      Doesn’t there have to be a conviction for a pardon to be possible? Ain’t no way this trial is finishing in time for Biden to do anything. But also what the other commenter said about Biden loving CEOs…

        Biden pardoned his son for any offense committed since 2014 or something like that to protect him from further charges.

        if he can do that he can pardon Luigi Mangione for any federal offences he allegedly committed between December 3rd and December 5th 2024.

        It won’t protect him from state charges though (which are currently the only charges)

        Mangiones best hope of walking free is jury nullification
