It is sooooo hard to find good criminals these days. I blame the Democrats, and how they’ve worked to destroy REAL AMERICA, of course.
Didn’t need to be a blanket pardon, here there was a very specific earlier one he could have gotten. Oops.
And justice Alito shook his head at the state of the union after the Citizens United decision intoning that this type of thing would never occur.
Which one is he getting pardoned for?
The ‘dum-dum’ likely had other indictments waiting on him.
He got pardoned for a different crime, trump missed this one in the opportunity bin.
To complete the circle, I’m going with Oleg Deripaska, Dmitro Firtash, or Mariia Butina’s handler.
‘smeg’ didn’t know about this indictment.
The Gaetz argument basically is: are blanket pardons legal?
Though we know that answer, there’s another development that could have shot Trump into the rabbit hole.
Wow…the GQP is one big incestuous relationship:
D.C. federal prosecutors allege that Jesse Benton, who was campaign manager for Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)’s 2014 re-election run, conspired on the scheme with Doug Wead, a conservative author who once co-wrote a book with former President George H.W. Bush and who helps manage a multi-level marketing firm in Russia.
You weren’t expecting them to be doing out of love for Trump or the Russians, did you?
A presidential candidate taking $$ from the Russians is very, very serious. It’s treasonous – certainly in any colloquial sense.
Don’t think it will cost him one vote among his adoring “base”.
He really could murder someone in Times Sq. It ain’t hyperbole. It’s fact.
I’m hoping this is indictable.
To be fair with Trump, it was impossible to keep track of all the crimes his lackeys were committing, he could not even keep track of the ones he and his spawns own crimes.
You can bet your bottom dollar they were tracking who paid up for a pardon and who had not.
RIP Harvey Korman.
The sad thing is, if these two had fleeced some 'merican country bumpkin bidnessman by charging $100k to set up a $25k grip and grin photo op, it wouldn’t have been a crime.
Only sad thing I’m feeling is that I don’t have the connections to run things like this…
So very strange to be in a world where Sekulow is “the good lawyer” (by comparison).
So, um, since he’s been pardoned for his prior election crime (buying votes in Iowa), at sentencing for the current election crime, is he considered a repeat offender?
Also, it’s very clear: pardons lead to recidivism.
This one’s got to have FoxNewsers conflicted.
On the one hand, they’re violent anti-vaxxers (YAY!)
On the other hand, they’re black. (BOO!!!)
