Trump just pardoned war criminals and has offered to pay the legal fees for his supporters who beat up protesters. What’s to stop him from openly telling his domestic terrorist base to follow through with their threats, have them charged in federal court and then pardoning them?
He’s still in office for 27 more days thanks to the GOP Senate, Barr just left leaving an even BIGGER Trump sycophant in charge of the DoJ for the next 4 weeks...while the public is distracted by Christmas, New Year’s & a mountain of COVID deaths.
Several have noted that his pardon won’t help with state charges...but some of THEM won’t know that. I suspect that’s why he’s floating pardoning Rittenhouse. He’s been told he can’t—but his base may hear about it and assume he can.
