Conditionally Speaking

and pondering the pardon predicament:

full-blown pardons hint of committed crimes

and pre-emptive pardons are too iffy, frowned upon and perilous.

Sooo, why not consider the conditional pardon?

Simultaneously spread the pain and the relief by pardoning DOTUS-elect of all crimes charged (and maybe more to sweeten the pot) conditioned on him and his minions not following through on their promised revenge and retribution during the entire length of his term in office.

They’re Making a List

of the naughty with spice. Gonna find out who’ll pay his price. Gropey Paws is coming to town.

But look who’s checking it twice (hopefully), the U.S. Senate with help from the Media, FBI and Santa himself.

They see you when you’re slipping. They know you’re on the take. So you better be good for now for DOTUS’ sake.
