I do have to mention ONE thing here ( about TFG's BIGGEST MISTAKE in my eyes)

[bluestarone]

I honestly believe that TFG (LOSER) made probably the ONE biggest mistake, thank God! That was not giving a BLANKET PARDON for all involved with the terrorists attack on Jan. 6th. THIS would have, in my eyes STOPPED all investigations going on now. They, (the rethugs in the house and senate) will finish their plan if they get control! We ALL have to get involved more than ever in 22 and 24. VOTE and help OTHERS vote like never before!! I wish there was a way to stop a president from pardoning anyone they choose.

1. I'm not sure a blanket pardon would be legal.

I think pardons have to be individual and the person has to be named.

4. Not sure if you're right. BUT

It could have been done, THEN tie it up in courts, giving them time that they need?

6. That's a possibility.

Trump is great at delaying justice. He fights everything out in court and takes it all the way to the end. The people who would be receiving a blanket pardon, who felt they were in need of it, would open a can of worms about the power of a President, and it would likely go to the Supreme Court. Delay, delay, delay.

By the time it worked its way through the courts, the Republicans might be taking over and they'll start investigating the 1/6 Committee and trying to muddy the waters. Our time might be short, so we have to work double time to get the work done. I agree it's a good thing he didn't try to do a blanket pardon. He was probably afraid at the time that they would use the 25th Amendment if he tried that.

2. There are a set of rules

that are supposed to be followed before issuing pardons, but I guess that's just for Democratic presidents to follow.

3. You mean Loser.

He couldn’t. The narrative they planted at the time was that their protestors were peaceful and it was antifa who rioted.

5. YEP! TY.

7. A blanket pardon likely wouldn't have stopped the investigations.

Indeed, it would mean that those who received a pardon would not be able to claim a Fifth Amendment right not to give testimony that would incriminate them in federal crimes.
