Donald Trump has promised to pardon his White House staffers, reported the Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey in an exclusive report on Friday.
Dawsey, the veteran DC reporter, cited “people who have heard his comments” in the bombshell report revealing that Trump is asking his staff to operate with a sense of impunity.
“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump reportedly told staffers “in a recent meeting to laughs.”
Biden already set precedent by pardoning his entire administration to prevent malicious prosecutions from this one. Motivation may have been different, but that doesn’t really change that he just promised to do the same thing Biden did.
Trump weaponised the DOJ. Trump is a war criminal. Trump would pardon his illegal deeds regardless if Biden used that power, however, the former president had to pardon unless continuous prosecution seems like a fun everyday activity.
Trump will say he does what Biden did, but he is a living sack of human garbage so his comments mean nothing. By that logic Biden could’ve removed democracy too, as Trump started his first term.
