NYT: Giuliani Discussed ‘Pre-emptive Pardon’ With Trump | Talking Points Memo

[epicurus]

@hardyweinberg

Disbar the motherfucker

That goes double for DiGenova. Oh, and by the way, The Vulgar Talking Yam can’t pardon state offenses. Bye, Rudy.

You’ll know you’re a real “nobody” in DC if you’re not included in the upcoming Trump “Pardonmania”.

@garrybee

The crazy thing is, we already know he’s a crook, they all are, but the Trumpians have laid out over 150 million $$$ thus far and its landing into a PAC to defend Rumpians and disrupt Biden’s efforts.

Nah, that money isn’t going to any effort to hurt Biden. It’s going in their pockets, to lawyers, but not a dollar will be used to help Republicans going forward because they don’t give a shit about the party, they really don’t even care about disrupting Biden. The Republican Party does, they’d love to get their hands on that money, but that money will be the Trump family personal slush fund.

Gives new meaning to the words “I beg your pardon”.

@bitinginsect

Is it true that accepting a pardon is equivalent to admitting guilt?

No, it is not true.

For example, innocent people can accept pardons. Doing so does not make them guilty.

[josephebacon]

Even Orly Taitz is getting back in the game for Trump.

Disbar every last one of these assholes!

[trustywoods]

So Rudy is having second thoughts about hanging around with a Russian spy and passing Russian propaganda?

[agnesbee]

Serious question: during the discussion, how vigorously was he tucking in his shirt?

[occamscoin]

Rudy Giuliani has discussed a potential carte blanche of a pardon with his client, President Trump

Probably took 10 minutes for morBotus to understand ghoulsie was talking about a pardon for ghoulsie, not the orange one.

[dominic]

See? The Constitution – like SCOTUS and the EPA, for example – is a bit of a joke. There is so much fundamentally wrong with it.

@jouzu

How does that even work? I pardon Mr. Giuliani for all crimes he may ever be accused of?

Nah, he just needs a pardon for the Borat appearance.

@thebigragu

As Sean Hannity said pardons are necessary to protect the pardoned from “witch hunts”. Expect a boatload of them to follow.

Plenary self-indulgence.

[26degreesrising]

Haven’t heard that one mentioned in a long time.

[thebigragu]

Ironically with pardons pending. last minute executive actions and appointments, Trump has likely never been more busy than he has in the last 4 years.
NB by “busy” I mean cutting into his TV watching time and golf.

[brewhousebob]

Trump don’t lift a finger unless there’s something in it for him.

[grack]

Would it be uncouth to suggest that Presidents only get, I don’t know, five pardons?

[jinnj]

In addition to proclaiming his own innocence,
Giuliani has also steadfastly maintained that

• President Trump actually won the election last month.
• Elvis is still alive
• The toothfairy put a curse on Rudy’s lower teeth

You may also want to set the price, either wholesale or retail.

[thebigragu]

What would be uncouth is Trump charging cash payments for the pardons. At the very least you’ll be giving up your soul to Trump if you accept one.
