minus-squarePugJesuslinkfedilink76•11 months agotbf accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt, so I feel like Nixon should at least have a little bit of a bar there.
minus-squarePugJesuslinkfedilink21•11 months agoIf you weren’t charged, but make a legally binding admission of guilt, have you committed a felony? I feel like this is like, something they teach in some extra credit course at law school lmao
minus-square@samus12345linkEnglish29•11 months agoIt says “charged,” not “committed.” Every president has probably committed felonies.
