Are Biden's issuance of presidential pardons going too far?

[Marener]

Nope.

Yep. You admitted that they gave Nixon a pass but not Biden.

 

[struth]

Two falsehoods.

First is that it's done to protect them from the law. No, it's done to protect them from political revenge.

Second is that it's protecting himself. It doesn't. If anything, it probably makes it more likely that anything he did could be charged since his family couldn't claim 5th amendment protections.

Prosecuting criminals isn’t political revenge.

So now you're done complaining about the preemptive part and now complaining about the "blanket" part?

The constitution doesn't limit what crimes the president can pardon.

It's both. It's preemptive, non specific.

There has to be a crime in the first place, something someone is accused of.

Where does the constitution say that?

Steve Bannon was a key strategist and adviser to President Trump during his 2016 campaign. He was charged in August last year with fraud over a fundraising campaign to build a wall on the US-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration, a key plank of Mr Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Prosecutors said Mr Bannon and three others defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors in connection with the "We Build the Wall" campaign, which pledged to use donations to build segments of the barrier and raised $25m (£18m). It was alleged Mr Bannon received more than $1m, at least some of which he used to cover personal expenses. He denied the claims.
As he was yet to stand trial his pardon is unusual, though certainly not unprecedented.
The White House statement said Mr Bannon had been "an important leader in the conservative movement and is known for his political acumen". It said prosecutors had "pursued" him with charges "related to fraud stemming from his involvement in a political project".

Trump pardons dozens in final hours, including ex-aide Steve Bannon

Donald Trump issues pardons and commutations for more than 140 people in his final hours as president.

You’re missing the point dumbass,

Trump pardoned someone that was carrying out orders that his administration ask him to and was voted into office to do by the voters. Who voted butthole sniffing Biden into office to use the DOJ to discredit his political opponent? You’re quite stupid aren’t you

 

[martybegan]

Yep. You admitted that they gave Nixon a pass but not Biden.

They didn't expect someone to come around and give out get out of jail free cards for ANY crime done for a certain term without any charges, indictment or conviction.

 

[rightwinger]

What have the leftist done for the past 9 years to trump you dumb twat

Trumps poor decisions are the cause of all his problems

 

[martybegan]

Where does the constitution say that?

The Constitution talks about pardons, the question is can you call what Biden has done a pardon.

Where does the constitution say abortion is a right?

Pretty weird thing to think when that's exactly what Ford did for Nixon.

Of course it's a pardon.

Unless you want to start redefining words to fit your purposes, it's a pardon. Do you want to go down that road? It's very Orwellian.

 

[Blisterfinger]

So you’re just guessing? You’re clueless. Tell me how the law can constrain the presidents constitutional authority to issue pardons just by thinking about it.

And no, apparently the public DOESNT have to know about government actions.

Your president is speaking, shut up and listen, you might learn something.

Nothing Trump says matters.

A golden age has begun for America. Biden the liar is gone.

And you guys say it's not a cult.

Listen to yourself.

Pardons are for when things were wrong or went too far
They are not designed to “protect the guilty” who have not even faced charges.
I’m not sure that presidential pardons can legally do that. Nixon pardons were for the nation. These are for his family and the henchman who put us through 1/6 , Covid and the Trump witch hunting.

I checked the constitution and there's nothing in there about what you think pardons are for.

 

[progressive hunter]

try using a dictionary,,

cant pardon someone unless theyve committed crime,,

 

[Tyrion234]

Well, if that ever happens the president can tell them at that point.

What if the president is dead at that point you dumb twat

 

[Blisterfinger]

These people he pardoned are subversive and traitors to the American people. It does make sense for Biden the liar.
