You literally can't plead the 5th when you are pardoned brother you have to give an actual answer. Why do you think Hunter is in South Africa right now?
Incorrect, you still can if you think it would incriminate you for something you aren't pardoned for.

Furthermore, are they pardoned still or not? wooooo!?!? If they have good reason to think they're not? 5a rights lmao.

The pardons are sweeping for almost a decade for specific people like Liz Cheney so if it's ruled she still is pardoned she would be forced to answer yes.

You're not allowed to reverse a presidential pardon lmao.
Then I guess they will be answering the questions.
 
I'm not a Trump fan but I find his presidency part 2 fascinating so far. If anything, I'm appreciating how far laws and standards are being pushed and proded. It's a good stress test and can help solidify more laws, for or against this administration's goals. I see it as a good thing if just to try and strenghten laws or redefine them to fit better to modern times. I'm sure we're going to get some crappy interpretations too.
 

I wonder how the news machine will paint this as the evil vile acts of a tyrant that isnt letting these poor obviously innocent individuals that were legally forgiven by the last democratically elected fully mentally functional president on his literal last day go on their merry way.
 
That's exactly my point. How the hell is that going to play out?
Presumably any attempt at a case will be thrown out by a judge and retarded attempts to drag these people in front of a committee will have valid 5a claims because Trump decided to be a retard and claim their pardons were rescinded.
 
They got pretty substantial blanket pardons. You would be pretty hard pressed to find a reason to plead the 5th outside of actively commiting crimes currently.
Meh, just plead the 5th either way. They can’t prove you’re doing it for something you’re pardoned for or not, or just do a ’can’t recall’. This isn’t Law & Order, they can’t compel anyone to tell the truth. Hell there are murderers caught dead to rights that refuse to admit their guilt, why would these people?
 
Trump, please… I can’t keep eating all these white pills.


This is personally bizarre for me because quite literally yesterday. I don’t know why, but my mind went to thinking about Biden pardoning essentially his entire family and I remember thinking how fucked that was and how no one seems to care.

Fucking O7’s to Trump if he does something with this.
 
As much as you want to pretend Biden had no idea about the pardons just because some O’Keefe retard said so, Biden said multiple times (including during his last interview as president) that he was considering pardons for Liz Cheney, Fauci, and Mark Milley.

The only pardons that really came out of the blue were of his other family members (nobody remembers Biden pardoned his brother while the inauguration was literally happening).

Nothing will come out of this.
