An interesting part of the video with this article regarding the process of getting a pardon
So, what in the world is the Office of the US Pardon Attorney for if people can just go around it, probably have no investigation but instead possibly under the table pardons given out to those with lots of money. Feels like everything was a grift under the table with the Trump administration. Anyone, I believe, should be able to go to the OPA and ask to see the papers for WHY someone was granted a pardon.
Also side note that it is creepy that Trump is throwing out, as a carrot to get elected again, that he would pardon the lawbreakers on Jan 6th. A lot of Republican lawmakers also asked Trump for pardons. Now why would they do that if they didn[t think what they were doing was aboveboard?
