Trump was reportedly involved in discussions about the possibility of issuing pre-emptive pardons. The speculation centred on who might be the recipients of such pardons, not that the discussions were taking place.
There is a nuanced distinction here, one I’m sure you simply overlooked. You wouldn’t be so disingenuous as to deliberately misrepresent someone’s statement, would you?
Mistakes happen, after all.
It’s intriguing that you would label the link as “evidence” when I never described it in such terms. You might want to be more cautious about how many cracks you let show in your mask, this is all starting to feel remarkably familiar.
Your exact words were that Trump "tried and failed".
Trump never tried to give anyone a pre-emptive pardon, you just made that up, or you believed the conspiracy theory that the legacy media invented.
Au contraire, he was actively trying to make it happen, starting with the discussion to assess its feasibility. Turns out, the idea would crumble under the weight of legal scrutiny, so it couldn’t be realised.
And let's not forget the precedent is laid bare in this thread.
The initial claim?
"The Biden White House is considering preemptive pardons for those in Trump's Crosshairs."
The predictable outrage brigade's response, to condemn Biden as if the pardons were already signed, sealed, and delivered.
But when Trump entertains the idea, it’s mere intellectual musing. When Biden considers it, suddenly he’s transformed into a mafia don?
If you can’t even manage consistency in your manufactured outrage, don’t be surprised when no one takes you seriously.
