US President Donald Trump granted pardons early this month (Washington time) to 77 people involved in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which was clearly won by Joe Biden, but Trump never conceded.
Please follow me without doing it. The most high-profile pardon is that of Rudy Giuliani, the New York privileged and former Trump lawyer. He said Ed Martin, the avocado of Casablanca who is in charge of pardons, announced it on the X show. On his personal account on this social network, Martin defined himself, among other things, as “initiating the political persecution of Trump” and posted a four-page document that is “a declaration ending in the gross national injustice perpetrated against the American people after the 2020 election.” He also defined it as “a further step in the process of national reconciliation.”
The document, signed by the President of the United States last month, continues: “Hello, Donald J. Trump, I hereby grant a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to all United States citizens for any acts related to consulting, preparing, organizing, executing, announcing, supporting, voting for, operating, or advocating for the Presidential Electoral List in connection with the 2020 Presidential Election.”
This is a symbolic pardon, meaning the president does not have the authority to pardon any of the people targeted because they have not been charged with a federal crime. To break the news, Martin responded to a message from X that read: “We will not give up on anyone’s MAGA (make america great againthe Trumpist motto).
In addition to Giuliani, whose former ally has promised him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civil honor, the list also includes Sidney Powell, the lawyer who was behind Trump’s big lie in the weeks leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and his election losses to John Eastman, Kenneth Chesborough, and Mark, the president’s then-chief of staff. Meadow.
This gesture, which has no legal implications, is worth interpreting as a new expression of President Trump’s accounting adjustment policy upon his return to the White House. On its first day, Oval Despacho pardoned about 1,600 prisoners charged with crimes related to the Capitol attack. Since then, he has asked for forgiveness from collaborators, friends and loved ones in the MAGA world.
The pardon granted to him this month is also part of President Trump’s efforts to contradict the conclusions of a House committee formed by Democrats and Republicans that spent 18 months in 2021 and 2022 investigating what happened on Jan. 6, the day a mob of Republican supporters attacked him. Capitol Hill tried to block the certification of the electoral votes cast by Biden, thereby giving him the presidency.
