    1. @Top Hat Patience. Death will claim her too. Dementia 45 is overdue for another “regular” trip to the hospital. We can hope huh? Does the pardon thing only work for Republicans? Be honest.

    2. @october71777 Why are dems so quick to wish death on others? I think that says a lot about you and why your party is not in control currently. It only works for dems also btw Trump pardons=18 compared to Obama’s thousands of pardons. Can’t even try to trump Obamas work.

    1. Marilyn Reallon As Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth has determined that the U.S. government is responsible for doing 9/11, the prosecution of a Rod Blagojevich has served as a smokescreen for the crimes of Murder and Treason by the Federal Government. The job of both Patrick Fitzgerald and the FBI was to create this smokescreen.

  1. I live in Illinois. Maybe he should ask the people of the state he screwed. We are ranked #2 in state corruption. If you let him go early, they will never learn. Keep him locked up.

    1. @facts not feelings send it You just wrote a sentence filled with nothing but empty abuse. We must conclude this reflects your own character, such as it is.

    2. @facts not feelings send it What was said was said, and the conclusion is what it is. You don’t have to be PC to write a comment with some substance to it. And if you’re tired of people bashing your President you must brace yourself. There’s much, much more where that came from.

    3. @Vlodec and the comments I responded to where from self righteous judging types.. I will give you respect for being civil

  2. Trump is showing criminals associated with him that he will pardon their crimes if the get caught. Remove Trump from office before the rule of law is completely gone for the rich and powerful. Poor people will still be punished.

    1. DAWAJ YOU ARE ONE OF THE REASON ABORTION IS LEGAL IVE NEVER HEARD A MORE MORONIC STATEMENT IN MY LIFE I HOPE YOU DONT PLAN ON HAVING KIDS BECAUSE IF THOSE KIDS ARE EVEN HALF YOU THATS TO MUCH FOR THE REST OF US

    2. It’ll be very interesting if he does release pedos, if only because you can see he releases people like himself. Is even Trump that dumb?

  3. Bad Tan, is on a Roll..the Republicans have released their Monster…😉🤗..
    And they cant reel him in.., Bad Tan, is too far gone..

    1. What makes you think they don’t support every crazy thing he does? Occasionally one or two Republicans will say “that was bad” then vote for him anyway.

  4. Something needs to stick when it comes to getting this orange POS out, I mean JFK seemed like a better person and look where he ended up.

  5. The president selling clemency, reminds me of the Catholic Church selling forgiveness or redemption. THE corruption stare us in or eyes and we can’t see it, or don’t care to

    1. @Robert Blackford here we , don’t u understand there is no court or justice to prove anything against the powerful wake the F up

    2. @Philip Teague to be honest with you both parties are after the same agenda, both are manipulated by same puppet master

  6. His associates are laughing every time they’re sentenced because they know Trump’s gonna pardon them. He’s a modern day Al Capone!
