1. Hey, you get on a roll and the next thing you know, the jail's empty.

2. How long before he pardons Billy fuBarr?

7. Billy fuBarr

8. I got that from BigmanPigman :D

[SWBTATTReg]

3. I'm just waiting for his wave of revenge pardons, where a particular state pisses him off,

and he then goes and pardons 20 of that states' murderers. I wouldn't put it pass him.

9. Pretty much all murder trials are in state court.

orange lardass can only pardon on the Federal level. State charges are beyond his reach.

13. Thank you for reminding me of this ... at least he can't go too crazy, perhaps (rump)? That is, ...

until something happens w/ him tomorrow or in the future...I didn't think I'd ever say this, but on some level, thank god for state jurisdictions (not 100% federal).

14. Lt. William Calley of My Lai Massacre fame?

[sdfernando]

16. That was US Military and tried as a war crime

so totally different than state charges for sure. I've read up a bit on that trial (trials, appeals, etc)....what a shitshow that was. I do find it odd that he was the only once charged....sounds like he as made the bag man by the military top brass.

21. I always wondered how he was the "one".

It looked more like a group effort.

5. Right wing logic: You can't be guilty if it's something everybody does!

10. Well yeah, donald. All the swamp monsters do it. That's true.

You should know. You’re one of ‘em. And not difference is, you just happen to be the reigning poster boy of it.

Birds of a feather and all that.

11. I bet the balance in Trump's offshore bank accounts went up significantly before these pardons.

Everything is transactional with him. There is no doubt in my mind that he is selling presidential pardons to the highest bidders.

[Under The Radar]

15. What is the market price for a pardon today?

Blagojevich got a commuted sentence which must be like a pardon on Lay-a-way.

[leftieNanner]

12. He's priming the pump

For when HE is charged with corruption. He can point to these cases and say "See! These are all OK fine. You don't need to throw ME in jail for doing these pesky little crimes."

Heaven help us! I hope he is charge with his crimes - during my lifetime!

[dweller]

17. Tax fraud, Obstruction of Justice and Lying to the FBI

sounds like fatnixon's rap sheet
birds of a feather and all that

18. Every Republican Senator except Mitt!

Every Republican Senator except Mitt is complicit in releasing these criminals found guilty and convicted by a jury of Americans using the laws of this land. These criminals would still be in jail had Republican Senators, except for Mitt, not supported a corrupt criminal themselves. THEY voted to allow laws to be broken and a fascist dictator to continue to exist just as surely as if they themselves pardoned duly and honestly convicted criminal. They must share the same view that these criminals should be released of any crimes they committed simply because one man says so.

Each Republican Senator who voted to acquit the P resident needs to be called, written to emailed, texted, twitted and directly told they are allowing the rule of law to be broken with impunity. THEY...are as responsible as the piece of shit in the White House. Make them live with that until November then when the Senate turns Democratic, investigate each and every one of them.

They are as guilty as the piece of shit in office of releasing criminals as he is. It's what they really stand for...no law pertains to them.

Pelosi needs to convene another and immediate impeachment...NOW!

19. Pardon the Swamp!

Bribery, obstruction, and tax fraud? That's what Trump calls leadership.

[Beartracks]

20. What dictionary do Republicans use? Cuz that right there is the DEFINITION of corruption! n/t
