White House attorneys are reportedly considering the possibility of a mass pardon as midterms approach.<\/p>\n

According to an article by\u00a0The Washington Sun<\/em><\/a>, President Donald Trump\u2019s administration is considering Biden-style pre-emptive pardons of junior staffers to protect them in the event of future prosecution.<\/p>\n

\u201cA pardon for all junior administration personnel is viewed as unlikely, one source said, but the president could issue blanket pardons for all employees involved in particular policy areas, such as deportations, war or trade. Trump has previously said he would be interested in pardoning some administration officials, but the discussions happening now would apply to a far greater number of White House staff than has been previously reported,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

This comes amid comments from Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Michigan, who implied that tying the administration up in legal battles would deter young people from \u201cparticipating in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanna look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president but on the people who enabled him,\u201d she said while speaking at a University of Chicago event. \u201cI want young people coming out of school to say, \u2018Should I go work for the Trump administration?\u2019 \u2026 I want them to be like, \u2018Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don\u2019t want. And so let me avoid participating in that.\u2019 I want that deterrence message sent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udea8\" JUST IN: Trump White House lawyers are reportedly evaluating preemptive PARDONS to shield YOUNG and lower-level Trump staffers from Democrat lawfare, per The Washington Sun<\/p>\n

GREAT. Deep State Sen. Elissa Slotkin OPENLY THREATENED them with persecution, to intimidate them out of participation<\/p>\n

PARDON AWAY, MR. PRESIDENT! \"\ud83d\udd25\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause these people are lunatics on the left \u2014 I don\u2019t want to see people that work for me go through years of nonsense, hire lawyers and everything else, all for nothing,\u201d Trump recently said<\/p>\n

47 also said he\u2019d even protect people like NICK SHIRLEY and ELON MUSK from weaponization, people who are not even his staffers<\/p>\n

Joe Biden handed out preemptive pardons to Fauci, Milley, and his own family on the way out the door \u2014 protecting young staffers from a Democrat revenge tour is a NO-BRAINER!<\/p>\n

Article III Project President Mike Davis told\u00a0The Sun<\/em> that such comments indicate that a mass pardon may be a good idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter listening to Elissa Slotkin threatening to go after young people who joined the Trump administration, President Trump should issue very broad preemptive pardons for anyone who worked for him or in his orbit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This is Senator Brian Schatz this week.<\/p>\n

When Democrats say they are going to prosecute and go after junior Trump staffers, we should believe them. https:\/\/t.co\/WRNApRvVq6<\/p>\n
