Hopefully DAY ONE!

Well worth the time to watch.
If I recall correctly Nixon was already in the process of getting impeached before Ford’s pardon was issued. In other words Ford did not pardon him before every congress critter was made aware of Watergate break in.
I never knew Trump has a money printing machine at Mar-a-Lago. Lawyers for hundreds of people would be astronomically expensive.
Up until last year, I lived in the DC Metro area. Lived in the Maryland suburbs and commuted to work in the Virginia suburbs. Virtually every day I commuted down Bladensburg Road to Maryland Avenue and down Constitution Ave. (If you’re familiar with the area, you’ll know what I’m talking about)
I knew days beforehand that on that day, I would take the Beltway (and double my commute distance). I didn’t even want my cellphone to ping off of a DC tower from midnight to midnight. Not anywhere in the District.
I’m not the smartest guy in the world, not even close. How that number of people didn’t realize what was patently a setup was crazy to me.

…The power of pardon conferred by the Constitution upon the President is unlimited except in cases of impeachment. It extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission,
either before legal proceedings are taken or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.
The power is not subject to legislative control...
bookmark, thanks
Not so fast. Trump would have to be sure he wasn't pardoning somebody who actually deserved jail time. No way he could have foreseen the unjust treatment that did occur to Jan 6 protesters.
Think about Blackstone’s Ratio: “better than 10 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man suffer.”
Doesn’t matter.
Nobody prior to Trump leaving office was upset that the rioters weren’t pardoned. Nobody was really asking for it either and when they did they got made fun of.
People are just using the Trump should have pardoned line now for political purposes or don’t realize it is the BIDEN regime who is abusing the system.

Lawyer for ‘Q Shaman’ Urges Trump to Pardon Rioters

(Bunch of comments making fun of the rioters and claiming Trump should not do pardons ensues.)
1. Dang ol’ Qtards. Is there no bridge too far for them?

2. Trump had to undergo a fake impeachment for their actions, and they want him to pardon them? ‘Scuse me, they can go straight to the Hot Place.

4. I’m telling you guys that at least a solid minority of Q leadership are Leftist PsyOp types. Not all of them (I believe most are good citizens in need of a mystery novel), but a small part of the leadership are Leftist PsyOps. You think someone who was pro-Trump would a) go on CNN and b) liken the protestors to those poor souls that drank that that poisoned Flavor-Aid at Jonestown ....?
Don’t be duped FRiends.

5. It really doesn’t speak well for the strength of your case when your first attempt at defending yourself is requesting a pardon for your actions.

6. Would pardoning them be considered a High Crime or Misdemeanor? Can President Trump get the impeachment hat trick by Wednesday?

7. No way.
Those who participated, especially those who were violent and destructive, must be held legally accountable.

8. The short answer is no! Don’t ask for the long answer because it gets profane!

9. No pardons for Antifa/BLM rioters!

11. No Pardons!!!
They took part in a riot. Actions have consequences.

13. Pardon Antifa terrorists? Not surprised.

14. Why? The instigators were BLM/Antifa. Just like they were at the 2015 / 2016 Trump rallies.

Yep.
Timelines can be very important.
I agree 100%!
“If no one went inside the Capitol or broke windows things could have been different.”
It was fbi/antifa that broke windows
Ashli Babbitt and other REAL Trump supporters are seen and heard on video telling them to stop.
That may be why Pelosi put out a hit on Ashli, and had her killed.
J6 was a Pelosi designed riot.
She did a good job blaming it on Trump and you and me.
What was it Mark Twain said?
“If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.”
But he saved us from covid by masking, travel restrictions.. common sense stuff including bumpstock bans and mail in ballots. More common sense leadership to come, yay.
One of his close allies, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOw that’s a problem in waiting right there.
Linda is a living wind sock.
When the winds of political change are harbingers for a Red Tsunami, Linda is all in.But when the going gets tough? Linda is a bailer.
He side lined Nicky Haley quite skillfully.But then her sins were no worse than Linda’s. Both bailers.
Taking that to an extreme, you get the Los Angeles D. A. Gascon, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, etc.
The Hill is saying close ally and are lying PiecesOS . Don’t use Democrat Party propaganda against Trump.
