Lawyer For Capitol Rioter Appeals For A Pardon From President Trump | Ayman Mohyeldin | MSNBC
Trump: What rioters? Never met any.
You hit the nail on the head!
@Ben G the financial and political backlash from Jan 6 will pale in comparison if Trump issues pardons.
@Beyond Stylz enough with the orange man jokes, Donald Trump is a giant one big eyed monster that they have Animaniacs new series which they make fun of him.
Trump: They’re were good people on both sides. (Got away with that sh*t once, I can do it again.)
@Amy Elizabeth news reporter: oh yeah, if they are good people why did you let them take weapons and attack on Capitol Hill?
Donald Trump:( he is silent for 12 seconds and then he speaks) let me get back on that and I’ll let you know. ( he slowly taking his golf clubs, slowly walked through the door and went to his Jet Plane to go to play golf but no one want him to play anymore so they banned him for life )
If he does pardon them, then that means his speech was a LIE!! As USUAL!
This is why the Second Impeachment needs to go through. Because in the Constitution’s text, which states that the president “shall have the power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
So if Trump gets impeached the second time. It takes away his ability to give pardons to everyone, including himself.
It also removes Donald J. Trump from office and disqualifies him from future elections. This also removes his perks and benefits as former president.
The Former Presidents Act of 1958 provides several benefits and perks that are available to presidents after they leave office. The biggest personal benefit that former presidents are entitled to is an annual pension, which is over $200,000. Widows of former Presidents are eligible for a $20,000 yearly pension.
Additional benefits also includes:
1: Office Space and Staffing Allowances: Starting six months after a President leaves office, the General Services Administration (GSA) provides funding to establish, furnish, and staff an official office anywhere in the U.S.
2: Travel Expenses: Chief Executives and up to two staff members are reimbursed for up to $1 million in costs annually. Spouses of former Presidents also are eligible for up to $500,000 per year for security and official travel.
3: Health Benefits: Provided that they had been enrolled in the Federal Employees Health Benefits program for at least five years, former Presidents are eligible for health annuities, similar to all federal employees. (Jimmy Carter is ineligible because he only served a single term and did not hold another federal position.)
4: Funerals: Presidents are guaranteed a ceremony with full honors and the option to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
5: Secret Service Protection: Former Presidents and their spouses are eligible and can opt to receive lifetime Secret Service Protection.
However, Presidents who are removed from office through the impeachment process are no longer eligible for the pension and benefits provided in the Former Presidents Act. Lifetime Secret Service protection is provided under a separate law so this benefit would not be impacted by removal from office.
Pardon? Looks more like the shaman has a hardon 😂
@John Hohensee Trump is love, Trump is live. ROTFLOL!🤣🤣🤣
He won’t pardon them because they are antifa
@justsomeguy true. Not only do they lose their right to 5th amendment, they might HAVE to testify. They could lose they’re 2nd amendment too. 😂
This would be a pure perversion of the constitution…MAGA…puke…
@Justin Koeberl It looks like Jack riddle is simply a troll looking for attention. It’s best we leave him alone, stop replying to his posts, and allow him to Simply Lament underneath the bridge she crawled out from.
@math science lol…gotcha
@Jack Riddle you can pardon but you can’t pardon like this. There are legal limits on the pardon.
@Jack Riddle Whataboutisms … the only rebuttal the poorly educated can make. Obama pardoned poor people serving outrageously long sentences for drug possession……princess bone spurs pardons war criminals, traitors, white supremacists, pedophiles, and white collar criminals. Big difference.
@Landon’s Channel do as your told AOC red hats felons Harris released from prison with take care of you the inciting insurrection as elite cities brunt to the ground for months and the wite supremist meth Trump supporters as the first step to communism is silent the people use false flags and after the fraud and corruption to over throw a president and economy and the communist are coming after the constitution next as that’s a standing in the way of freedom
He already threw them under the bus in his speech, but it’s like they didn’t even notice lol.
@Emily Curewitz They can feel proud in prison
They heard it, but is in denial thinking he wouldn’t do them like that.
@cromanxx1 they don’t feel the tire pressure rolling over them
@WiseCentaur my point exactly
They are sponges squeezed dry doing all his dirt and hes cleaning the dirt up with them
Baretta said, don’t do the crime if you can’t spare the time.
@Steam fish White rice The problem with pardoning his family is that they have not been charged with a specific crime. If they accept a pardon then they admit guilt.
Trump can’t blanket pardon individuals without any charges made. These domestic terrorists have yet to be brought to trial and by the time they are scheduled to appear before a judge Trump will no longer be President. Timing is everything here.
@The Blade True, it would and he would do it but they have only been charged and have not been before a judge in court yet. They have to be found guilty and only then can a pardon be issued. Trump will be long gone before investigations by the FBI and all evidence is handled by a federal prosecutor and the defense teams. There just isn’t enough time for Trump to absolve his domestic terrorists.
