So drumph can order pardons for everyone and that can be secret?

[BSdetect]

What kind of democracy is this?

Its just bizarre.

Another glaring flaw in this country.

Why bother having any investigations?

1. Who said the pardons can be secret?

Is that like double secret probation?

Apparently this is a thing. Amazing.

for 24 hours. There is a public record of pardons.

3. its the one we've always had

4. Why not "Get Out of Jail Free" cards for all Trumpies?

If you're going to take a dump on the law, why use halfway measures?

6. Link, please. If ou are making allegations like this, you need some sort of

supporting information.

Otherwise this thread is worthless.

7. regarding secret presidential pardons (Daily Kos 2009)

Excerpt:

Keith Olbermann's Countdown Item No. 4 included a blockbuster (I thought, at least) when Keith asked former White House Counsel under Nixon John Dean:

Is it possible Bush did pardon Libby and we don't know it yet? Followed by questions like, Do pardons have to be announced publicly?

Dean: (paraphrasing) No, they don't have to be announced. (!) By tradition, custom, some regulations, they have been in the past, but...Dean said he could see a case where Bush might issue a pardon in secret say for reasons of national security, and it only come out if someone was... say put on trial for torture and then that person announced, "Well, I've already been pardoned secretly by Bush."

We all know Bush loves to do things to protect us all.
