Hello! I was scrolling along until I saw an article about a Pardon in Texas. In the comment section people talked about how pardons are even still a thing and one User pointed out that they are totally easy to abuse. Like why can’t a governor hire a hitman to kill his political Opponents and then just pardon him? Would this be possible? Can a governor or let’s say the president just straight up do that?

Thank you all in advance!

    I don’t really Biden doing that, he’s certainly had no problem calling out his supporters thus far. What we really have to worry about is the Georgia case getting a bad judge

    Though I could be completely wrong, of course.
