Chuck and Karen unravel the history of presidential pardons and discuss many of America’s most controversial pardons. They also unpack what it means for the current (for now) President. They amuse themselves way too much and probably offend everyone. They also ramble a bit. (Disclaimer, neither are attorneys, so our words should not be construed as legal advice)
