Donald Trump Retweets Call to Pardon Himself
Newsweek vis MSN ^ | 11/26/20 | Jacob Jarvis

Posted on 11/26/2020 6:03:18 AM PST by DoodleDawg

President Donald Trump has shared a call from his ally Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to consider granting a pardon to himself.

After he detailed the full pardon of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn on Wednesday, Trump retweeted a number of posts, largely related to claims of election fraud as he persists with his action against the election outcome.

Among posts he shared was a call from Gaetz made prior to Flynn's pardoning, which had encouraged the president to carry out this action.

In the clip from Fox News, Gaetz had also said Trump should consider using his pardoning powers for others should he see fit—including himself.

A media fantasy and one which Trump should ignore. In addition to having done nothing I'm aware of that needs a pardon, acceptance of a pardon is legally seen as an admission of guilt. The media would like nothing more than to trumpet Trump's guilty plea before the world. Gaetz should shut up about Trump pardoning himself or at least read up on the ramifications.

He would need to pardon himself if the democrats are allowed to steal the election. He would be litigated to death. Him and his children and his business. These are not Americans or good people they are raging communists.

As others have asked, pardon for what?

He would be litigated to death. Him and his children and his business.

Which is going to happen anyway at the state level. A presidential pardon will not cover that. No doubt the next few years will be challenging for the Trump Organization and the Trump family. New York, banks, and others are out for blood.

Matt Gaetz telling Trump to pardon himself?!
- I thought he was a good conservative, but this and what he said at Warroom interview with Bannon, show that he is a fake.

He said at Warroom -
(my paraphrase - ) I learn from the past 4 years: if byden is the president, I would not fight him, because it is not good for the country. I would move on and work with him......

Despite knowing that byedone stole the election, we just move on with his illegitimate presidency?
What kind of message we are sending the RATS by doing so?

What is wrong with Matt Gaetz?
I am usualy ‘forgiving, but this is too much!

Headline taken out of context, which is that Trump should pardon everyone to keep the rabid jackals at bay.

This is hilarious!

It’s clearly a setup to get the media to go nuts.

The media have been shouting out that question about the President doing a self-pardon...........so this seems like the President is trolling them again!

It’s great!

There doesn’t need to be a “what”. The demonrats will invent something that never existed. They will spin it from the unholy, hellish evil in their own hearts.

Remember Russian collusion and pee-pee gate?

I think that President Trump should also include pardons for *everyone* in his administration he thinks the Democrats might still try to persecute. If he did that for dozens or even hundreds of people, it would not stand out that he also pardoned himself.

Importantly, a pardon does not apply just to existing crimes, but crimes they *might* have committed intentionally or not.

The list should include the VP, all cabinet officers, all White House functionaries, many of their wives and husbands, Republican members of the senate and house who have been criminally threatened. etc.
