From what I understand from reading this board

And if they lie and are convicted Trump could presumably pardon them again. I suspect even the Repukes wouldn't put with that though.

A pardon is a tricky thing. If pardoned, the pardoned person can still be called to testify, and at that point after being pardoned, their right to claim the 5th does not exist.

once a person has accepted a pardon they no longer can assert their 5th Amendment right to remain silent, and they'd have to testify if called to a grand jury or subpoenaed in some other proceeding.

I never understand why the pardon power is so confusing?

sorry if my ignorance invited your irritation. Not confused, just uneducated.

He's going to pardon everyone, and it may hurt the GOP electorally in some "purple" states but they'll survive.

Christ, the GOP was the party of endless war 10 years ago and is now the most isolationist political party on earth.

They'll adapt and still win Wyoming.

It’s no wonder he and those around him are so smug.