@tecums3h
Unfortunately, a president can make blanket pardons. Nixon had not been charged yet with a crime when Ford pardoned him.
@tecums3h
I was in a hs civics course when the Ford pardon happened and our teacher made it a point of discussion. It’s a get out of jail free card for anything before the pardon. Only for federal crimes though. State charges, like maybe NY state, aren’t covered.
Can we get Ali Alexander to sing it for us! Sha boing boing!😂
God bless America, Democracy and Trump impeachment!
and God Bless President Biden!
Trump is setting the stage to pardon his family members, what a crook!
BIDEN PLEASE INVESTIGATE & EXPOSE THIS CROOKS!!!!
@Steam fish White rice Trump is history, and you folks show no interest in beefing up election integrity for the future, although that would be fulfilling Michelle saying we go high
@722Moo ALL TRUMPANZEES WILL BURN!
Screw democracy I don’t want mob rule!
Imagine what could have happened if these people weren’t so incompetent.
@muuuuuud They did have firearms, pipe bombs, and Molotov cocktails.
@Richard Bambenek YES! There are these HUGE stairs right next to them.
They probably would’ve flat out killed Ilhan Omar and AOC.
Markus Andrew that guy is a cop so he can do that. Right boot licker?
@The Wraith AOC was nearly attacked at some point, she said she cant say what happened yet because of security rules.
If he grants the pardon, that would be the pinnacle of evil.
Trump only sells his pardons and I doubt this guy has that kind of money.
although it could fall into the quid pro quo category of compensation..
MAGA committed murder and sedition there’s no negotiating or pardons for Terrorists.
So basically he admits he is guilty. LOCK HIM UP,
Hahaha +1
You would probably like my playlist..
That’s what I thought. Wouldn’t he then be admitting he’s guilty of “inviting” them which then implicates himself in his own trial?
don’t convict them until trump leaves office.
Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.
They say he can give blanket pardon. Like i pardon this person for all federal crimes until this moment. I think US consituition is written to help criminals.
@Rob Wright you can’t pardon terrorists.
You don’t have to be convicted or even charged to receive a presidential pardon. For example if he pardoned his kids and listed every federal crime they committed before they were even charged it would be valid. It’s really messed up.
@Brandy Courvoisier technically you can if the crime is federal. Now should he? Definitely not! However, the way pardons work is if they have committed a federal crime whether charged, convicted, or even under investigation they can be pardoned if the crime the pardon is for is mentioned.
The idea of pardoning a domestic terrorist?! Now I’m heard it all…
Please don’t euphemise it by calling them “knuckleheads and rioters” They are domestic terrorists.
@Not Necessary
Nope, you’re wrong. That’s false. Those terrorists were all trumpanzees.
@Not Necessary
So far all the terrorists arrested are trumpanzees. Which one are you referring to? Name?
@Brian Stanley
No,they’re terrorists.
Look up the definition.
They are knuckleheads. Domestic- terrorist-wannabe
@TJ Pardon? Looks more like the shaman has a hardon 😂
“He’s the most soft-spoken, calmest person you’ll ever meet.” – said by lawyer as footage of him screaming and pounding his chest airs.
🤔😅😂🤣
I bet his lawyer hates being alone with him.
😆😅😄😂😆
So… no matter what I do, as long as I’m “soft-spoken”, I should get away with it.
I see.
@PI T I would have a Body Guard with me.
@Beatrice Mitchell Exactly!
The fact they expect a pardon, proves trump planned it.
A pardon let’s ask the family’s of the 5 people who died if he should be pardoned.
Facts facts facts 100% treason domestic terrorist acts u can’t call it different wtf
Wait… you realize that some of them where rioters right? so their family potentially will approve that pardon…
“We love you… “ Trump
The next day: “these people don’t represent us, I STRONGLY condemn the violence” Trump
😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
He doesn’t care about these people. They were simply a means to an end.
Hahaha +1
You would probably like my playlist..
Just like pelosi used BLM and antifa kneeling on the steps, Americans are so gullible
Yup. Don the Con strikes again. and again, and again. It’s time for the Dem’s to grow some balls. Treason charges anyone?
@Lifeis Good Go away. You lost.
@Lifeis Good the analogy would work if Pelosi would have riled up BLM. Which she didn’t.
Trumps just got played.
(…then again, they’re trumps. They’re on this planet to be played. 😁)
“He was there at the invitation of the president “ and we know that is the only truth
And that’s why trump won’t pardon him. It’s like admitting he told them to commit the insurrection and Trump doesn’t take responsibility for anything.
Ouch. Nothing like the rioters’ lawyers making the senate’s case for them
