The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

He also can't prosecute him if he claims Fauci's perjuring himself *today* because pardons cover activities (and Fauci would be answering about those things he was pardoned for).

That's incorrect. Pardons only cover acts that have been committed at the time the pardon was granted. You can't issue a pardon for future acts. The fact that the subject of Fauci's testimony relates to past activities for which he was pardoned would not give him any immunity against prosecution for a present perjury.

The existence of the prior pardon would not protect Fauci against being the subject of a perjury charge for testimony given after the pardon was issued.

Which, again, is why you and your interlocutors are talking past each other.
