@MaybeAmes@DonaldJTrumpJr I find it interesting that a lot of the people calling this ridiculous, dangerous, reckless, harassment, etc are the same ones who praised the people dangerously blocking streets on foot while harassing people in the protests throughout the summer. Ironic!
@nieto_phillip@DineshDSouza You notice there aren’t any Democratic Leaders coming out to condemn last night’s assaults
Secretly, that’s their wish for all of us
...Trump should have left the decision to a successor (as Reagan did) or, at a minimum, to Barr. Nevertheless, compared to other presidents, his commutation of Stone is not even a distant contender for “the most corrupt and cronyistic act” of presidential clemency.
We previously discussed the St. Louis couple and the call for criminal charges over their confrontation with protesters. https://t.co/4jV5HjBSUM Now it appears that a search warrant has been executed on their home. https://t.co/jVAqFH8WZ0
...pardoned Susan McDougal who might have implicated him in Whitewater. Nor was Clinton's pardoning of his own half brother or a fugitive Democratic donor staggering in any way. There was no statement of indignation, let alone a call from Pelosi for an investigation.
Nancy Pelosi also just joined the growing club of historical revisionists in declaring that this was "an act of staggering corruption" to pardon someone who "could directly implicate him in criminal misconduct." I do not recall Pelosi's staggering moment when Bill Clinton...
Despite my disagreement with the commutation, such a statement is almost charmingly quaint. The sordid history of White House pardons makes this commutation look positively chaste in comparison. https://t.co/vtoQMN8BVf
...The theory is so wildly absurd that it defies belief — unless you have been following the legal analysis of the last three years. Despite arguments by the Washington Post's Randall Eliason and others, this theory was never “exactly” or even remotely right. But it is now back.
The discredited bribery theory came sputtering back to life this week. Nader announced: “We don't know yet if the attorney general's conduct is criminal, but that kind of quid pro quo is awfully close to bribery." It is not awfully close. Just awful...https://t.co/cYDLhtxWPP
...Exactly where in that language is the authority for the House to prohibit the use of pardons in certain cases or circumstances? Pelosi's proposed limits are not just unconstitutional, they are virtually recreational in proposing limits that would be toe-tagged upon passage.
...Just for clarity, Article Two of the United States Constitution (Section 2, Clause 1) states that the President "shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of impeachment." ...
Adam Schiff just declined on ABC to answer whether Pelosi’s unconstitutional proposed limits on pardon authority is clearly unconstitutional. The fact is that Pelosi's proposal would be dead on arrival at the courts. https://t.co/vtoQMN8BVf
...From Toobin to Pelosi to Schiff to Romney, this Society of Historical Revisionism is expanding. These figures did not call for such investigations or legislation after prior abuses. To paraphrase John 8:7, let he or she “without sin among you,” cast the first Stone criticism.
