This is the sort of political behavior that could incite fury.
President Donald Trump has pardoned a long list of prominent allies who backed his effort to subvert the 2020 election, according to Justice Department Pardon Attorney Ed Martin, who posted the relevant document Sunday night. …
The pardons are largely symbolic — none of those identified were charged with federal crimes. The document posted by Martin is also undated, so it’s unclear when Trump signed it. The White House and Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. [Politico]
My concern is that those so-pardoned them repeat their crimes, and their adversaries perceiving another pardon in their future. What might happen?
Violence is not out of the picture.
