I like your idea to use pardons for leverage. Also, it would be good to see Trump play a little dirty with that and do the Lucy with the football routine.auroraave wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:25 pm
Biden doesn't have much time left - I doubt he even wanted to run in the first place. If he could wriggle out of this and get back to his basement, anything to expedite that is a good thing - for everyone. And it gives Trump all the leverage. if Biden is really doomed - and he knows he's doomed - this could literally kill him - the stress. Just like Paterno. I don't want to see that. I want to see a fair election that represents the will of the American people, an exposing of the culprits behind the fraud, and a sanitized voting system to ensure this never happens again. If that means pardoning Biden, I'd make that deal in a heartbeat - and Trump is a dealmaker. I simply don't believe Biden wanted to run in the first place, but he was so entrenched in the system he had to 'play ball' one last time to keep the illegal takeover of the government on target.
However, Trump would have to pardon quite a bit to get Biden off the hook. There's all the pay-for-play with China and others. There's Biden's participation in the Flynn take down, the coup attempt and now the presidential election heist... "most inclusive voter fraud program in American history."
Pardoning Biden is like pardoning Obama. I think those guys at the top, including Clinton, are beyond pardoning.
Now the lower ranking henchmen that made it all happen... Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein... Stacey Abrams? Sure, dangle that pardon and let them roll over on everyone.
