Whether your in favor of those late pardons (Fauci, Jan. 6th etc..) or not. My question is, "is it legal - period ?" No matter what side your on, its gotta raise an eyebrow. Didn't know the Justice Department had a Pre-Crime Division.

I’m old school. “You do the crime, you do the time.”
I looked into this business of pardons. It appears to me that some of it is crystal clear and some of it is still open to conjecture. Doesn’t make sense to me that someone could receive a pardon for something they haven’t yet done. I don’t know, maybe I’m just too dumb to figure it out. Any lawyers out there??🤔

Per the news this morning, this isn’t the first. Most notably, Nixon was given a preemptive pardon before any criminal charges brought against him, which I am not sure if he actually broke any Federal laws? These pardons don’t stop any sort of Congressional or Senate investigations or hearings. Which if there is proof of wrongdoing, especially for gain of some sort, they use the hearings for the public to hear. Granted, Congressional hearings have turned into a circus, due to the fringes of each clown party having enough members to make the entire Congress look like a joke. Senate still holds some merit since the fringe whackos are at least in a solid minority. Pardons are Federal criminal only. Not sure what Federal crimes any of them would have broken? States can still bring up charges. Most crimes are State level. If the past 8 years has taught anything. Politicians can get away with anything, regardless if it goes to trial, mountains of evidence and guilty verdicts…
