Trump just pardoned Rudy Giuliani and a host of others who weren't actually convicted of or facing charges for any federal crimes. Probably just performative, but it does makes me wonder what crimes he knows they committed that haven't come to light yet.
Recently I got to talk to a #Democratic Party leader.
I used the moment to talk about how the #InternationalCriminalCourt can be invited to take jurisdiction within U.S. borders, to investigate and prosecute crimes against humanity. Ukraine, which like the U.S. did not sign the #RomeStatute (the treating creating the #ICC), has done this to allow the ICC to investigate Russian war crimes in Ukraine.
I let them know this is the minimum I expect from a 2028 Democratic presidential candidate.

Every Trump #pardon is another reason to bring in the #InternationalCriminalCourt in the next administration. Because his pardons are meaningless at the Hague.
