A former Capitol rioter who publicly turned on President-elect Donald Trump after serving 60 days in federal prison has said she would “refuse” a pardon from the incoming president, who has previously promised to free nonviolent offenders who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Pamela Hemphill, a grandmother in her seventies who pleaded guilty to charges related to the riot, sounded off on social media about her thoughts on her prospective pardon. “I’m not going to be bullied by MAGA anymore, as those who went as far as calling my Probation Officer trying to get me in trouble backfired on them, thinking I would stop speaking out, just give me more confidence to continue!” Hemphill wrote in a post on X. “I will refuse a pardon from felon Trump!” Trump previously highlighted Hemphill’s case in a very brief post on his Truth Social app in 2023—but by that time Hemphill had already distanced herself from the MAGA movement.

Per Dershowitz, a recipient of a pardon has no power to accept or reject. The pardon event is 100% on the part of the person giving the pardon.
Why would anyone do that?
Our side as it's share of cretinous jackasses.
Her time in the Re-education Camp seems to have worked.
She slammed a five-gallon jug of the Lefty Koolaid...
I think Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a pardon can be refused but not a commutation? Something like that.
Ooops. Unintended theme change changes sentence meaning. Early morning rejection. Return to coffee mess for reflection.
Dersh is wrong. Accepting a pardon removes the 5th Amendment rights if one is later called to testify. Many have (and are) refusing pardons.

Pardon her anyway because her conviction was still wrong. Would send a message that kangaroo courts are bad even when fools like them.
Chump wants no help, chump gets no help.
Not everyone is sane.
How do you know it’s MAGA people that did it?
I doubt it’s “our side”.
This little old grandmother is being threatened and harassed by leftists (including the State) to keep quiet.
Just passing on what I heard him say a couple weeks ago. (Dersh is almost always wrong. 🙄)
Okay. Your choice.
“Per Dershowitz, a recipient of a pardon has no power to accept or reject.”
I can’t wait to see people forced OUT of jail, that will be different.
Attention getting move, sees herself as a new media darling.
Cool. No need to pardon her then.
