Offer full pardons

[orangecrush]

To Pence and any cabinet member who signs on to article 25 Trump.

Watch how fast he's gone.

1. Interesting idea to consider. These guys are so corrupt that I am sure we'll be able to prosecute

them for other things, so long as the pardon would be limited to certain actions/activities.

[orangecrush]

2. Probably the only reason

They haven't done so is Trump has something on them.

Take that away.

[in2herbs]

5. Yes, but as the investigation continues and it's learned that these pardoned officials did not tell

everything they knew (like what trump/putin has on them) they would lose their position and go to jail.

3. Well how does that work? Doesn't Chump need to give the pardon?

[Bluethroughu]

4. No way. They need to be out of office

If they were part of the organized insurrection.
This could have been really bad.
Like end of the county, bad.

6. Pretty sure that is a bribe, and not a legal offer to make or take

Yeah, I know Nixon-Ford supposedly had an agreement. Doesn't make it legal.

[Fiendish Thingy]

7. That would be bribery on Biden's part, an impeachable offence. Nt

[orangecrush]

8. Sure hasn't stopped Trump.

[Fiendish Thingy]

9. Should Biden be better than Trump? Nt

[orangecrush]

13. Yes.

Sorry, I didn't know it was improper.

Do now, thanks.

10. Not sure about that, there's no personal benefit to Biden nt

[Fiendish Thingy]

11. It's a quid pro quo, it's bribery. Nt

[coti]

12. No, political deals aren't inherently bribery or even unethical

You're being overbroad. Where corruption comes in is when there is PERSONAL benefit, of any kind.

[Silent3]

14. Prosecutors make immunity deals, or offer lesser charges, shorter sentences, frequently...

...to get testimony against "bigger fish". I don't see how this would be different.

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. Because it's using the pardon power of presidency, not a plea bargain

If you can’t see the difference, both legally and morally, I can’t help you.

[Silent3]

18. I never considered plea bargains to be particularly moral...

...more a matter of expedience, the lesser of two evils. So, no, I don't see the hard, sharp moral line you seem to think is obvious.

15. If they just wanted pardons they would get it from Trump. And it's a stupid idea

regardless.

[orangecrush]

17. I think you misunderstood.
