Washington DC prepares for Biden inauguration with unprecedented number of troops on street

One name that appears to be missing from Donald Trump’s proposed list of pardons is Donald Trump. For some time there has been speculation that he would attempt to pardon himself, but that equation got more complicated with the assault on the Capitol on 6 January and moves in Congress to impeach him. Issuing himself a pardon under those circumstances would look self-incriminating.

Is it like wishes? How many does he have. Does it have to be USA or can he pardon his mate Boris and Gove at same time?

Yay more criminals at large That why pressing charges will most likely starting after the 20th You cannot pardon someone who is not convicted yet

PardonSnowden PardonAssange Snowden wikileaks

I suppose he'll pardon Hitler and Stalin posthumously, after someone explains what posthumous means of course.

I told you about TRUMP CULT. Now one CULT lawyer (Watkins) will ask Trump to pardon Chansley, comparing him and others to 'CULT MEMBERS'. “They were betrayed by somebody in whom they’d placed their faith,” like the followers of Jim Jones. The only thing missing was the Kool-Aid.”

Refilling the swamp.....

What a total shit this man is....

In Spain, the government plans pardons for the perpetrators of the coup in Catalonia. The vice president, the communist Pablo Iglesias, considers Puigdemont a victim. This man must resign, 'coups are not justified'. Separatists spread terror in the streets! LaSilenciosaCat

He should

In Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, it states that the president “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.”

Maybe they'll be delayed by the post office... 🤔

JoeBiden should consider pardons for 1000s of black men unfairly imprisoned....to balance the scales with trumps shameless corrupt pardons

How specific are the pardons? Are they some sort of generic get out of jail pass of do they refer to a specific crime? If they are specific everyone getting pardoned tomorrow should be investigated for other crimes which they quite certainly committed

To the highest bidder... you fucking shill.

Are they paying him

How can a president with two impeachments under his belt be allowed to pardon anyone, himself included?

LadyManvers only federal pardons - not state pardons ...

Because of course he will. And I bet virtually every single person in his inner circle will get one. He may even try to pardon himself but I wonder of what and what happens if the court strikes the pardon down.

Can this 💩 just go now already!

This isn't really news. Every president does this.

Pardoning those who know the truth about him . Hoping this buys their silence when the investigations start .

So, when we see the AndyKaufman pardon, don’t be surprised if Donald changes his name by Executive Order to AndyKaufman.

Draining that swamp By throwing toxic waste into it

McDonald's to issue limited edition McFlurry of Pardons ice cream.

...is this news or more “opinion”?

I refuse to watch him live. I’ll follow the Twitter commentary, knowing he wants to Tweet but can’t. Well, unless he borrows someone else’s account. What a loser.

Fingers crossed for Assange and Snowden!🤞🤞🤞

Can we please get his Twitter account reactivated just for that day? C'mon ye buncha killjoys

He ain't got no more money so

White House now one of the most polite places to be at the moment... Pardon me.....Pardon me...

Trump has been up to no good all doing his Presidency.

But to accept the pardon there is an admission of guilt and wrong doing. So anyone accepting them has tarnished themselves forever as a bit of a bad un.

Unless its Snowdon, assang and Ulbrecht i don't really care

If Trump pardons himself and those nearest to him it would leave only himself exposed to future prosecutions. If he pardons no one, Garland might prosecute his family & inner circle but might also avoid the complexities of prosecuting an ex president.

Every time is see pardon I think what’s the big deal it’s only a burp and even presidentses have gastro problems leave it out

$2M each. This is where we're at.

Love it😂😂😂 I used to tell my kids when they were little that farts were called Pardons. Puts this in a whole different light 😂😂😂

I'd expect with all the Trump's he's more than used to making pardons... (Rather low brow from a Guardian reader 😁)

Drain the swamp! Drain the swaa-wtf?

About time Trump apologized for something...... .

Even though he is impeached and not yet acquitted..?

Is he not limited as to how many pardons he can give?

a couple more crazy pieces of audio from inside the capital building, you hear a crazy prayer from a trump supporter and an argument over whether sitting in the vice presidents chair is being disrespectful.
