“If a president were to issue pardons in order to block an investigation […], that would constitute obstruction of justice.”
Reminder, this is the conversation that was being had in 2018. Seems pretty clear to me that going back to 2014 is obstruction of justice. Of course, this is totally different, right?

Have you no empathy? He was an addict!
Raking in millions for the Biden Crime Family and getting plum jobs in industries that he knew nothing about should be forgiven.
C’mon, man!
"Nobody normally gets prosecuted for not paying 1.4M in taxes...but he is a Biden".
shitlibs.
That's conor's position. Pretty embarrassing for him.

Same time of 4 years ago MSM wildly accused Trump of "preemptive pardon on his kids" which is proven
a fake news. Trump didnt issue a pardon on his kid. You will find out that most arguments they used then against Trump, just like the one you pointed out obstruction of justice, are absent today against Biden.

Aren’t pardons official acts, doofus? Would he not have immunity under that lame SCOTUS decision?

Now imagine Trump did it.
The pardon power is pretty much absolute, as I understand it. Whether it is obstruction of justice or not, it is nonetheless allowed by the Constitution. But, we are also allowed to criticize it...as no doubt people who are defending Biden now will soon be criticizing Trump.
He has. Pardoned Stone, Bannon, Manafort , Flynn from his 2016 criminal enterprise campaign.
Biden is a piker compared to him. And it is gonna get much much worse.
My comment is directed at the moron thread starter claiming it could be a crime.
Dems were all along what they accused their enemies of being. Rule #1.
