Quoting Trump from few years ago, “You saw the Mob takes the Fifth. If you’re innocent then why take the Fifth?”
Parallel to that is the pardoning of all his family, and himself.
Why? The philosophy above suggests that only guilty people take the Fifth.
So if not currently been convicted or pleaded guilty; why accept a pardon if you have not done anything wrong?
This doesn’t follow any logic this commander in chief has stated beforehand.
His own words make one look guilty if a family member receives a pardon.

There is an old saying that states, “Everyone gets what they deserve.”
And so time will tell us if Trump, family & associates get what they deserve.
