Discussion: LePage Pardoned At Least Two People Without Hearings In Last Days In Office

I take it D-money, Shifty and Smoothie were not on the list for the consideration of a pardon or commutation.

Pierce had convictions for drug possession and felony drug trafficking dating back to 1981 and 1983. Mills was convicted of operating under the influence in 2012 and driving with a suspended or revoked license in 2003.

Great. Putting drug dealers and drunk drivers back on the Maine roads.
Hide your children!

Boy, let’s hope that Trump doesn’t send any crime-committing illegal immigrants to Maine when it is a bastion of fine, upstanding people like Le Page just pardoned.
You mean he didn’t pardon Susan Collins for committing false concern and bad application of make-up?

This is a prime example of how Trump’s ruinous effects on government will long outlast his Presidency. Republicans now see there are minimal true guardrails in government, and they’ll exploit that to no end. Especially with Trump appointed judges ready to backstop them.

Anyone that receives a pardon (from any level of government) should be required to live in the same house with the pardoner for one year.

Did they have to do elocution to their crimes?

Allocution.

Because he could.

You’re correct. My error.

Lol! Who would have guessed he would be a dirty rotten scoundrel until the last possible day!?

It’s OK, just me being anal again.

Truly, it’s good.
