Who could president Trump pardon?

Joe Exotic.

Himself for lots of reasons !

Bernie Tiede who is serving a life sentence for murdering Margorie Nugent in a fit of rage.

Saw the movie staring Jack Black and Shirley MacLaine. It was so funny.

Edward Snowden.
That 17 year old kid who shot protesters.
The guy who shot Gabby Giffords.
The guy who shot John Lennon. (I know his name. I choose not to say it.)

The president can only pardon for federal convictions. Most crimes are prosecuted by states. Governors can give pardons for those.

That’s why the NY state investigations of Trump & family are most important. He will probably give himself a federal blanket pardon before leaving office. Whether that sticks is up to the courts. Which is a big reason he’s anxious to seat cult member Barret.

Harvey Weinstein
Bill Cosby

Only whatever god he does not believe in.
But this reminds me of a joke I read recently:

“Trump dies from the virus. He goes to Hell where the Devil is waiting for him.

“I don’t know what to do,” says the Devil. “You’re on my list but I have no room for you. But you definitely have to stay here, so I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I’ve got three people here who weren’t quite as bad as you. I’ll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I’ll even let YOU decide who leaves.” Trump thought that sounded pretty good so he agreed.

The devil opened the first room. In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He kept diving in, swimming to the bottom and then resurfacing, over and over and over, such was his fate in Hell. “No!” said Trump. “I don’t think so. I’m not a good swimmer and I don’t think I could do that all day long.”

The Devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. “No! I’ve got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!” commented Trump.

The Devil opened a third door. In it, Trump saw Bill Clinton lying naked on the floor, with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky… doing what she does best.

Trump looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, “Yeah, I can handle this!”

The Devil smiled and said, “Monica, you’re free to go!”

The movement to free Joe Exotic by Presidential pardon wasn’t a joke, even though it probably sounded funny.

Anyone he damn well pleases.

He could pardon El Chapo and go into business with him

@filmfann, Snowden has already said he doesn’t want a pardon. He wants a fair trial in Court. I imagine it would mean a court with a jury which he wouldn’t get because of the things that would be discussed. One judge would make the decision. To receive a pardon you have to admit you did wrong which is why I guess he doesn’t want one. He will always be considered a traitor.

I assume he will pardon Ivanka before he left office for sure.

Howza bout these 5 guys planning to kidnap Governor Whitmore?

@filmfann

I was also thinking of the guys who were plotting to kidnap Gov Whitmer of Mishigan! ;-p

Trump will try to give them all preemptive pardons, AKA peepees.
