This is why as someone not from the US, the idea of a presidential pardon is extremely questionable.
What’s the point of separation of powers, if you can just pardon anyone?
I absolutely see a future for the US where there is a political assassination, and the president just pardons the perpetrator. Of course, something like that doesn’t happen in a vacuum, but democracy isn’t built on loose rules. Y’all need to lock that shit down, like yesterday.
Good luck to the US (and us all, man you have a lot of nukes).
