However, out of respect to the office, he probably would not attend an execution.

If you're stupid enough to be a a MAGAt (and don't forget--millions are), then if you put this into their minds, they automatically make the jump from "did Obama do something wrong?" to "will he get away with what he did wrong?"

It doesn't MATTER that it's Foxese bullshit. It's like Tara Reade "came forward" with her stories of harassment. It suddenly doesn't matter that she's lying. Suddenly it's on Biden's head to apologize first and ask LATER "who the hell is she and what am I supposed to have done to her?" Same with their phony allegations about Obama. He did something? What? These are questions the Republicans do NOT want people asking. They want their base to ask if Obama might get out of jail time with a pardon from a magnanimous Trump. Don't ask "for having done WHAT?" because the answer is "well, nothing, but what does THAT have to do with anything?"

If the question is raised about whether or not you need a pardon, then you MUST have done something to warrant soliciting a pardon. Right? Because if you didn't do anything wrong, then you don't NEED a pardon. If Foxsuckers hear that Obama might need a pardon, then it's for SOMETHING. The fact that Republican strategists made the whole thing up is no longer relevant. No one needs a pardon if they did nothing, so Obama DID something. Just don't ask them what, because they have no earthly clue what that might be.
