when do the rest of the pardons come?

[Takket]

drumpf only has about 72 hours left to pardon his friends and family for the multitude of crimes they committed. i have not heard any rumors about when those are coming. I figured he won't wait right up until 11:59 on wednesday in case anything happens that delays the process for any reason. Curious if anyone had heard anything....

1. Lawrence O'Donnell had a pardons attorney on his show.

Pardons can be issued and not announced.

The only time their existence would become known is if someone who received a pardon is ultimately charged with a crime. That's when the accused shows it to the court and it becomes public record. Otherwise, such confidential pardons can remain hidden forever.

I know this sounds a little like a conspiracy theory, but it would explain the unexpected silence about pardons during these final days.

4. Right, the attorney said pardons can be kept secret. And only pulled out later when needed.

I assume that is what Trump has done.
Issued pardons to himself and spawn, they will keep them tucked away for future use.

5. I was shocked when she went through it all.

10. I was as well

I had no idea the extent of presidential power, but that was because no one pushed the limits like Trump has.

6. My thoughts are that the Insurrection made them put pardons on hold

until things died down. I thought we'd see a big group on Friday night, but nothing. Probably they'll wait until Wednesday morning at this rate, when media eyes are on the inauguration build-up.

9. oh..........

so we can go ahead and charge them with EVERYTHING and make them whip out the pardon. to me the optics of that are actually WORSE because instead of prosecutors going "don't bother investigating or charging anything, they have a pardon", now prosecutors can show the public all the evidence and charges.

2. There really is no process

It doesn't even have to be written down. There has to be two witnesses in the room.

3. Read we should expect Broidy to get one

7. As soon as the checks clear?

8. I heard or saw somewhere a few days ago that Trump

was so pissed off about everything that he'd decided he wasn't going to issue any more pardons.

Given how Trump craves attention, I don't see him issuing secret pardons.

11. I wonder if we can have mandate on the number of pardons a president is allowed to issue

If we give him only a set number then they will think very carefully before making a pardon.
