Also I just found out Jared Kushner's daddy is a disbarred ex con who (recently) did time in federal prison for tax evasion, embezzlement and a bunch of other shady poo poo lmao

There were rumors that that's why Chris Christie got pushed out, he didn't intervene on his daddy behalf

Can't wait to see Trump's 11th Hour pardons at the end of his term.

Bush mysteriously chose to pardon notorious and unrepentant serial killer Henry Lee Lucus, while ignoring a bunch of more sympathetic cases. I'm guessing Trump's pardons will be similarly weird because he will choose them completely at random, since it isn't something that he benefits from.

It was when he was state governor. Henry Lee Lucus was literally the only person he ever pardoned, and there has never been a satisfactory explanation, prompting all sorts of conspiracy theories.

He's so good at making deals that he's going to post-date a pardon for his own treason.

Then tell the courts that he is going to see them in court when it gets ignored.

according to Wikipedia, the Dallas something something found several contradictions in Henry Lee Lucas' testimony, raising concerns that he had falsely confessed, which is probably why his sentence was commuted

i don't think you get to pardon people if you resign or get impeached

yea Henry Lee Lucas was notorious for giving false confessions to police whenever they needed a convenient, already-in-prison fall guy. i think at one point he was "guilty" of like 150 murders, and since he was a borderline retarded hick, authorities started to become suspicious that maybe this guy wasn't some ethereal super-murderer

He and Ottis Toole may have had killed Adam Walsh, the son of John Walsh, who started the show "America's Most Wanted", but it's mostly unproven.

The president can pardon whenever he wants, so up until he leaves or is removed from office there's always the possibility of a wacky pardon on the horizon. They can also pardon pretty much whoever they want, I was just looking to see if Nixon tossed any out right before he resigned (doesn't look like he did) and found out Gerald Ford pardoned Robert E Lee
