House Dem wants Gov. Hochul to pardon Trump ‘for the good of the country’

A Democratic congressman has publicly called on Gov. Hochul to pardon former President Donald Trump after he was found guilty this week of falsifying business records — for the sake of the nation.

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) said a Trump conviction only helps his campaign.

“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim. @GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country,” Phillips declared in a X post Friday.

Feeling the pain already. I wonder what the first new polls early next week will start showing?

Interesting. I figured Trump would pardon himself after he gets into office; I hadn’t considered that the Democrats would be smart enough to pardon him before the election.

It’s their best idea yet but they won’t do it.
The Marxists control the Party and they cannot help themselves.
They are like panicked looters breaking into the home that is America, and then after stealing everything, they foolishly kill the innocent witnesses.

They want to destroy capitalism. They want to destroy America.
They want to destroy the West!

Many men were imprisoned by the opposition throughout the decades.

Here is a list of all the tyrannical rulers who jailed their opposition: Russia’s Putin, Iran’s Ali Khamenei, Venezuela Hugo Chavez, Panama Manuel Noriega, Egypt Hosni Mubarak, along with the Congo, Zimbabwe, Cambodia, Bangladesh and other third world countries.

And it only made freedom loving people and their imprisoned leader stronger.

If they can jail him, they can ruin you and everyone you are related to for any reason at any time.

That’s like being offered forgiveness for something you never did.

I doubt that Trump would accept it if offered.

Trump cannot pardon himself for a state conviction. That’s up to Hochul.

The hard part about that is figuring out for what crime he is being pardoned.

He’d still be a convicted felon

And why should the shitocrats issue a pardon? They have the appeals court stacked with their flunkies, ideologues, and sycophants. The appeal is not going to help Trump. The Republic is dead and Shitocrats killed it.

Rats would love to do this, not that they are scared of poll numbers, but just to make is seem that Trump “owes them” something.

Plus the felony charges would still stick to Trump forever.

No, Trump wants this overturned and the felony charges dismissed.

I don’t think that nasty, hate-filled woman would do anything like that.

Yep, a pardon means he can’t appeal.

It is their only salvation at this point, they screwed up big time and they know it.

Took a short drive this morning. Within two blocks of the house I saw a pickup painted with Trump support statements.

Gov Hochul could maybe lessen the Party' headaches and remove the fake trial from the headlines by a pardon but she would make herself a pariah among City people while not gaining anything with upstate conservatives.

“The hard part about that is figuring out for what crime he is being pardoned.”

Ford’s pardon of Nixon fits perfectly, IIRC.
