Donald Trump has promised to pardon his White House staffers, reported the Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey in an exclusive report on Friday.
Dawsey, the veteran DC reporter, cited “people who have heard his comments” in the bombshell report revealing that Trump is asking his staff to operate with a sense of impunity.
“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump reportedly told staffers “in a recent meeting to laughs.”
This is why I don’t want bondi being investigated right now. I can wait 3 years.
BOMBSHELL!!!
Ok hold, that’s fine let him do that. Now what the next president should do just assassinate them and then pardon the assassins. Since it seems that we can do whatever the fuck we want with the pardons now.
And citizens are supposed to pay taxes to support these criminals?
Well, true Americans, not the woke American left or antifa /s
I guess if they do they feel represented by them, isn’t that their whole thing?
How do pardons work on war crimes?
They hold no weight with the ICC, you just need a president willing to comply with the warrant.
But does a US President even have the right to send US citizens to The Hague? I imagine not, since the US is not a signatory.
If there is no legal US framework, then sending them to The Hague against their will would presumably literally be a crime under US law. In principle, US President can’t just kidnap people.
lol, this made me laugh in the most depressing manner.
Oh, don’t worry. Gdub signed the Hague Invasion Act back in 2002, so we already have a legal justification to invade the Hague if they get uppity and checks notes hold these evil fucks accountable for their crimes.
US President can’t just kidnap people.
🇻🇪 👀
Trump has previously pardoned at least one guy convicted of warcrimes in US courts. So I assume pardons work just fine, for that purpose.

Well that’s fucked up.
The trick is to be pardoned by a war criminal.
You have to be charged first morons
Didn’t Biden preemptively pardon his family to prevent them from being heckled by this maniac?
Cant the president undo that shit if he wants to?
They wouldn’t need a pardon if they were not committing crimes.
I know why he did it but I really wish Biden hadn’t pardoned his son. Sets a precedent that the right will use.
Openly manipulating markets and now betting sites for personal gain. They have already embezzled billions. Crypto scams up the wazzo.
The grift knows no end.
The system allows it, real democracies don’t rely on people’s good faith
Why do they need assurances that they’d get pardons?
This is the guy that claimed anyone taking the Fifth was guilty, now promising pardons?
Are war crimes pardonable?
are war crimes enforced period? I mean there’s been what 2 small countries prosecuted for war crimes since WW2, and a couple of world leaders walking around with arrest warrants on their heads that don’t really seem to be affected by it anyway.
So what. He promises a lot of things he doesn’t deliver. Staffers know that best of anyone.
They should, but so many still get caught out thinking they were special and that surely after 79 years, they’d be the person Trump didn’t screw over
I’m not sure they are thinking that. I bet they think they are the one person who can somehow ride the wave that it trump and find a way off it and still win. Like how a golddigger is hoping the guy will die soon. I mean, while hw is a grifter, he is a sloppy one. So the people around him end up recieving plenty of the spoiles of his grifting (points to stock market data right before trump does something that affects it greatly). So even if he does turn on them, they usualy come out rather rich.
More corruption. And Americans continue to do nothing .
I think most Americans are apathetic about issues that don’t effect our lifestyles. We don’t necessarily like the actions of our country as a whole, but we limit our outrage to the internet and the ballot box.
Too bad the ballot box won’t be much of an option for you, but most won’t even notice form how many don’t bother to vote.
It’s almost like they’re criminals or something.
You know, you always have the power to void any pardons from Trump (create a new law). But that would require you lot to grow some balls which I don’t see happening.
