Actually according to Tucker Carlson, this is NOT the reason why Assange wont be pardoned, he wont be pardoned because Mitch McConnell has told Trump that if he pardons Azsange, he will be convicted in the Senate, if he doesn’t do it, they will leave him alone..that is what an evil bastard Mitch McConnell is, and if true, isn’t that a quid pro quo, isnt that what got Trump impeached the first time
Why should a conviction matter? The trial’s going to go on after he’s left.
I’m not even sure that he would be forbidden from running again if he were convicted.
Mitch CANT impeach him after he leaves office give Mitch the middle finger and pardon him anyway!! SCREW THESE BASTARDS!!!
Trump should tell McConnell to go pack sand. First, I'm doubtful that 2/3 of the Senate would vote to convict, but even if they did, it wouldn't matter. Impeaching a private citizen is likely unconstitutional, and as much as folks would love him too, I don't think Trump will run in 2024, as he'll be 78 by then -- 79 shortly after taking office.
It's time for everyone -- Trump included -- to stand up to McConnell and tell him his days are numbered.
