If they can elect a felon to the white house, so could we.
The real question is why hasn’t Biden pardoned Luigi but he did pardon the child slavery guy
You know why. Biden, like all presidents, doesn’t care about the actual heroes (Snowden, Manning, Luigi) and cares about people would make heroes required.
Eli Manning is a true hero 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Are you for real? He’s the leader of the Justice Department that charged Luigi with terrorism in the first place.
FTR the president, who leads the executive branch of government, doesn’t lead the justice department, which is in the judicial branch, and until Trump 2016 that separation was almost always respected.

Technically, sure, but the DOJ is overseen by the AG, who is appointed by the President. That ‘balance’ created in 1870 is not well checked by our system.
You’re moving the goal posts. You said the president lead the justice department, which is false.
I agreed that you’re technically correct. Just like POTUS technically has no authority over SCOTUS, but some presidents get to appoint more justices than others.
You’re saying there’s a system. I’m agreeing and saying the system is flawed.
Can you pardon someone who hasn’t been found guilty yet?
the president can in fact pardon someone before they are convicted of a crime! Nixon famously pardoned by Ford
as someone who has no idea what luigi u are talking about, i will just leave this here
"here i go!"
