Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said that if former President Donald Trump were to pardon convicted January 6 rioters after re-election in 2024, his actions would warrant an impeachment process. Sen. Blumenthal told a CNN reporter on Thursday that a Trump pardon of the January 6 prisoners would be a betrayal of America’s trust.

How about opening the border to drugs and child traffickers?

Issuing a pardon is not a high crime or a misdemeanor.

Blumenthal lies.

The pardon power is plenary and absolute.

Which gives evidence of this legislator's ignorance.

Correct, but bribery certainly is. Right Joe?

Remember that when F*ck Pedo José Xiden pardon’s his Thrown out of the Navy, Coke Head, Widowed Sister in Law Humping, Stripper Impregnating, Dead Beat Dad, and José Xiden’s Snortunate Son, you POS.

I wish Trump would have said he will NOT pardon the feds who instigated violence on J6. As it stands, he was careful to qualify his remarks, stating that some might not receive a pardon.

I wonder if a Senator that claimed he had fought in Vietnam when he didn't would be "grounds for impeachment?"

If Trump wins, the Democrats will caucus in a phone booth.

One of my Battalion Commanders sarcastically referred to the “Evans School of Tact” when explaining my penchant for being brutally honest.

We now understand that overseasoning one’s steak dinner is grounds for impeachment. Trump uses catsup on his steak. Guilty!

No it isn’t Blumenthal, you great pretender. Let’s talk about you lying about military service in Vietnam when you never set foot there.

So stated as Biden willfully ignores his responsibility to protect our country’s border from invasion.

Hey "Da Nang" Dick, Lying about your military service should be grounds for impeachment and expulsion from the Senate.
