Trump Pardons Rudy Giuliani and Others Involved in Effort to Overturn 2020 Election

The pardons of former Trump aides, which would only apply in federal court, are largely symbolic and cannot shield them from continuing state-level prosecutions.

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

By preemptively pardoning them, he tells the people who are now and in the future called upon to perform illegal acts for him that he has their back. This is not about Giuliani & Co, this is about the thousands of current and future ICE agents, the soldiers who execute people in the Caribbean, etc.

“.. demonstrates how Mr. Trump’s handling of pardons and commutations has allowed some convicts to return to criminality.”

News coverage of this has focused on the pardon of those involved in the fake electors plot.

But the pardon also extends to key figures who participated in the unauthorized breach of voting systems in Coffee County, Georgia

Rule of people, not of law.

We need to understand that and act accordingly.

Trump's pardon of allies who helped him try to subvert the 2020 election is important. It's a permission slip--no, it's an encouragement, even an order--to allies to be ready to try to subvert the elections in 2026, and 2028.

None of those named faced federal charges, and presidents can't pardon state crimes.

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Ed Martin seemed to explicitly link the pardons to his “No MAGA left behind” mantra—tweeting the news in reply to a post that said exactly that.

In addition to his role as pardon attorney, Martin leads the Weaponization Working Group, which probes alleged “politicization” of the Justice Department.
