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.

No pardon!

That would imply that President Trump did something wrong,
and he did not.

Just a few minutes ago on the rerun of Law and Order S23,Ep.10:

Chief McGrath:
“You’re making the mistake of thinking we’re dealing with humans. They’re not. They’re politicians.”

Sorry, but those two do not go together.

He merely wants to prevent a successful appeal that destroys the validity of the trial, so Trump cannot clear his name. He cares not about the public good.

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.

They aren’t done yet. I’m guessing that they will replace Biden. There is potentially a black swan event that will help the Democrats. By any means necessary…

The Progs have few choices. They must destroy Trump’s reputation, kill him in an “accident” or “illness” Place him in Jail, or banish him from America and politics. They must make his a “man without a country.” If he wins (by some means) they will do a coup with woke Obama Generals, Not certify him, pull it into the House the get a combo of RINOs, Democrats and Never Trumpers (with media help) to select another GOP, like Haley or Christie or a Bush. Easiest solution is the JFK Option—a simple bullet to the brain, or a “Bird Strike” (Drones) on Trump force One. Make sure it crashes in the sea so evidence can be hidden. The American people need to be fooled into thinking it was a real accident and distracted by what —WW III? Putin did it!

Yep. I suspect they saw the donations roll in and are now panicked.

Nelson Mandela was imprisoned by the State, and the Left loves him for it. So now they have to love Trump for it.

the progs need to get rid of biden since his useful idiocy is just about 100% spent.

“get rid of” can be thought of as the deep-state equivalent to “termination by any means necessary.”

the most expedient means of termination is the proven jfk assassination model— the lone nut, conveniently assassinated himself/herself, followed by a controlled false flag investigation and indefinitely long suppression of evidence and analysis thereafter.

biden’s fall will then be blamed on trump. the deep state will ensure that the MSM will fall in line to blame trump for biden’s fall.

presto change-o, two birds with one stone.

:-(

"writing 34 checks. Not a crime that I know of."

Usually not a crime. However, Fat Bragg used some ancient minor law that negated the Statue of Limitations (SOL) and switched the normally misdemeanor charges into the lowest class felony in the State, then moved forward with the 34 charges of illegally deducting them as Legal Expenses. Cohen, the key prosecution witness (convicted perjurer,) swore it was repayment for him fronting "hush money" to a Whore who claimed she had sex with Trump. That was never proven. Even that whore changed her testimony/comments many times in public. In fact the Slut owes big money to Trump for the loss of Trump"s defamation lawsuit against her.

The above paragraph includes so much legally wrong that the DOJ and the IRS both said no thanks when approached about possible charges against Trump.

First: There is no such NY law that says 2 people can't agree on a contract that benefits both within set law.

Secondly: District Attorney campaigned on a get Trump platform. That alone should have forced him to recuse himself from the case.

Thirdly: If Cohen did indeed get repaid for advancing money to the Whore to keep quite, declaring it to be LEGAL FEES on the paperwork was entirely legitimate since Cohen was part of Trump's legal team. Not to mention Trump has an entire attorney/accountant team and only signed the Tax Returns.

Disclaimer: Some times Trump pissed me off with his lame Tweets. But I watched the man's policies closely. He stopped Obambi's "fundamental change" in its tracks. He made me proud to be an American again. He reminded me of my reason for 11 years Navy with the Soviets just itching to blow us to the bottom. I could go on about his accomplishments, but I'll leave that for you to discover while using your commonsense. If you need research hints regarding Trump's policies vs Obambi or Biteme, I'll give you some.

Obama’s the guy behind this whole “Take Down America” thing funded by Soros. Both Obama and Soros remain in the shadows and so far get away with it.

“No Drama Obama” has taken him far.

I look for Divine Providence to take a Hand here.
