Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders urged President Biden to “very seriously” consider pre-emptive pardons for members of the Jan. 6 Committee after Trump threatened to jail them.
Trump has also pledged to pardon convicted Jan. 6 rioters, calling their imprisonment unjust.
Sanders condemned Trump’s remarks as authoritarian, while some Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, disagreed with Trump’s proposal.
Committee members, including Adam Schiff and Bennie Thompson, defended their work, calling Trump’s comments an attack on democracy and the rule of law.
Right now, Biden could remove Trump, and the Supreme Court ruled he could not be held accountable while president.
I bet this post will be used against me as proof of a crime in the future. We’ll just have to wait and see.
A martyrdom so that cretin J.D. Vance gets to take over after him?
Nah, fuck it, go all the way. There’s something up anyway. World leaders are becoming more frantic and desperate. They’re scared of something.
The projected collapse of the environment around 2040?

Narrator: humanity did not adapt.
Trouble is only the president is immune from prosecution, per SCOTUS. Unless Biden personally chokes the life out of Trump’s flabby, orange body, someone else would be on the hook for murder
He could remove SCOTUS too.
Im not sure about the USA, but in Romania you cant get punished for a crime if you were threatened by someone to do something(with a real chance of the threat happening), only the person who threatened you
In the united states the military has had it drilled into them that they have a legal obligation to disobey unlawful orders even when threatened. It’s a little bit because of Nuremberg and a lot because of the massive number of war crimes we committed in Vietnam
Not advocating, just saying the “logic” of complete immunity plus his pardon powers means he can just make it go away, right? (This is why the idea of prosecutorial immunity is a terrible one.)
I beg your pardon
