Christie: Trump Is Ignoring Guardrails, Pardoning Political Corruption
Breitbart ^ | 06.01.2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/01/2025 10:48:47 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said President Donald Trump was ignoring the “guardrails” of the presidency by pardoning supporters convicted of political corruption and white-collar crime.

Christie said, “I think his view of this is that the biggest mistake he made in the first term was not to go further, was to have any type of guardrails placed upon him by either the people he puts around him or by recognition of the law and norms and customs for the position of the presidency. And so you see it in a whole bunch of different ways we just looked at. You see it in pardons in particular, he has categories of pardons. You have the pay-to-play pardons. You have the reality TV stars turned supporters, and then you’ve got those who are just victims of what he calls weaponization of the Justice Department. But all of them have one thing in common, which is you’ve got to be whole hog for Donald Trump. Never before have we seen a president who makes it a gate to getting a pardon to being a political supporter of his a vocal current political supporter.”

“Christie: Trump Is Ignoring Guardrails, Pardoning Political Corruption”

Well, you can run (really waddle) again for Trump’s job, if you don’t agree with his pardons.

These pardons were actually signed by the President of the United States.

Biden’s pardons were so much better — signed with an autopen operated by some unelected chief of staff of the wife of some guy with dementia. Can’t get more legit than that!

Go look at what Christina did in NY. What a fraud, with no room to talk. You would need a bigger room. Playing the sounds of whales softly in the background would help with him to feel at home.

Obama and Biden were in power for a combined 12 years.
Did Donut Guy ever say anything against them?
Nope

I am not saying I agree with Trump’s pardons.. not familiar with most of th cases he’s pardoned… but after the pardons granted under Biden it’s hard to say Trump’s the one who has ignored norms.

Biden (or more appropriately the puppet master who installed a vegetable into
The White House) literally pardoned a judge who took bribes to send children to jail, simply because he was democratically connected.

One of Chrissy’s “core values” is that he never says anything bad about the DemonRATS.

"Chris Christie (R-NJ)"

All you probably need to know to ignore everything else he said. Just in case you are a glutton for punishment, read on.

The guardrails were placed there by leftist ideologues whose sole purpose is to hamstring Our President. President Trump is doing to right thing by not just ignoring those so-called “guardrails,” but ripping them out of the ground and relegating them to the trash heap where they belong.

Krispy Kreme should shut his face and go have another donut.
