Nobody is talking about this shit on the democratic side now that they know they have secured the election, the republicans appear to be digging their own graves in Georgia. Trump pardoning his family and cronies before new voter registration even closes in Georgia, must be making Mitch freak out as much as the shit Trump and Stone are stirring up in Georgia. The democrats don't want the base excited, they don't want to cause them to draw together under assaults by a common enemy. There will be lot's of time to address Trump's pardons, if you win the senate they can hold hearings on them, call the clowns to the witness stand and publicly clean them out or let them lie and bust them.
None of the real pros are overly concerned about pardons, sure some might get away with federal crimes, but to the intelligence community it is more important to get all the details. If the Trump family is pardoned, they still have to file income taxes this spring and that might be problematic from a legal perspective. Trump cannot pardon himself and the crimes covered go no further than the date on the pardon, he cannot pardon for future crimes. For federal income tax the statue of limitations won't apply to Trump for decades of returns, if he continuously committed tax fraud until recent years, it opens up the past too. Donald alone would be left holding the bag for a lot of things, everybody else got a pardon and Trump will be the sucker holding the bad for them.
The soft talk coming from the democratic side is to keep Donald from freaking, even talk of a pardon etc, might moderate his behavior. It will also help to keep those Trump voters home who might not show up if Trump is not on the ballot, he has a cult. It will be interesting to see what he does this weekend when he goes to Georgia for a couple of rallies. I'm betting Trump will make it worse and bitch and whine about his election, not theirs. When Donald gets in front of a crowd after this absence and emotional need, I expect his impulses will overwhelm any plans Mitch might have had for him to help win Georgia. If Donald plays ball, it must mean Mitch promised him something big and Donald bought it, Donald and his cult attacking Georgia election officials and having them speak out forcefully, must be causing them some distress.
