Will Trump pardon the Rioters? (election, elect, federal, constitution)

[whogo]

Knowing that sick bastard he might.

[Frank DeForrest]

Now that would be a great FU

[SunGrins]

Does he know them all by name?

I think Biden should make it clear that, if he pardons any of those rioters, he will seek maximum federal charges against Trump himself.

Wouldn't they have to be convicted to be pardoned? Not likely that will happen in the two weeks he has left.

Some people have too much time on their hands to dream up this stuff.

I've got a lot of work to do before catching up with birthers, QAnon, election fraud believers, etc.

Nah, he should follow Kamala Harris example by setting up bonds to bail them out

Richard Nixon was not Indicted, nor arrested, (but was going to be indicted), but still pardoned by Gerald Ford, meaning federal criminal charges could not be brought.

Nothing in the Constitution prohibits pre-conviction pardons.
