Trump administration 2024-2028

Trump has issued a sweeping pardon to Giuliani, Meadows, Powell, Chesebro et al for their roles in the 2020 “fake electors” scheme to overturn the presidential election.

This pardon only has effect for federal prosecution, and none of them have been charged federally. If the derailed state prosecution in Georgia ever gets back on track this would have no impact, nor does it affect the convictions of those who already pled guilty there.

Doesn't a pardon also imply they did something illegal?

I thought a lot of those lawyers had been disbarred, but was for things like false claims, massive lies and other issues that were in at least some cases, libel, but nothing straight up illegal on the federal level (because the weird way they run their elections)

Depends who you ask, and in some cases when you asked them.

A number of the involved lawyers have been disbarred, yes. Some have also been criminally convicted at state level.
 

In honour of remembrance day.



Everything was set for the Navy officer to take over a new role that would have capped an already distinguished career— and made her the first woman in a Naval Special Warfare command overseeing Navy SEALs.

Ranked the top officer for promotion in her cohort, she received a Purple Heart after being injured in an IED attack during a combat tour in Iraq. She then became the first woman to serve with SEAL Team Six in the role of troop commander, one of several senior positions within the squadrons that make up the elite naval unit.

A formal ceremony marking her new position was planned for July. Invitations went out two months in advance.


But just two weeks before the ceremony, her command was abruptly canceled with little explanation, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation. The decision didn’t come through formal channels but by a series of phone calls from the Pentagon, one of the sources said. The circumstances were unusual and seemed designed to omit a paper trail, according to multiple sources.

Under the Navy’s “up or out” policy, with no command slot to take, the officer’s more than two-decade military career was effectively over.

As the news spread through the tightknit world of Naval Special Warfare, a consensus began to form: The command was likely yanked by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth because of the officer’s gender.

The command she was set to take over is closely aligned with recruiting for elite operations roles, including the Navy SEALs — and the impression those in the Naval Special Warfare community got from the Pentagon was that Hegseth did not want a woman fronting that role
