Expand 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

CardinalBacker Posted July 13, 2020 Report 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

Most of the time the President will pardon someone after they've served an amount of time. Kinda like Blagojevich, Scooter Libby, etc...

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. Quote

stevenash Posted July 13, 2020 Report 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. Quote
