(94,727 posts)President Donald Trump has taken the pardon process away from the Justice Department and given more direct control to son-in-law Jared Kushner and former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi.
The president granted clemency Tuesday to a group of 11 political allies, Fox News regulars and others, and he has put together an informal task force overseen by Kushner to recommend and vet new candidates, reported the Washington Post.

(33,643 posts)So as to make sure that he at least spends SOME time in the can instead of being pardoned and walking free.
I guessed one year. Today I'll say ... maaaaaybe 2 or 2.5. But I'm still betting 1 year.
Let's see what happens.

How that comes about, I don't know. We all know Trump wants more than a pardon out of this. He wants a power play and a power grab.
