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.

Trump has pardoned Rudy Giuliani and other allies that worked to overturn the 2020 election.

This isn’t the first time Trump has doled out pardons to his supporters. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NflcWXdV-B0

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.

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

Since the presidential pardon power is unrestricted — or more accurately it was restrained by custom & presidential concerns about their reputation — there is no formal way to stop clemency.

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.

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.
