... so, no he couldn't do that. Pardons are only given to someone who's been charged with a crime and in most cases, convicted of the crime. These insurrectionists (and most of them knew they were breaking the law) weren't charged with anything while Chump was still in office. Therefore Chump couldn't pardon them. As for the legislators who participated in the "Big Lie" and who tried to prevent the confirmation of Biden on Jan. 6th - well, that's what this hearing is all about. What did they do and how bad was it?
Jared Kushner used his relationship with Chump to make a private deal with MBS and other wealthy Arabs for the $2 billion loan. It's a business deal, having nothing to do with the US government. Yes that's a blatant abuse of power and it should be investigated separately from the insurrection/coup attempt. Ivanka and Jared are both obviously guilty of major corruption, but they'll probably say they weren't working for the US government, they were "volunteers" or some such bullshit. As far as we know, neither Ivanka nor Jared participated in the insurrection - they had already left the White House and were planning a move to Florida.
