The power to pardon is not the President’s personal tool for protecting himself and his friends.

Without constitutional safeguards, the power to pardon is the president's plaything.

Then change it, because virtually every single president (Dems included) has handed out pardons to ppl that should not have gotten one.
Make Federal Pardons subject to a board of review, or at the very least, NO pardons from September of an election year through Inaug day.

It seems safe to say that white collar criminal lawyers aren't the best AGs...

It wasn’t intended for such, no. But without implemented restrictions and safeguards Trump will continue to use and abuse the power of the presidency.
He has 28 days to do exactly that, and no doubt he won’t utilize it.

Apparently it is like absolutely everything else he has been allowed to get away with. The lack of accountability is astounding. Committees and crazy slow investigations got no where. Just gave him license to do more.

I'm more concerned that everything Trump does is transactional.
Aren't you worried he will put one of those Blackwater mercenaries in charge of the DoD?

Apparently, the power to pardon *IS* the President’s personal tool for protecting himself and his friends.
After this 2020-21 demonstration, smarter crooks will want to be president. That's what scares me.

The Founders could never have imagined a leader as ignorant, corrupt, cruel and treasonous as . Pardons do not serve our modern Democracy.
