Can The President Issue A Pardon To Someone Without A Conviction?

 Simple answer....yes.

However, in this wording, he has to say something about the anticipated crime that a investigation would be about. For example....the pardon might not cover bribes in the time period, or tax issues.

If he fails to cover 100-percent of the crime?  Then the pardon has limited to zero value.

On top of this problem with Biden....if you come  out later to  find that Biden's mental capacity was a problem....then the pardon is of zero value.

So after 20 January....I anticipate some state AGs....will be going to court, and President Trump will nullify all  of the pardons and executive orders....leaving a massive court mess for the Supreme Court to spend five years....cleaning up.

Califoria Real Estate Rumors

 I sat and read over a LA real estate story.....some real estate folks are talking to Governor Newsom.  What they desire?  As rebuilding comes up....they want chunks of the neighborhoods which are designated as single-family homes....changed over to multi-family 'homes' (meaning apartments/condos).  Newsom.....says little about this idea so far.

Some belief that new Californians (migrants)....that would be moving in?  Maybe.

But I sat pondering this.....two issues.

First, building permits are a mess even before the fire, and it'll triple-up after the fire.

Second, insurance companies aren't likely to cover these regions ever again....so even if you get permits to build....what bank would sign on if the insurance situation isn't stable?

Maybe there are idiot real estate people in this game....thinking things will come out positive.  

But once you sit and start talking about the Costal Commission, the building-permit folks, the banks to arrange mortgages, and the insurance lacking?  It's a joke.
