I've never seen a list like that before. Had no idea that there were that many people being pardoned. Thought only a few people would get pardoned by an outgoing potus towards the end of his term. Is this typical, or a new Obama style tradition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we forgot what obama/holder did concerning the new black panthers when they were found GUILTY of voter intimidation?! After they were found guilty -- obama/holder DROPPED the charges!! From the article: "Bartle Bull, who worked as a civil rights lawyer in the south in the 1960's and is a former campaign manager for Robert Kennedy, said it was the most blatant form of voter intimidation he had ever seen." So, I guess some are so far to the left that they can't smell "this" true and evil fishy smell from there!!

From the article: "She (Susan Rosenberg) spent 16 years in jail, during which she emerged as an author and AIDS activist, and President Bill Clinton pardoned her on his final day in office on January 20, 2001. 'Susan Rosenberg, who handles their (BLM) finances is a convicted terrorist who was involved with the Black Panthers who used to slaughter police officers,' Giuliani said on the show. 'This convicted terrorist was sentenced to 58 years. Clinton’s corrupt last hour pardon set her free."

CardinalBacker Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Of course they’ve all granted pardons, clemency, and sentence commutations. I just can’t recall an instance where the pardon was for an individual (Stone) who was so closely aligned with the person granting it. It seems like Trump is thanking Stone for keeping his mouth shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as a person is an "appropriate distance" from the President, all is ok but if the president knows the person being pardoned, it is unacceptable? I can assure you that many of Obamas pardons involved people who were close to his minions or "the cause" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time the President will pardon someone after they've served an amount of time. Kinda like Blagojevich, Scooter Libby, etc... I can't think of another instance where a person was pardoned before even making to prison. Much less a person whose crimes involved the person (Trump) granting the pardon.

I personally feel no president should have the right to pardon anyone. Leave that to a judge a jury and appeals courts and then governor.

During his 4th to last day in office, Obama pardoned James Cartwright, who was awaiting sentencing for giving false statements to federal investigators, and Willie McCovey was pardoned for tax evasion.

It's what Ford did when Nixon resigned. People didn't like Nixon getting off, but it was for the good of the country. I wasn't kidding when I said that I felt like Trump should have pardoned Hillary just to keep us all moving forward. We're all gonna wish that somebody had pardoned Trump before it's all over with, too, IMO. Also, the governor a state can't pardon a federal crime... those have to go through the President.

stevenash Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I have no idea. Point is, some get concerned only when it happens under Trump. Obama gave 1927 pardons and commutations over an 8 year term. I am pretty sure Mr. Trump cant catch him if he serves four terms. Nobody ever said a word about the Obama efforts.

All this is wrong I do not understand why a president is granted the power to pardon this is not checks and balance. The president d or r is not a king why even have a judicial branch.
