Trump Pardons George Papadoupolos And Former Congressmen Hunter, Chris Collins | The ReidOut | MSNBC
The mob boss is protecting his underlings. That’s all this is.
@Buff Straw This is about loyalty to my family. Do you not want the money fr your family? Congress is going to give it to foreign governments.
@Lucius Kiirus Americans don’t need more money and pizzazz to mush minds! We need our hearts and souls back 🙏🗽🇺🇸
President Biden, Congress and Senate should vote to Undo-Pardons which do not have Merit or Presidents who Pardon themselves should be Challenged! Otherwise this the biggest short fall of US constitution. Let’s raise our voice to be heard! Spread the word..
*TRUMP: Merry Christmas America! I am proud today to announce pardons for Hitler, Genghis Khan, Bin Laden, Joe Exotic & let’s not forget Putin who I don’t know nor never met* !
@Lucius Kiirus twitter is cheap policy. What hasTrump done to persuade his party to bring the covid relief bill earlier and with a bigger relie?. Nothing!! For month! He only takes care for this f**** election.
This is not how America is supposed to work. Its discraceful, its unacceptable and unsustainable. Why should anyone follow the law, if those responsible for enforcing the law, dont.
@Covfefe Yourself!, he knows that nobody would allow the American people to have that much anyway. The senate is too greedy and need to spend the extra money on their “extended lunches”!
@Mike DasilvaI agree. Otherwise why waste thousands if not millions of dollars on pursuing these criminals only to have the cases thrown out and the criminal set free to commit more inventive crime?
@E Theory You stupid liberals are HIPPOCRITS! Look what Hillary and all the others got away with! Dems are pathetic!
@Lucius Kiirus You have just outed yourself as a bot. Bye-Bye, bot! Here’s your last ruble from a true American!
@Mark Workman Trumpturds are the most pathetic!
Daily Reminder: Trump called Corona Virus a Democrat Hoax that will “magically” disappear.
Sure he did. Debunked.
@Lucius Kiirus Sounds good to me.
@Auntie Pha Thanks to China, but the liberals just keep on forgetting about that.
@Kimberly Winters come to china town -Nancy pelosi she also called him xenophobic for blocking China from trade
@Tim Kozlowski “Come on man! Loser Trumpanzee tears are delicious!” – President Joe Biden
This is embarrassing
Thats nothing he’s got Bannon, Stone and Sydney whatserface back at work in the west wing two actual convicted felons three if you count Flynn who’s giving him advice, Al Capone took more care to hide his guilt
There is no way the republicans will give him the 2024 nomination now no matter how many supporters he has he’s far too dangerous
Trump is a mobb boss
I do not think you can pardon Co-CONSPIRATORS.
Yes, joe biden is.
Dudes going to make some serious cash off them pardons. Just like his and Kushner scheme selling Chinese citizenship to the highest bidders. President of Law & Order LOL
Every pardon is done for money, follow the pardons, follow the money. Grifter gotta grift.
More like the President of fLaw and disOrder
Why don’t Americans have affordable healthcare, education and housing like they did in 1950s ?
… .
Benjamin Franklin wallpaper costs a lot of money to hospitals and insurance companies. Likewise for big pharma, and big medical instruments.
We should build a wall. But not to keep people out, but to be pock-marked with lead.
They’re too busy being a banana republic now.
Because suburban white people will vote for no one getting these things if black people should get them too.
“The love of money is the root of all evil.” Loving materialism ALWAYS destroys love for fellow human beings. You cannot serve God (who is love) and money.
Firstly, the rule of law must be restored, so that future administrations will act responsibly. Without that, there is no democracy. Without democracy, there will be no process for healthcare, education, or housing.
he’s saving his family and a “self-pardon” for 11:55am Jan 20
Yep, he will steal the limelight from Biden’s inauguration in causing the final FU to American democracy.
AGREED.
Clear message to Russia—“There are no consequences for American conspirators with Putin. Hack away…”
Trump is uncharacteristically quiet about Russia because he has been compromised.
Or: “There are no consequences for placing hits on American soldiers with Putin. Pay away…”
This is more important right now!
Trump HAS asked Congress to amend the stimulus bill and give the American people $2,000.00 EACH!
But, I thought Papadoupolos just got coffee. He ranks a presidential pardon? Hmm…
Adam Schiff is going to have fun questioning him under oath
He can no longer plead the fifth
Maybe it was really bad coffee?
@James Ricker Is it any wonder Trump can’t accept the results of the election?
If he was convicted and served his time, what’s to pardon? Maybe it’s time to ask !
@Joe Hackney Ya think?
THE RAIN HAS STARTED! (It’s going to start raining pardons.)
AGREED.
Criminal in Chief uses pardon to release his army of sycophants.
Trump is a disgrace to law, justice & human values!
Like Oswald Cobblepot being voted mayor of Gotham then pardoning Joker, Riddler, Two-Face, Catwoman, and Scarecrow on his way out the door.
So now he’s using the prison system to recruit his next militia of compromised corrupt felons.
Going to pardon every single person who was in Muller investigation SMH 🙄
Trump makes 3rd world countries look good. How embarrassing!!!
Potus is undeniably guilty of TREASON against the United States government and “We The People” of this country.
Post January let the judicial process follow, let the “LEGAL” punishment fit the crime.
And this person is not that bright.
A felon protecting his fellow felons.
Pardons “the coffee boy” who he never knew and says he lied. Imagine that.
Trump: “If anyone commits a crime, or federal offense, or a felony, terrorism, treason, etc…..it’s cool, it’s okay.”
“It’s a big club and you ain’t in it”
George Carlin.
What happened to “Drain the swamp”? It turned into “I’m the swamp”. It was obvious from the get go.
