All Arpio did was not comply with an unconstitutional court ruling.
Why do YOU have a problem with the sheriff’s pardon?
Sheriff Joe was not a criminal except in the minds of a warped judiciary.
The Donald called on the reporter, and listened very patiently as the guy fed him the very question he was prepared to spike back.
There was no abuse of process.
The President has unlimited power of pardon in the Constitution.
The charge against Sheriff Joe was a MISDEMEANOR, brought by an out of control Justice Dept, under Holder and Lynch, and abetted by a Clinton appointed kangaroo court judge.
That was where the abuse was, not by Trump.
I watched it.
Thought it was great, but no butt handing grandstanding by the president. Just a matter of fact response
Honestly think Trump knew Roberts was going to ask this.
Insider trading so tospeak.
poster didn’t say that he said a pres can pardon whom ever he wants.
He didn’t bury John Roberts. It was an appropriate question. Trump’s answer was directed at his critics, not John Roberts.
Politicians and fools are always comparing themselves to the other guy. I don’t care who Obama pardoned. He is not President any more. I care about what our guy does and why.
I'd be happy to answer that question for you but I think it's fair to take these questions in turn. My question to you stands. If you believe there can be no abuse of the pardon process as the president has "carte blanche" to pardon anyone for any reason, are you OK with the pardons of Marc Rich and Roger Clinton?
Agreed—Roberts even had a follow-up question.
He and the President were very respectful to each other.
His original question to Trump was something along the lines of “What do you say to the critics of your pardon of Arpaio?
Perfect tee-up.
Out came the paper listing the scurrilous Dem pardons of Clinton and Obama
I’m of the opinion that John Roberts is a Trump hater. He is a regular go to guy for Shemp Smith. Nuff said.
Destroys! Smashes! Obliterates! Slams!
Alas, the hyperbole.
Were the pardons of Marc Rich, Roger Clinton and Bradley Manning abusive?
Just the facts...makes liberals squirm.
There was no “abuse”. Unlike Clinton, Trump didn’t receive a dime in exchange for his pardon. In this case Trump was absolutely justified in pardoning a man whose crime was ignoring a court order that illegally told him to stop enforcing the law he was sworn to uphold.
Are you a perpetual Trump hater or just a constitutionally challenged idiot?
Were the pardons of Marc Rich, Roger Clinton and Bradley Manning abusive?
Didn’t Clown Dunce nobama pardon over 2000 people? Many seemed to be doing some hard drug distributing time.
