REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers?

 

TRUMP: Sure

 

REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon?

 

TRUMP: Well, I don't know

 

 

 

Dementia.

Trump is just being Trump and this will an interesting 4 years. I was hoping he wouldn't pardon "all" the rioters, except 14 Proud Boy members that were released from prison and I assume will be pardoned in the future.

 

This is going to be a fun ride!

Trump being Trump is no excuse, dude!

It might work a little in his insane speech.

But pardoning violent criminals who assaulted police officers when posing as a law and order president is an ACTION.

DISGUSTING!

Ok. You just forgot to post a link to this confession. Got it.

 

Look it up yourself.  Considerate it an exercise in personal growth, holding your nose and clicking outside the MSM. 

 

Otherwise, you're arguing with half the facts.

 

[dinsdale]

I think it's a given to say that The Hill will run with this story as a negative move by Trump and Biden's 11th hour pardons as a positive move by Biden. Fact is the majority of the Jan 6 protesters were non-violent with huge prison terms handed out to them and it's these that will get pardons and Biden's 11th hour pardons are to protect the guilty from federal charges. If the people Biden gave pardons to are innocent and have nothing to answer for they don't need to accept the pardons. BTW a federal pardon does not protect the person from state law processes.

Hmmmm...  Does that include murderers of FBI agents?

 

The FBIAA — which represents more than 14,000 active and former FBI agents — characterized Biden’s decision to allow Peltier to serve out the rest of his sentence in home confinement as a stab in the back to the bureau and its employees. Peltier was convicted in 1977 for the 1975 murders of FBI Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He sought to get out of prison repeatedly before Biden, on the final day of his presidency, commuted his sentence.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) has sharply criticized President Donald Trump for issuing broad pardons to nearly all individuals charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Total complete hypocrisy!

Show us where Trump has stated that those who were violent will get pardons. If you can't it's time for you to stop going on about it as your posts will be seen as little more than unfounded nonsense.

Trump's pardon is a slap in the face for every law enforcement officer who was trying to protect the Capitol on January 6.

 

The Secret Service is supposed to protect Trump. What kind of message does it send to them?

Rubbish. They are as likely to think imprisoning most of them was as much an abuse of the justice system as I do.

That was a blatant act of revenge, not of justice.

 

The message the Secret Service get is to do their job and not almost let him get killed like they did before.

 

 

There are lot of butt hurt loosers whining on AN at the moment. One hopes they don't keep it up for 4 years like they did the first time.

Biden is issuing pre-emptive pardons to protect innocent people from persecution. None have been indicted for anything.

 

Trump is issuing pardons to violent criminals already in jail.

 

See the difference?

Why do 'innocent' people need pardons?? You don't pardon innocent people?

OK - up to you.  I think it entertaining and easy to get over for me.  Not overly concerned about your mental health but you need to take a break from AN if you want to make it to the next election in 4 years.

 

 Your hatred is disgusting if taken seriously which sane people do not. Hope you stick around to remind us all how crazy the last 4 years were with "FAR" left zealots seemingly controlling the democratic party and losing support of people like me.

Jonathon Turley explains that quite nicely.  Paraphrasing, the Biden DOJ was so egregious in their harsh treatment of the J6 protestors that they opened the door for Trump to overcorrect.

 

Turley, on “America’s Newsroom,” suggested that while he had wanted accountability for those “responsible for the riot,” the DOJ’s overreach made Trump’s pardons reasonable.

Had Biden's DOJ only gone after the bad actors, Trump would have probably pardoned none of them.  It's not as if he's a soft on crime Dem...

Democrats and Hollywood celebs Supporting defund the police was a slap in the face for law inforcement officers... were you as vocal about that....or only when its Trump?

[WDSmart]

Yes, I agree... a "grotesque display" and abuse of power. But this is just the start. We'll have to endure things like this for at least the next four years.

At least they served some time. Probably too long, a few months would have been appropriate.

 

Unlike Hunter, who got a free pass like the rest of the Biden Crime Family.

I've never encountered a group of people who are so proud to be ignorant and so determined to stay that way and not to get the other half of any issue.

And I'm not using "ignorant" as a pejorative.  By definition, ignorant means I don't know.  I can correct that.   But only if I am willing.

Sure, I am referring to the clown shoe who is signing presidential pardons for violent thugs without even understanding what he is actually signing.

 

That said, he doesn't seem to understand much. Only yesterday he thought that Spain was the S in  BRICS. Maybe a dementia check is in order.

No. It means Trump can't weaponize the DOJ to invent crimes against them, thus satisfying his vindictiveness.

It was the criminal justice system working the way it should, with criminals.

 

The message the Secret Service get is this guy is not worth taking a bullet for.

 

The correct spelling is "loser", which only illustrates your own status.
