    Given the number of times “Trump will pardon him” is posted on lemmy for state crimes, so are most lemmykins.

      It’s rhetorical at this point. “trump will pardon him” is more or less an indictment that he & his party approve of these sort of crimes.

      I guess a better remark would be “If trump were allowed, he’d pardon them. He’ll still try, probably.”

      Just like he couldn’t send Venezuelan green card holders to a prison in El Salvador with no due process, right?

        That’s very different There’s literally no mechanism that exists for him to pardon somebody accused of a state crime.

        Trump can’t break the laws of physics because he broke other laws.
