Ping to “most-read” WaPo Op-Ed speculating that Trump could be impeached for pardoning Sheriff Joe!
From #3: The left is for killing their enemies. Never doubt that. Its just under the surface.
From #4: Not to mention there is a YUGE dementocrat precedence for not upholding criminal contempt of court decisions.
Thanks, Seizethecarp.
The judge should be impeached
The funny thing is other idiot leftists will think this is legitimate and pin their fantasies on this. Like they have so many other false narratives.
Obama proved that many lies can be sold to leftist fools. I shake my head at the nonsense they swallow. It’s truly a sight to behold.
The pardoning power derives from the king and its absolute. The President can pardon any one and they don’t have to serve their sentence to be eligible.
This is a flimsy argument for impeachment. Besides, its done.
LMAO!
Haha!
Which one of these applies to the Marc Rich pardon?
Wasn’t Benito Obama’s interference in the judicial process regarding Eric Holder’s perjury and contempt of Congress an impeachable offense? Yet not a word from the #Fakenews media or the ruling elites in DC...
Hate “news”.

This is rich! Mark Rich!
:)
YES! That is exactly what I wanted it to be. I want all judges put on notice: stick to the law and do NOT try to re-interpret it to fit your political predilections.
Be a shame if Negan and Lucille “interviewed” Andrew Rudalevige...
There is nothing in the Constitution about the reason for a presidential pardon. So the President can pardon anyone for any crime for any reason or no reason at all. This was not an impeachable offense.
This is a controversial legal theory on the meaning of "high crimes and misdemeanors" according to this article by the Heritage foundation on grounds of impeachment
However even granting this theory, the only kind of non-criminal act would have to be a serious problem for the nation, and not just something that Left-wingers decide to whine about.
There would be "rule of the rope and nail-studded baseball bat"...
Another keeper
AFAIK, this is the first pardon by DJT. He pardoned a man who looked out for the best interests of his nation. He wasn’t imprisoned by a jury of his peers, but rather a social justice warrior impersonating a judge.
OTOH, Clinton and Bammy released drug dealers, traitors, and democrats convicted of embezzlement and illegal donations to democrat causes.
Big dif.
It didn't happen on his last day in office?
