Trump fumes that he ‘can’t even go after’ January 6 investigators pardoned by Biden
Trump fumes that he ‘can’t even go after’ January 6 investigators pardoned by Biden
‘Biden gave them all their freedom because they were dead,’ the president declared in an interview with Fox News’ Spanish-language show
Donald Trump grumbled that he’s unable to “go after” the members of the House select committee that investigated the events surrounding the January 6 riots because of Joe Biden’s preemptive pardon, which the former president said he issued to prevent his successor from prosecuting them.
Besides raging about his inability to exact retribution on the lawmakers who probed the attempted insurrection and his role in inciting the rioters, Trump also patted himself on the back for pardoning most of those convicted of crimes related to the Capitol attack.
And people criticized this as paranoid and wrong when Biden did it…
Trump just blurts it out. No eyebrows even raised. Again, just imagine the outrage of Biden sat in that chair and said the same things.
If Obama did it, I'm positive we would have sitting congressional members calling for his execution for treason publicly.
I really hate having a fucking criminal in office. It's so disgusting.
Felon and rapist. Should be thrown in an El Salvador prison ffs
Which is weird, given that he's already ignoring the Constitution with regards to due process, that he wouldn't just ignore it even more regarding pardons.
No see, this makes sense. If this administration is ever going to end, you know his last action will be pardoning everyone, and he doesn't want the precedent of pardons being ignored.
I don't disagree, but are they acting like they think they'll never be out of power again?
I think its strategic. Similar to the poem "first they came for X, and I did not speak because I was not X".
You deal with the lowest protected on the rung and move up. They dealt with non-citizens. Now they move to rural american citizens. He'll get to them if we give him enough time to.
This is why rights have to apply to everyone. As soon as rights only apply to one group of people, no one has rights; they have privileges.
As terrible as the pardon power is and how easily abused it is, Biden was right to do it. Man this country is fucked.
They're all about to "accidently" get swept up in an ICE raid and end up on a plane to El Salvador in the middle of the night.
The fact that he is saying that he can't "go after" them is probably a good thing until someone reminds him that he's literally king and can do whatever he wants.
oh so the autopen DOES count? Get wrecked idiot.

Who's weaponizing the DOJ again?
Which means they're going to "go after them" anyway.
Surprised he doesn't do it anyway
Seethe and loathe
We have a lot of corrupt people in our government.

Did he look in the mirror?

If you look at the symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder...
He's so proud that he pardoned this guy.
