I'm assuming you meant that "Trump defending his correct use of the process by pointing out the abuse of process by others makes his correct use look like an abuse." Otherwise, your claim that Trump has "abused" his constitutional powers is absolutely insane.
That said, I think that Joe has already received a lot of defense in center and right leaning media. If Trump needs a 30 second talking point to go viral, I also would choose to point out the crimes of Obama and Clinton.
Mummy.... No. Trump DID answer the reporters question. Told him exactly why he issued the pardon. Watch the video.
You're pointing to Mark Rich and Roger Clinton to prove that pardoning Joe was an "abuse of process." Obviously this is illogical and your statement is a mere strawman. The fact that you're even mentioning it is transparently dishonest.
This is how you respond to these ridiculous attacks. IMO, John Roberts of Fox served a hanging curve over the plate for Trump to hit out of the park. Roberts has been very evenhanded in his reporting and was respectful in this case. He allowed the President to read the entire litany without interruption. I was just happy to hear it and hope to hear no more garbage on this coming from the GOPe.
Trump brought them up as the defense for Arpaio. It's no use blaming me for walking through the door he opened.
This is doubly dishonest since obviously Trump didn't call his own pardon an "abuse of process," and you are still using their example to prove that Trump committed an "abuse of process."
I’m under the impression you have not watched the video. Perhaps now would be a good time to do so.
I didn’t take it as a conflict between the president and Mr. Roberts and didn’t mean to convey that. “Bury” meaning that Trump answered John Robert’s question so completely and thoroughly that very little else could be asked on that topic by any of the remaining members of the more hostile press. He literally dumped a load of truth on Mr. Roberts, hence my choice of the term “bury.”
What makes Tump's pardon of Arpaio, "abusive"?
Actually the comparison makes a point about the corrupt anti American media. The point is worth making by the president.
I think Trump brought up the other examples to show the dishonesty of the press.
I won’t ask a question.Those previous pardons happened.
They are history.
I did not vote for either of the 2 pardoners.
DJT had as much authority to pardon the sheriff as previous presidents.
Posting history shows a bit.
I notice that you can’t be bothered to explain how the President abused his authority.
That was a complete and total destruction. They won’t be playing any of this on ABC/Fox News Radio at the top of the hour.
I’m happy to discuss things with anyone who can remain civil.
Liar. When given that opportunity all you’ve done in this thread is troll FReepers and breezily make an incendiary accusation against POTUS.
He was absent throughout the entire election and was complaining about Trump right up until he disappeared. Apparently he stopped posting around the time Jim Rob was suspending a lot of the virulent never trumpers.

Ya’ll can say what you want but I’m convinced Trump reads FR
Even if Trump does nothing for the rest of his term, I will always salute him and say "Well Done, Sir!"
He got up in front of a crowd of reporters from everywhere, and out of his mouth came the words "The Failing New York Times".
He got up in front of a crowd of reporters from everywhere, and out of his mouth came the words "Hoax, wealth redistribution scam, global warming".
He got up in front of a crowd of reporters from everywhere, and out of his mouth came the words "Pardon, Clinton, Marc Rich, Weathermen; Obama, and Oscar Lopez-Rivera".
He has done more since he took office in this respect than every single President in the last 27 years.
BRAVO!
