Mark Klugman

Hi, Steve. My name is Mark Klugman. I was one of President Reagan's speechwriters. What you went through was where they're changing the rules on executive privilege. Now, on the question of the Biden pardons, there is a legal argument that a pardon only takes effect when there's been an offense. That's what it says in the Constitution. There is no offense until there's a conviction.

Therefore, there's the argument that a pardon will prevent you from being punished, but it doesn't prevent you from being indicted. It doesn't prevent you from standing trial. How do you see that?
