As long as they can still pardon the turkey.
Pardon him for what? What is the charge here? Being a meal? Being a succulent Chinese meal?
Are there any longer or more generic than this: > For any nonviolent offenses against the United States which they may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1 2014 through the date of this pardon ( JAN 19, 2025 ). https://pardonned.com/pardon/details/biden-family/ That’s 11+ years with no detail or description.
