Donald Trump grants clemency to 143 people (not himself or family members) in final hours

What a great way for Simp Biden to start his Unity Presidency - issuing arrest warrants for President Trump, his family, his cabinet and ...
Accountability is a great way to pave the way to unity. Ignoring crimes is how we got an insurrection at our Capitol.
 
Gifts that keep on giving. :(

Donald Trump pardons: Steve Bannon, Elliott Broidy, Kwame Kilpatrick (usatoday.com)


WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly used his clemency authority as a political tool rather than an act of mercy, issued a final wave of pardons and commutations on his last night in office, delivering relief for a mix of beneficiaries that included former strategist Stephen Bannon, Republican Party and Trump fundraiser Elliott Broidy, and former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, found guilty in 2013 of corruption charges.

He granted pardons to 73 people and commuted the sentences of another 70 people, according to a news release from the White House.

Several high-profile figures received pardons, including:

  • Former Republican House member Rick Renzi of Arizona, convicted in 2013 of extortion, bribery, insurance fraud, money laundering, and racketeering. Renzi left prison in 2017.
  • Former Rep. Randall “Duke” Cunningham, R-Calif., who was released from prison in 2013 after serving eight years for charges of bribery, fraud, and tax evasion.
  • Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., the rapper known as Lil Wayne, who pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.
  • Broidy, who pleaded guilty to acting as an unregistered foreign agent and accepting money from Chinese and Malaysian interests to lobby the Trump administration.
  • Bannon, who was awaiting trial in Manhattan on federal fraud charges tied to a border wall fundraising effort.
So again the left pundits on CNN and MSNBC are wrong. The constant hate betrays their predictions that Trump would have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the White House by federal law enforcement, and that he would issue pardons for his "many crimes" on behalf of himself and his family and his attorney. NONE of that was true and they never has reason to believe it would be. It was hope on their part.
 
I'm mildly surprised he hasn't fled the country yet. I guess he relishes a good lawsuit and court scrap.

So you would fully support arrest warrants for Obama Biden, Rice Comey, McCabe, Steele, Hillary .... if it is shown they broke the law? And you would be outraged if there was any pushback from the White House?
 
Barr betrayed the one term mistake by not supporting his lies about the election. I seriously doubt he got any favors from him.
But barr supported the anus tangerinus by lying about the Mueller report.

If they did break the law yes. But that is just another of the one term mistakes projections and lies. You need to throw all those lies in the trash where they belong. Believing and propagating lies is as bad as telling them. Mr. One and done was most definitely involved in the Russian interference in the 2016 election. The bipartisan Senate report made that quite clear. We probably don't know the half of it yet because of Trump's obstruction.

Got it. So you are not concerned in the least bit about Durham's investigation in the Obama administration? It's all lies, huh? Except for maybe the FBI agent they already sent to prison. Or the criminal referrals from Horowitz. Other than that, no worries, it's all lies, right?

The Durham report is all hat and no cattle. And I am far from worried now the Trump's flunkies are all getting their walking papers. His entire Administration was one huge lie and you sucked it up like candy. You need to face that truth sometime don't you think? Even the Qanon nuts are having an awakening.

You would not know the truth if it bit you on the ass. You believe anything that makes your worldview real. It's not. The irony is that in that movie Nicholson was a liar like the one term mistake.

LOL And you believe in something called the "Durham report" And anyone that disagrees with you is a member of Qanon. Just saying.
 
no, they're more than that. but not by much.
Nah You. Your posts that don't include "Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity" are the exception. Hence - one trick pony.

Are you sure it wasn't part of their wish list in order to remove a mad man from the golf course Mara-la Go Club tv set Oval Office in hopes to preserve democracy? CNN and MSNBC aren't the only networks and news outlets that were expecting Trump to pardon himself and his kids and their in-laws/friends. Word has it that many of Trump's staffers and lawyers constantly told him what a bad idea that was. You know, admission of guilt and all of that.

that's false but, hey, you're running out of arguments. best to go with a lie.
 
Careful. We don't know what 'pocket pardons' were issued. It is rumored that bill barr walked out with one. A pocket pardon would not come to light until a charged person uses it to avoid prosecution.
I think 'pocket pardons' would be reasonably easy to challenge in court.

I'm not sure, they've been a thing for quite some time.

These people have no shame. They are as wrong as wrong can be, yet go on making these dopey predictions that are even dumber than their prior idiotic declarations.
