Oh, Really? Politico Reports January 6 Defendants Who Accept Pardons Will Make 'Confession of Guilt'

AngieArtist

As we get closer to the inauguration, and Donald Trump has said he plans on pardoning the January 6 defendants, this is an interesting development from the DOJ.

More from Politico:

The Justice Department sent a message Wednesday to Jan. 6 defendants: Accepting a pardon from Donald Trump is 'a confession of guilt' for your crimes.

'[A] pardon at some unspecified date in the future ... would not unring the bell of conviction,' federal prosecutors argued in a Jan. 6 case before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols. 'In fact, quite the opposite. The defendant would first have to accept the pardon, which necessitates a confession of guilt.'

Did Hunter Biden make a 'confession of guilt' when he accepted a ten-year blanket pardon from his daddy?

If not, this is garbage.

You have a way with words.

Exactly. It doesn't work this way.

No, no. That's (D)ifferent.

Totally fair.

Not.

Probably not.

It's not.

It's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation: don't accept the pardon and you're guilty. Accept the pardon and you're also guilty.

Some people are special.

Oh, we hope this happens.

By the DOJ's logic, it means they're guilty. Guilty, guilty, guilty.

The fact they're trying to put conditions on pardons for Jan 6 defendants shows exactly why they need to be pardoned: this is a two-tier justice system. Donald Trump and his administration need to make this reasoning very clear when they issue the pardons.
