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.

I thought that the Supreme Court could state that he had Immunity as President and any sentence is gone.

They finally realized that they overplayed their hand. I - and many others - who can’t stand Trump will be voting for him now, thanks to the Dems

Polling must be really bad. I don’t know how they could have been so stupid.

Nixon clearly obstructed justice for which impeachment was drawn up (but never implemented because he resigned).

The only crimes here are those repeatedly committed by these whacko Democrats.

This is a transparent and cynical attempt to have it both ways, legitimize this sham trial and avoid the blowback a sentence is going to bring. It is an insulting little trick from a rat scumbag.

So wait, you never voted for Trump and are proud of that? I would say grovelling and silence is all we expect from the likes of you.

I don’t think they can, their activist base would kill them if they did. That is why this guy is careful to insert all the trigger words so that he doesn’t look lime he has gone off their reservation.

TRUMP real estate holding are massive.

Jimmah Carter INHERITED A BUSY PEANUT FARM.

HE declared BANKRUPTCY every 7 years 3 successive times.

I know one of Trump’s Atlantic City Casinos declared bankruptcy when the INDIANS were given right to have casinos....all over the country-—.

I am NOT worried about 6 VARIOUS bankruptcies over his adult lifetime with the array of holdings he has had.

PICKING THE FLY SHIT OUT OF THE PEPPER.

Exactly - any & all appeals would likely become moot, the federal courts would be unlikely to get involved at all, and the Dems would be able to shout "Trump's a convicted felon!" and "Look how magnanimous we are!" simultaneously. Great way to have their cake and eat it, too...

A pardon may may an appeal moot. Trump would be better if he reversed the verdict, rather than take a pardon.

Trump has over 200 subsidiaries.

A handful declared bankruptcy.

These people are clowns.

"They are really really nervous"

Yep, that's my impression too. When a RAT Minnesota Rep is asking the RAT NY Governor to pardon Trump, that's pretty telling. "For the good of the country" my ass. For the good of the RAT party is the real reason.

It would be a good and smart thing to do—but the Dems have never been accused of being smart or kind. Pardon him and let him go would end a lot of problems.
