By allowing him to remain in office til Wednesday at noon, they’re giving him the chance to pre-pardon Horn Man Chansley and any others involved in the capitol riot - to then become celebrities and leaders of their insurrectionist movement. How extraordinarily irresponsible.

Is this precedent? Did previous presidents remain in office until noon on inauguration day?
Replying to @marwilliamson
You are seriously uninformed.

It also cements his political influence among a faction of his movement that is then politically immune from legal recourse. It would be a nightmare scenario really.

Plus I thought pardons were not allowed for crimes involved in the commission of insurrection?
Replying to @marwilliamson
No way he pardons the Capitol terrorists. That is surely grounds to impeach or restrict Trump from ever running again.

If he pardons them he makes it easier to build a criminal conspiracy case against him. No?

Stop reminding him
Replying to @marwilliamson
Any president who has been impeached should lose their pardon power.

Didn’t he and his friends tell us that the mob were Antifa?
