In reply to the discussion: So this morning the rapist said that he can pardon [View all]Ocelot II
(126,487 posts)7. That would stir up a big ol' shitstorm.
Of course, once Maxwell is pardoned she can say whatever she wants, since AFAIK pardons can't be undone, and she's dumber than I think she is (she may be evil but I don't think she's stupid) if she talks before she has that pardon in hand. But she is not known for her truthfulness in the first place, and whatever she says in exchange for a pardon will be highly suspect, to say the least. Of course perjury charges can also be pardoned, but that would make the whole business even stinkier.

It would have definitely made the papers if she died from anything less than natural causes.

A pardoned person loses their fifth amendment rights, but there are loopholes if also subject to state prosecution.

She won't need a pardon when she's dead, he's just talking out of both assholes. As usual.
