Biden: There’s No Way in Hell I’d Ever Pardon Trump as President

Good shit. Can't wait for AG Kamala Harris to have the DOJ officially charge Trump with whatever their investigation finds.
So we're gonna hear Biden pull a Trump and say he'll put him in Jail at one of the debates?
Surprised honestly, by holding him accountable the division of this country will continue as partisanship will definitely be hardened. Conservatives will definitely claim it's political when its not. It's justice being served.

I think prosecuters are chomping at the bit to go after Trump if we boot him to the curb
But we still need to win first
A good rallying cry for *everyone* who wants Trump to pay for the horrible things he has done.
Did this really need to be said? No Democrat on this earth would pardon Trump. It would be political suicide.
It would be, but never underestimate the power of the Democratic Party to do stupid shit like that.
Smart move.
Remember the precedent from before. Ford pardoned Nixon for the Watergate cover-up, and it utterly destroyed him in the 1976 election.
Obama chose not to pursue charges against the Bush administration, and it allowed the GOP to further evolve into the mutant it is today.

I'm not a big fan of his vote on the Patriot Act amendment the other day, but let's say Doug Jones doesn't pull it out in Alabama - What if he were Attorney General? That dude is an excellent prosecutor.
Lol
Biden isn't going to throw either himself or the 2024 nominee under the bus like that.
Good.
Though I doubt Trump will ever see the inside of a cell I'm glad that Biden will not interfere.

That's the hope but I could see Trump resigning early so he doesn't have to be at the inauguration and President Pence pardoning him.
Let's say exactly that happened - Southern District of New York clearly has some shit they want to file against Trump. In your situation, Pence pardoning him would not save him at all.
Even if they don't try and hold trump accountable, as long as he isn't in jail, he would never stop sowing the division of the United States. Trump either ends up in jail and not allowed any form of internet, which requires Biden to win the election, or he spends the rest of his life stoking hatred and dividing America.
Good number of people on this site legit think that Biden would be so all-in on a "unity" message that he'd pardon Trump as a reach-out.
So yeah, good to hear it out loud. Let him burn on his own crosses.
Any charges that show up against Trump, his dumb-ass base is going to say they're made up. Even if they have footage of him doing it, even if he comes out and SAYS he did it, they'll say the charges are made up. So I'm not particularly inclined to care what conservatives have to say about anything. Nuclear option is the only correct response to this.
The Dems were never going to get republican support. However, prosecuting trump might loose support from moderates and independents. I would say let the state of N.Y. investigate and prosecute him. This way the WH steers clear of any controversy and, if he's convicted of anything, future republican presidents can go back and pardon him since it's a state conviction.
That would be the best case scenario is New York gets to have Trump all to themselves
Wouldnt need to get the federal government mired in the muck

Not sure why anyone thought this wouldn't be the case, Biden fucking hates Trump (the idea behind his campaign being that Republicans as a whole are not corrupt - which isn't really true - but that Trump is a specific aberration that needs to be dealt with) and any precedent of presidents pardoning their predecessors come from situations where it's their same-party VP doing it.
This is also true. To the extent that "the current president doesn't complain about previous presidents" was actually a rule, Trump has flagrantly defied it since day one. He's trying to make Obamagate a thing ffs. He's opening every door for the next Democratic AG to go to town on him and his cronies.
Okay but like, Bush and Cheney weren't charged for anything. Obama didn't pardon them.
If dems take over, they need to go to town investigating and nailing to the wall every piece of shit Republican that has been doing illegal shit the last few years.
Unfortunately, they are going to have to deal with a global pandemic, so I'm afraid this shit, even Trump, falls to the wayside.

Don't forget the economy. Democrats gotta show up and fix the shit AGAIN.
NY State will go after Trump if a Biden DoJ won't.
Personally since Trump was going after his son and falsely implicate him in the Ukraine stuff I really doubt Biden won't go after Trump.
He's just smart enough not to say it.
That's where I'm at. Biden is not my favorite candidate I'll ever vote for. I wanna be clear about that. But Donald Trump has done some real stupid shit with how he's gone after Joe Biden's family. Like, he made a real, genuine enemy where he really did not need to make one. Joe Biden is not going to intentionally rile up Trump's base by saying "I plan to put in prosecutors and federal judges who are going to push Trump's shit in from literally day one of my presidency. Buckle up, bitches.", but I'm pretty sure you can't fuck with Biden the way Trump has and expect literally nothing in the way of retaliation from him.
Has Trump been actively trying to protect himself from State prosecution? Haven't seen anything about it lately. I'm not sure how he could pull it off, but I'm sure there's some kind of cobbled-together corrupt plan underway.
Surprised this even needs to be said, but I have seen people even here claim he would.Biden: There’s No Way in Hell I’d Ever Pardon Trump as President

Biden is just saying that to win the election, I won't believe him until Trump asks for a pardon and Biden publicly declines. /s
