November Surprises
Former FBI Director James Comey told the BBC that President Trump “belongs in jail” but President-elect Biden should consider pardoning him instead.
Said Comey: “I don’t know, he should at least consider it. Donald Trump, he’s not a genius, but he might figure out that if he accepts a pardon, that’s an admission of guilt, the United States Supreme Court has said, so I don’t know that he would accept a pardon.”
