Trump said he would consider pre-emptive pardons to protect Elon Musk and other close aides should Democrats take control of Congress
Donald Trump said he would be willing to protect Elon Musk and his staff if Democrats take control of Congress after the midterm elections this week.
In an interview for the “Pod Force One” podcast published Monday, Trump said he would move to “protect” the billionaire SpaceX and Tesla CEO if Congressional investigators targeted him.
Trump also indicated that he was weighing pre-emptive pardons for his close aides and others around him should the Democrats pursue investigations, according to Axios. It is a notion that the president has floated before to keep his team from facing prosecution for actions during the first two years of his term.
I will reiterate, Democrats need to do away with pardoning powers, retroactively.
No, keep the pardon, just invalidate Trump’s. Charge people with crimes they weren’t already pardoned for. Or just charge them all with treason and send them to gizmo to be questioned for 20+ years
Nah. First pardon all ‘illegal’ immigrants, in perpetuity.
