooded into DC.
They got that idea from the movie Valkyrie when the Reserve Army was activated. Right out of the overthrow playbook.
I thought Enrique Tarrio was a Fed? They put their informants in prison now?
When it suits their purposes, they do. Or they have an “accident”. There is no honor among thieves.
Biased much?
Tarrio wasn’t even charged until March 2022. It’s not like there was a list of people who have been charged handed to Trump so he could name them and get a pardon for them before he left Geez get a clue.
You don’t have to have a list of names. Give me a break. There was talk of Trump giving himself a blanket pardon against any federal crimes the communists could have charged him with post-prestidency. He could have done that too and probably should have done it. I wouldn’t put it past them to put him behind bars after he’s secured the nomination. Tell me they wouldn’t do that. That’s probably their plan.
You’re a BIG MOUTHED keyboard warrior that would not get a handout Mosin Nagant from me and my armory when the shit hits the fan in my neighborhood. Suck on that cheese puff.
Awwwww did I hurt your fweeeeeelings? Give me a break.
So sick of you RINO cultists leading us down the garden path again. It’s not bad enough that we’ve got 2 more years of this moving corpse packing the courts full of Marxist lunatics bc all of his Trump’s Senate picks shat the bed in a year we should have won in a walk. He needs to take us down with the ship again 2 years later. Yippee!!!
Thus the term ‘useful idiot’.......................
