The January 6ther’s are violent convicted criminals. There are many pictures and videos of their crimes. Of course, it is just a matter of time before Trump pardons his Brownshirts. Very reminiscent of what happened in Germany in the 1930s.
There are many pictures too showing two other officers closer to Ashley Babbitt than the one who executed her and they did not perceive or act as though she needed to be taken out. Not a good look to it.
Wow! You libtards are incredibly stupid. Extremely short-sighted. This idiotic interpretation of pardon powers sets a dangerously reckless precedent for executive authority, showcasing the kind of shortsighted, power-hungry thinking that undermines the very foundations of dem governance. Preemptive pardons are a blatant gateway to authoritarianism, enabling unchecked corruption and eroding the rule of law. What would stop a president from hiring a lackey, directing them to commit a crime, and pardoning them like a get-out-of-jail-free card? These pardons set a precedent for Trump to completely live outside of the law and do whatever he wants.
Yes... i agree that this interpretation in unprecedented. Unfortunately the behavior of Donald Trump as President upholding grievances against innocent people is completely unprecedented. It is true these pardons do open the door for Trump to do the same thing on a more grand scale -- like ordering his underlying to commit illegal activities and pardoning them for doing these activities. The right-wing Supreme Court has already ruled that Trump cannot be held accountable for what he does as President and can do whatever he pleases no matter how illegal. That is the gateway to authoritarianism -- which is about to go into turbo-drive with a fascist as President who does not believe in the democratic ideals our country was founded on.
I have not seen pardons for Valerie and Jim yet although they are probably coming. Although the investigation of the money flow and connections needs to be ramped up and continued with or without pardons. If they have a pardon they have no legal basis for refusing to testify. Then bag them on perjury. Prosecutors and oversight committees should continue to map out the money flow and show it. Never a witch hunt just to show money flow. Hey Joe, tell us again why your grandchildren are getting money from Ukraine and China passed through multiple, multiple levels of shell companies.
Do you have one example? Yep. Also, SCOTUS ruled that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted for actions taken as part of their official duties.
Yeah.... under Trump's definition, Nixon ordering a raid on the Democratic office in Watergate was official duties.
