1. One negative about the prosecution occurring in Georgia....

Since they are investigating if TFG broke State law, Kemp could pardon the orange slobfather.

2. Oh, that would really suck.

Hard to believe he'd do that with the entire nation watching Georgia, but then I remember what he did himself during the governor's race.

3. Not sure the governor has that power...

If I'm reading this correctly, it would be the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles that would have to issue the pardon. Of course, members of the board are appointed by the governor. Not sure how many current members are Kemp appointees.

Wiki: Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles:

Georgia is one of the three states whose governor does not have the authority to grant clemency, although he retains indirect influence by virtue of his power to appoint Board members.
