I do believe these people need therapists.
They have announced that their intent is to jail Trump's children without any underlying crimes? Who has done that? When?
Why is this bad?
Yes, why would getting government money and having no or hardly any people that you need to pay be bad, especially when it comes to Kushner and Trump. Can't figure it out.
I had the same question. Rachel Maddow addressed this on her show last night. Apparently, there are some questions about the legalities of this, and it has to be done carefully. In summary, the lawyers would have to be involved, because if it wasn't done properly, all of those said pardoned people who have not been charged with any crime could still be charged and convicted. It's all really complicated. Nothing is ever simple with this bunch.
Rachel mentioned this on her show also in the same segment that she was discussing Trump pardoning his kids and Giuliani. She was speaking with a reporter from the WP (Michael I'm sorry I can't remember his last name). One of Rachel's questions was why Giuliani hasn't been brought up on charges now, or further, why he wasn't brought up on charges before the election. The response was, with Trump screaming about voter fraud and conspiracies and how the election was stolen from him, the last thing that SUNY wants to do now is to play into those theories by indicting the lawyer of the candidate. Summarily speaking. So any charges that would be brought against Giuliani or his kids would not occur until after Trump was no longer in office.They have announced that their intent is to jail Trump's children without any underlying crimes?

As far as crimes are concerned, Giuliani is still under investigation: https://www.vox.com/2019/11/26/20982629/rudy-giuliani-investigation-sdny-ukraine
The payments to Ivanka Trump are under investigation: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-york-investigating-trump-tax-write-offs-ivanka/

As the NYT article stated, we're not aware of any (federal) crimes committed by his children. They might get swept up in the Trump organization or there might be more to the Mueller report. But since I'm not aware of any Democrat calling for anyone of Trump's family to be jailed without an investigation of a crime and evidence and/or a reference to a crime, I'm not going to spend a lot of time looking for links that deal with potential legal troubles for them.
You can try as hard as you want but fact is, Trump called for his political opponents to be jailed because they were his opponents and nothing else and no Democrat has done the same. Trump, his family and the people in his orbit are under investigation for actual crimes and those investigations are not done because they are anyone's opponent. They are done because there are reasons to suspect crimes.
Would these investigations have happened without Trump being President? I have no idea. I like to believe that the law would have caught up with him eventually. But even if not, these investigations aren't happening because he's President or was a horrible President or a Republican, they're happening because he's drawn attention to himself and those possible crimes by running for President. Too bad.
Its my understanding that Andrew Johnson pardoned all confederate soldiers (who i assume weren't charged with a crime) and Jimmy Carter pardoned all Draft Dodgers (again i assumed hadn't been charged with a crime)?
Lincoln started the pardon process. He didn’t want to be in never ending conflict with confederates. Unlike most politicians today who want to restart the punishments for some reason!

There are moments when it gets to me how disrespectful some people are of nature and this is one of them. I guess, if I look at the YKW numbers and how close the election was in Wisconsin, I probably shouldn't be surprised. Still.
US troops being everywhere with no end date and becoming permanent occupying forces is the real gift to terrorists.
