His tiny hands are the “WRONG HANDS”. Given total immunity from prosecution, he can promise pardons for loyalists installed throughout the executive branch who can then commit crimes for him and the whole thing is protected by activist right wing Supreme Court justices.
It spells the end of an American constitutional republic and democracy.
Never let a sinister sadistic narcissistic orange tool of the Heritage Foundation GET THE PARDON POWER!
WEHLE: Worst-case scenario is that person goes into office armed with the criminal immunity decision, knowing that official acts can be used to commit crimes, and decides they don’t want to leave. And so they are going to bring people into the administration with complete, abject loyalty, offer them pardons – that information could be kept secret, potentially, under the immunity ruling – and populate the massive, powerful apparatus of the executive branch with people that are willing to commit crimes. And that will be the end of democracy, because when you’ve got the power of the commander in chief, the military, the FBI, the CIA, federal law enforcement, the IRS, the ability to spy on individuals, the ability to conduct bogus investigations, and people know they can engage in that with impunity – that is not democracy. That is something closer to a dictatorship.
INSKEEP: OK, wow. I thought you were going to tell me Donald Trump wins office and pardons the January 6 rioters. You’re worried about a lot more than that!
Waste NO PIXEL on this. BALLOTS WILL BE COUNTED in 77 days.
