CNN: It 'Seems Clear' That 'Trump Unchained' Will Pardon Himself
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/26/2020 6:35:42 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Predicting a historic presidential move, based solely on a retweet: really Alisyn?

On CNN's New Day on Thursday morning, co-host Alisyn Camerota, referencing President Trump's retweet of Rep. Matt Gaetz's tweet suggesting that the president pardon himself, said:

"It seems clear this is going to happen."

"Clear?" Camerota offered no evidence beyond the retweet in support of her bold assertion.

perhaps they do and you just are never told. It doesn’t have to be made public.

I have often wondered what secret Pardons Obama did.

Trump should pardon Hillary. That would piss her off.

EVERY DAY for 4 1/2 years, DJT has been tortured. We, his supporters, were NEVER allowed a moment of celebration, or pride in electing this man. Even if he leaves office, the obsessed,, vicious media won’t stop.

they are really in a twist over the flynn pardon. Yes, the pardon is legal. As soon as BIden takes office he will probably secretly pardon his idiot son

*not one sentence* in this article even hints at the complete lawlessness of the pardon
also, not single Dem/critic is quoted;

Hillary is the one I really wonder about as to whether Obama pardoned her.

pardon his entire family, Snowden, Assange, and a host of others.

Including the 75-80 million of us who voted for him. Surely we're guilty of SOME crime or other, in their tiny little minds. :-)

Certainly an intriguing idea. The least that could happen is the commie dems would spend enormous time and energy and tax money to fight such a pardon in court. At the most, a pardon for himself would also eliminate the legal actions the commie dems plan to entangle the Pres with, whether he is in or out of office.

“Do any of these people remember Mueller, impeachment, and nonstop persecution by everyone else?”

They will subpoena years of business records. That will be mountains of paper. If they cannot find anything there, they will just make something up, phony up some evidence (see Michael Flynn and Russia-gate), and make sure it’s tried in Washington DC, where juries will convict any Republican of pretty much anything.

Trump conducted a revolution but did not kill the king. The King’s vengeance will be breathtaking.

Notwithstanding that the President manages to stop the steal, you are absolutely correct.

A simpleton should be able to understand that. Or maybe not.

Trump is playing bacci-ball inside the heads of CNN reporters and scoring high marks.

Camerota is to journalism as a “Wuhan bat is to good, healthy eating”, only not as cute.

I can’t remember where I heard it and when. It may not be true, and I hope that it isn’t.
