    There's nothing to stop a president or would be president from encouraging followers to commit all sorts of federal crimes with the promise that they'll be pardoned.https://twitter.com/Bencjacobs/status/1487619765569003521 …

        Let's say you encourage your followers -- including elected officials and election officers -- to do all sorts of illegal shit to ensure you become president with the understanding that they'll be pardoned. What's to stop that?https://twitter.com/Bencjacobs/status/1487619765569003521 …

        The presidential power has been used in the past to help cover up crimes by a president's cronies and supporters (notably by the two Bushes) but Trump is really taking up to a new level.

        The Senate had the power to remove Trump from office and also to bar him from running again. The failure to do so opens up this possibility.https://twitter.com/Bencjacobs/status/1487619765569003521 …

        Interesting that people would still listen to this. He has had the opportunity to help people with legal costs or even pardons before he left and yet he has never. Just like he did on J6, he’s lying to get people to do what ge wants them to.
