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.

2. Trump pardoned dozens of individuals today who tried to overturn the 2020 election. A healthy democracy calls attempts to overturn the democratic process what they are: Treason. This should raise concerns even higher about this administration's commitment to democratic processes in 2028 / 2029.

Trump pardons Giuliani and other allies who worked to overturn his 2020 election loss

The federal pardon, which is largely symbolic, covers the so-called fake electors, some of whom still face state charges.

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.

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.

Trump grants preventive presidential pardons to 77 people linked to his bid to overturn the 2020 election

Donald Trump has preemptively granted presidential pardons to 77 people connected to the effort to overturn the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden. Among those pardoned is Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor and a key Trump ally who led the efforts, along with former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and dozens of others who argued publicly that the election had been stolen from him. The pardons are largely symbolic since none face federal charges; they reflect the reward-and-punishment approach Trump has used since returning to the White House.

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

While people are going without food, Trump is busy pardoning people who tried to overthrow democracy.

"Trump's move is largely symbolic, however, since pardons only apply to federal crimes and all of the recipients were charged by state-level prosecutors only."
