Nah, @realDonaldTrump is done
He& #39;s about to learn very quickly how hard it is to stay relevant for 4 years when there& #39;s a bench of more-talented politicians to take your place
There& #39;s a reason we& #39;ve only had 1 President serve non-consecutive terms https://twitter.com/lbcpundit/status/1324769191849873408">https://twitter.com/lbcpundit...

No detail needed. A blanket pardon – "a full and unconditional pardon for all crimes committed against the United States" – is sufficient https://twitter.com/erikrobson/status/1324821166414983168">https://twitter.com/erikrobso...
No clue. I& #39;d certainly hope so, but I& #39;m not close to any of them https://twitter.com/ezthrilla/status/1324819565054844929">https://twitter.com/ezthrilla...
Correct. You can& #39;t pardon future crimes https://twitter.com/WriterRJWright/status/1324825962656210944">https://twitter.com/WriterRJW...
Can& #39;t reign it in without a constitutional amendment to Article II https://twitter.com/erikrobson/status/1324826110450786304">https://twitter.com/erikrobso...
For Trump: 0%
For his kids: low-20%ish, just because they& #39;re exceptionally stupid in addition to being criminals https://twitter.com/ezthrilla/status/1324824461254647808">https://twitter.com/ezthrilla...

Depends on what she wants to do. If she wants a Cabinet slot, Biden/Harris would be fools to say no. Idk if she& #39;s interested in that sort of thing though https://twitter.com/tookercj775/status/1324826448054669314">https://twitter.com/tookercj7...
Probably not, but it& #39;s unclear. A pardon has to be delivered and accepted to be effective, so presumably he& #39;d need to identify everyone in the group for the pardons to go into effect https://twitter.com/herr_jason/status/1324826591281713152">https://twitter.com/herr_jaso...

No. A pardon only needs a crime to have occurred, regardless if the person was ever prosecuted for it

It& #39;s all smoke and mirrors.

All federal crimes ("Offenses against the United States"), yes
Can& #39;t pardon state crimes, which would be the province of state governors https://twitter.com/mojocitarita/status/1324845314692534274">https://twitter.com/mojocitar...

"Preemptive" in a time sense, no – a pardon can only forgive conduct that occurred prior to its issuance
But there& #39;s no obligation for the crime to be discovered for it to be pardonable

Say Steve Bannon follows through with his fantasies and beheads Dr. Fauci, hides the body, and no one notices Fauci is gone
Trump could issue a blanket pardon to Bannon, and it would cover the killing of a federal official even if no one knew Steve did it

Not that I& #39;m aware of; there& #39;d be no one with standing to sue
Regardless, the scope of the President& #39;s pardon power is near-absolute and has been considered by SCOTUS several times
See, e.g., this passage from Ex Parte Garland, 71 US 333, 380 (1867) https://twitter.com/kthxbye_guy/status/1324850577843625984">https://twitter.com/kthxbye_g...

Colloquially, Biden is president-elect when it& #39;s obvious he won (so days ago basically)
From a constitutional law standpoint, he becomes President-elect on December 14th when the Electoral College meets and votes https://twitter.com/_ttim/status/1325180194223652864">https://twitter.com/_ttim/sta...
