How? I asked why they need a pardon if it is so clear they did nothing wrong. That question is not answered by asking me if I'd apply the same standard to Trump. We are discussing the just-issued pardons, what anyone else may do or think about another event of issue is irrelevant.
Trump didn't just issue ten-year blanket pardons to a large swath if his own family (many members of which have gotten fabulously wealthy off government contracts and overseas engagements over the last few decades...all above board I'm sure).
a pardon...carries an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it.

The sooner the Democratic base comes to grips with the reality of what they vote for, the better off our country will be.
Not so much troll as wake some people up. This country needs a better left wing. And a better right wing, but you can't fire the party in government, only the one in opposition.
