I believe he should pardon Cohen and any other targets of the felonious grifter who ask for a pardon.

Blanket pardons? That is another discussion.

He took the fall for drumpf. And with drumpf not getting any prison time, Cohen should be freed of this stigma. Plus, he provided evidence against drumpf. That took courage.

iirc, this is against the law, absent some kind of offset, like a cooperation w prosecution.

I see any actions, including pardons, taken by President Biden to be roadblocks to deter any immediate retaliation against any of the people President Biden deems in need of protection from an out-of-control convicted felon. Ultimately traitor gets what he wants, but maybe some of the legal maneuvers will slow him down.

202/456-1111. The TTY/TTD number is 202/456-6213.

I'm going to give a try Monday a.m. Believe Cohen has sacrificed a lot. Obviously, he was unsuccessful (and I think he's personally a bit of a greasy rat). Still, good deeds deserve a thank you.
