Whoa that’s wild. Thanks for the information. I’ll have to read up on the five members of the paroles and pardons board. I guess it’s a good thing Willis engaged in such shenanigans that the case against Trump is likely doomed.
This was interesting from your link:
“While the state board offers limited exceptions to the five-year waiting period, mainly for people who can demonstrate the need for a pardon for immigration or employment purposes.”
I’d say getting hired as the POTUS would constitute “employment purposes.” So there is still a possibility of a pardon before Trump leaves office should he be both elected and convicted. Like I said, I’ll have to read up on the board members. Thanks for the information!
Republicans still control the state legislature in Georgia, so if Trump is somehow convicted, I think the simplest remedy would be for the Georgia legislature to expand the governor’s pardon power. Of course, the dems would scream bloody murder, but frak ‘em.
