Make no mistake about it. This pardon is a message to witnesses in the Mueller investigation. This president is conscious of his guilt.

(52,431 posts)If you've got a president happy to bypass all the proper procedures to safeguard against bad pardons, that is.
The only thing he can't pardon would be crimes such as perjury that happen *after* he's out of office.

The pardon could simply cover any federal crime anyone ever in his administration ever committed.
Even this keystone kops administration couldn't screw that one up.

(52,431 posts)i think what was meant is that donnie can no longer issue new pardons once he's out of office.
but he can issue them down to the last hour. most presidents, in fact, issue a few pardons in their finals few days or even hours.
