Comey tweet, weird, small people felt they had the right to elect their own government????
Didn’t a cop stop someone today in PA from killing a lot on the sidewalk with a car?
In the past incoming pres would pardon outgoing pres. DJT did NOT do this…
Why did RR [BEG] Ryan to block the FISA MEMO from Congressional review/further advancement?
Because he authorized the continued investigation on POTUS after the inauguration
I’m thinking O holdovers…
She is just a big mouth piece to provide distraction
Although the terms clemency and pardon seemed to be interchangeable, in general terms executive federal clemency is granted after someone had allegedly committed a crime. In most cases, that person is convicted of a crime, and then granted a form of clemency.
In the case of President Richard Nixon, he was granted a pardon for any crimes he might have committed during the Watergate scandal, even though Nixon wasn’t charged with or convicted of federal crimes. (This is known as a pre-emptive pardon.) Another way a person can receive clemency after a conviction is through a commutation of a sentence.

Wait—can a president really pardon someone who hasn't even been charged with a crime?
Yep. In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Garland that the pardon power "extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment." (In that case, a former Confederate senator successfully petitioned the court to uphold a pardon that prevented him from being disbarred.) Generally speaking, once an act has been committed, the president can issue a pardon at any time—regardless of whether charges have even been filed.

Yes I think we have to go back and research who was pardoned…
I don’t recall any others being pardoned except Nixon …
We need to see if any other pres were pardoned
That’s what I thought that meant
When not in office yes. The pardon covers their term
I think so
Bush may not be covered though he pardoned himself
