Showing Original Post only (View all)Any chance Biden will pardon Trump so the US can "heal and move on" ? [View all]
Ford was not given a second term, arguably, because he pardoned Nixon but Biden said he won't seek a second term so that won't be a consideration.
If he did this it would send the message that in fact the president is above the law no matter what they say.
Instead of healing it would open up the sore, allowing it to fester into a malignant, life threatening wound.
I hope Biden realizes this and does not stand in the way of lawful consequences towards a president who tried to eliminate American justice and democracy.

I highly doubt it, but if he did, his presidency would be judged a failure. Nt

Not Biden's choice, unless he wants to mess with Justice's business.

Pardon him for what? Did he do any crimes while president? He would need to detail why. 😄

Biden is way too savvy for that. Plus, even though he says he'll leave all that stuff to his AG,

All I can say is that better not happen. Not challenging Nixon's blanket pardon
