6. Fuck him. Unfortunately he will be released in 2025.

[greenjar_01]

10. He might be released this week!

I'm still betting Trump commutes his sentence.

[madinmaryland]

16. Well, Volpe did assault a black man which is a positive for trump.

7. I'd say Ghislaine Maxwell if it weren't for giving up her 5th amendment protections.

That could prove awkward...

8. Were these pardons granted??

If so this is disgusting!

[Ilsa]

9. Robert Hanssen is really on the list?

He got at least a dozen foreign agents, maybe some US agents, killed by Russia. The extent of the damage he did is enough to get him assassinated by some former agents, I bet, if he tries to walk free. Fuck, I'd take a shot at him.

[greenjar_01]

11. There is no known list, OP is speculating, with tongue partially in cheek, I think

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Tom Petters,wow,

talk about a scammer,most folks who live in Minnesota know this POS and his Scam Operations. But,then he has the same character traits as the Diaper Man.

[BGBD]

13. Gonna be some rappers

Lil Wayne

6ix9ine

G Herbo

Casanova

He's going to pardon some of these. I put them in order of who I expect most likely to get one. He thinks being friendly with rappers helps him with black folks or at least make white people think he's not racist.

Trump won't pardon anyone who he doesn't think can help him in some way worth doing it for. It's all going to be about him.

That's why he's not going to pardon any of the insurrectionists. Doing so hurts him personally.

14. Aldrich Ames?

15. Is there a point where pardons become an abuse of power case (legally)?

I have read a couple of articles on the legal and constitutional history of the pardon power and back to the English law standards on which much of that is based. Sadly, the prevailing opinion seems to be that pardon powers under the Constitution are essentially unlimited (with the possible exception of a self pardon) and NOT subject to judicial or other review. Seems a bit much but clearly the founding fathers never envisioned someone as self dealing and malevolent as Donnie Boy. I suppose we'll be lucky if all the White House silverware remains on Wednesday afternoon.

19. Impeachment is an option for abuse of pardon power.

For example, taking bribes for pardons, etc.

The article in a thread I posted covers the possibility, as noted by the Congressional Research Office.

Of course, it's a little late for that.
