Was expecting to see the pardon list drop tonight, given earlier reporting.
I think any delay is NOT a good sign. The longer it takes, the more likely it contains some more controversial names. |

My expectation is that he wants to step on the inaugural festivities. But hey, he wants to start a third party, and if he’s serious, maybe Biden should pardon him.

Yeah, he's probably waffling back and forth, sulking that Biden's getting good press, sweating about what's going to happen to him and his spawn.

A few WH reporters sent out tweets saying he keeps going back and forth on whether to pardon Bannon. So that is probably the hold up. |

I know it seems alien that after 4 years of Trump's vile, self-serving attacks on everything that is right, but I think there is actually a possibility that Trump has been briefed on the very real possibility that such pardons could actually backfire on him.
Abstaining from pardoning people who have been doing his bidding and were hoping to be pardon in exchange for doing so and thus hanging them out to dry so that he could save his own ass from post-presidency consequences is totally on Trump's brand.

If Trump issues secret pardons, we wouldn't know.

Oh jeez jode . . . chill. I'm making a harmless joke to Omar about your Seth Meyers typo (I'm assuming it was a typo, because if you think Seth Meyers is a Trumpie then we have bigger problems that "whoosh").
Quit being so sensitive before you have another embarrassing meltdown where you say highly inappropriate things.

Fact Check: Can President Trump Issue Secret Pardons?
| Quote: | In a similar way, the issue of secret pardons is debated among experts.
On an earlier episode of The Last Word, O'Donnell asked former U.S. pardon attorney Margaret Colgate Love if a presidential pardon could be issued in secret.
"We have never had secret pardons and the whole idea of a pardon is that it is a public document," Love said. She mentioned that President Regan issued two pardons after the assassination attempt on his life that did not become public until two weeks later.
Love added that the requirements for pardons are loose and that Trump could verbally grant a pardon, but he would have to have witnesses present in order to prove the pardon was given.
However, others believe that pardons were meant to be publicly issued and would not hold up as valid if challenged in a court of law.
"I certainly can't say that they are clearly impermissible, but I can say that I think that there is at least a Constitutional cloud over them," Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe said.
For one thing, they would be difficult to authenticate.
"There would be no way to prove it was issued on a certain date in an official capacity," Tribe said. "If invoked at the time an indictment or prosecution is brought, that would open the possibility for a Constitutional test of whether secret pardons are permitted."
Additionally, Tribe said the nature and purpose of pardons implies a public acknowledgment of wrongdoing and forgiveness.
"They were supposed to be accompanied with either a confession of guilt or that they implied that the person who accepts the pardon is willing to publicly admit guilt," Tribe said. "And the fact that there's no indication in the discussion of the Constitution when the pardon power, which is already pretty sweeping and subject to abuse, could be hidden behind a veil of secrecy, I would argue that it's validity is up in the air."

So Trump is going to try and start a third party for he and his supporters.
I wish him much success.
Nothing would help this country more than splitting the Hard Right and the GOP while the Left maintains its majority.

And his followers in his death cult are foolish enough to take the tainted bait.
Actually, it might be time to start calling it a suicide cult.

As someone on Twitter pointed out, Biden is already president in Guam. Lucky them.

Bannon is a clever guy, probably gave Trump a pitch about starting his own party.
