Here's a pardon for you.

[Blackjack200]

This is a different kind of abuse. Former presidents saw political pardons as a liability. Trump uses them as an asset.

I'm honestly having a hard time understanding what you're arguing. In any case, this thread does a pretty good job drawing a line back to Ford's pardon of Nixon.

Wow, I had totally forgotten about that. You guys may be onto something here.

D'Souza is considered an "intellectual" on the right. Pretty much tells you all you need to know about the American right wing.

I remember when Bill Krystal used to be considered a conservative intellectual. Can't be though, he's a never Trumper.

You're not paying attention. Ford's pardon of Nixon cost him the 1976 election. Read up-

In 2001, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award to Ford for his pardon of Nixon.[21] In presenting the award to Ford, Senator Ted Kennedy said that he had initially been opposed to the pardon of Nixon, but later stated that history had proven Ford to have made the correct decision.[22]

I detested Nixon. He was widely hated over his conduct of the War. We wanted the war over & the Watergate drama was part of what needed to be over. When Ford pardoned Nixon we had destroyed Tricky Dick & that was good enough for most. We didn't have to fight over it. It was over. I lived it. I remember.

Since then, Presidents have avoided political pardons that might hurt them. They saved them for the end of their terms when they couldn't be hurt. GWB caught enormous flack for commuting Scooter's sentence. Everybody knew he'd never see a day in jail because he'd roll over at that point.

Trump isn't doing that at all. He's less than 2 years into his term. He's pitching the deplorables with the idea that Joe, Scooter & Dinesh are good guys telling the truth. Trump pushes his fellow con artists & conspiracy theorists back to the top of the news cycle & validates them to his base.

He's tearing the Country apart.

Nope.

Nice try.

Dinesh D'Souza was targeted by obama because he spoke out against him. Dinesh deserves the pardon although the left isnt going to like it though.

Pleaded Guilty To Campaign Finance Fraud, you drunken fool.

He's trying to frame all this "breaking the law" stuff as no big deal to his supporters. Gee, I wonder why.

As feral said, he pled guilty to a crime you raging moron.

 

[Jhhnn]

D'Souza is a right wing conspiracy theory grifter. That's not actually illegal but it's why Trump pardoned him. His campaign contribution shenanigans were illegal, however.

Not according to his black guy.

he prefers "his African American"

Interesting, Maddow just commented on how Trump pardoning D'Souza and discussing pardons for Martha Stewart, Rod B et al could be blatant signaling to his associates caught up in the Russia stuff.

Offenses Trump will let you get away with:

- Obstruction of justice, perjury, making false statements to investigators (Scooter Libby, Martha Stewart),
- Criminal contempt of court (Arpaio)
- Corruption, fraud, and extortion (Rod Blagojevich).
- Campaign finance violations (D’Souza)

They need that.

You're an ignorant, lying asshole.

Go fuck a durian....and please do it with enthusiasm.

At the GOP convention, Trump claimed that he alone could restore law & order. Helluva start.

Evidence or STFU, troll

Trump is softening the ground for when he starts pardoning people in his administration and people close too him

Yup. They all parallel people from his circle potentially facing charges. Seems pretty damn transparent.

 

[compuwiz1]

The left needs to just STFU about this. This is not a thing and is typical of POTUS privilege to pardon.

Bottom line is, you lot are not more moral, just freaking hypocrites.
