Let's say, for example, that the pardons keep the criminals out of prison... Won't it still come to a point where they wont be able to walk down the street? If we learn, let's say, that one of them is guilty for crimes against humanity, but the pardon keeps them out of prison... Aren't they still known for being guilty?
I feel like the people won't accept the excuse of a blanket pardon keeping them out of the grasp of justice. Granted, the pardons may have not been legitimate, but if they stick... Will it make that big of a difference to the people once they know how bad things are?
I admit, I'm not too familliar with the pardon system, so please excuse my ignorance. This was just a thought I had, and I'm curious as to your take on it.
If all that matters to the Q Team comes out, these "pardoned" PoS will not be able to walk the streets and their reputations/legacies will be forever tarnished. No, not tarnished, blackened beyond all repair.
