How Could Trump Abuse The Pardon Power? Here's How . . . - Glenn Kirschner

[Rhiannon12866]

Constitutional scholar and law professor Kim Wehle has authored a timely and compelling new book, "Pardon Power: How The Pardon System Works - And Why." Kim is also a former federal prosecutor and an ABC News legal analyst who brings a wealth of experience to this deeply-researched and authoritative new work. Best of all, Pardon Power reads like a crime thriller, as well as an instruction manual for how we can prevent future criminal presidents from using the pardon power to destroy American democracy.

The Supreme Court has tried to give Donald Trump cover for his democracy-busting ways by ruling that American presidents can commit any and all crimes against the American people as long as the crimes involve the president's "core constitutional functions" or "official presidential duties."

This sets up the very real possibility (as Justice Sotomayor warned), that a criminal president like Trump could use and abuse the pardon power to get away with his crimes as well as to protect his criminal associates from crimes he directed them to commit. - Glenn Kirschner - 09/04/2024.
