correct me if im wrong but doesnt accepting a pardon necessitate accepting guilt first ? might not be on the table for people who acted on principle


He's already seen as guilty. If he came back to the US and stood trial, he would not be allowed to argue before a jury/judge of why he did it for "moral" reasons because under the espionage act he would be barred from arguing he did it for moral reasons or personal convictions about orders/actions being taken were violating the constitution.

Rittenhouse is facing Wisconsin state charges. Trump has no authority to dismiss state charges.

I thought Trump would be wise enough to pardon Manafort until after the special election. Kushner's dad also pardoned.

It just appears corrupt, that's all. Very few people actually care about what happened or what he did. Given how close the GA election is, I think I'd be a little less brazen.

One thing with these pardons related to the Mueller investigation - SDNY and EDVA can compel testimony from pardoned persons now, since there's no jeopardy of self-incrimination.
