Doesn't a pardon also imply they did something illegal?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.
Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and over 75 others involved in fake elector scheme
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s disbarred and disgraced former attorney, joins other Trumpworld loyalists in receiving an unconditional pardonwww.independent.co.uk
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)
