"The WSJ reported that Trump told staff in a private meeting that he’d β€œpardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval.” Another person told the Journal that the president said he’d pardon anyone who came within 10 feet. In fact, White House aides reported that Trump makes the claim quite often in meetings."

Trump Promises to Pardon Everybody Before He Leaves Office

This is exactly what Republicans got mad at Biden for by the way.

The New Republic
@Itchy the trick is, and what is gonna fuck Republicans, is he'll save it up but then die suddenly before he actually pardons anybody. They all go to jail.

@the_turtle

πŸ’₯ .... maybe Dilly detention center in TX

@Itchy they'd have to rename it Dildo Detention Center for them.
@Itchy can't pardon someone who hasn't been convicted. These people won't be convicted until after Trump is gone. Anyone who thinks he's got their back is an idiot
@bebadefabo it would be great to see them eat crow
@Itchy I mean, he can do that if he wants, but I don't think they'd be very happy about it. If you get a Presidential pardon, you have to keep your butt absolutely spotless for decades. Even the smallest thing like jaywalking can send you to prison for eternity by a grumpy judge. Half of all the J6 traitors are back in prison....but for things much, much larger than jaywalking. *does a Vanna White hand wave towards the GOP and then to the lovely prize of high crimes. No misdemeanors*
@praetor he appears that he does do whatever he wants
@Itchy Well....he can do that. He certainly is within his privilege to pardon. But in the history of the country, that has always turned into a nasty retaliatory nasty thing.
@praetor
he takes most things to a whole new level
