If at first you don't succeed...

We got him this time.

You guys are going to start selling pardons, like Ray Blanton of Tennessee?

He must have been Bill Clinton's mentor.

House Report: Liz Cheney Should Face Investigation for Criminal Witness Tampering in J6 Frame-Up​

The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee and its chairman Barry Loudermilk on Tuesday released an interim report on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, concluding the attack was preventable and also asking for an investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney for criminally tampering with a witness during the Democrat-led congressional inquiry of the tragedy.

“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the report released by the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee and its chairman Barry Loudermilk stated.

"Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.," it added. “This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause."

Federal law criminalizes witness tampering of varying degrees, and subjects a defendant to as many as 20 years in prison.

The report also took direct aim at former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, Cheney’s star witness at the nationally televised hearings, alleging that Cheney encouraged false testimony about a handwritten document and noting her sensational claim that former President Donald Trump tried to commandeer his presidential limousine that day to take it to the Capitol was directly refuted by the Secret Service.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) said President Joe Biden should “very seriously” consider preemptive pardons for members of the House January 6 select committee after president-elect Donald Trump said last week they should be jailed.

Sanders twice called Trump’s recent statement “outrageous.”

“This is what authoritarianism is all about. It’s what dictatorship is all about,” the former Democrat said on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday morning. “You do not arrest elected officials who disagree with you, who undertake an investigation.”

During a wide-ranging interview with NBC News host Kristen Welker last Sunday, Trump said the seven House Democrats and two House Republicans who served on the January 6 panel “should go to jail.”

Comment:
There should be an investigation into the destruction of evidence by Pelosi's Jan 6 committee.
There should be an investigation into the death of the unarmed protester Ashly Babbitt.
There should be an investigation into the abnormally long prison sentences of the Jan 6 protesters.
Bernie Sanders is a paranoid left wing knuttjob.
Trump is not the "authoritarian".
In fact, what Trump is battling is the far-left authoritarianism of the corrupt Democrat Party.

A President can't give blanket immunity from prosecution. He can't grant powers he, himself doesn't have.
He can grant pardons for specific crimes they committed, have been charged with or are in process of being charged with and as a result they lose 5th ammendment protections for testimony.

His pardon of his son is NOT complete with being a salesman for access to the Office of his father or Obama. And he can be compelled to testify about those things and then be charged with the specific crimes he committed. SPECIFIC CRIMES MATTER IN PARDONS.

But things like Treason, insurrection, abuse of office, and etc....nope. He doesn't have that power. Related charges are a batch to try and cover in the future.

I do so like silencing the demofks in here.

A President sure can. Ford did it for Nixon.

The President has executive pardon power in the exercise of his office.

 

[lafayette]

Still threatening the president wow

And you did not threaten Obama and Biden? You Replifks are something else.

The only thing a POTUS can't pardon is Impeachment. Treason is unpardonable as well

nope, never. But you seem scared of Trump and need him gone, wow. Not too much hostility huh?

Nixon was not impeached. He was about to be and the House/senate had the charges ready to go and voted upon. Ford listed Nixon's crimes in conjunction with the specific charges he was facing. (Not to mention he did resign)

Granted, pardons and judicial judgements can be filled with flourish.
Like a 11-29 sentences. (11 months and 29 days....one day less than a year as a reference to a biblical standard of 40 lashes minus one) Which is what the "any and all crimes he possibly committed " is. A flourish included in judicial speak that has no real meaning or effect.

not often in here. see, you fkers are so easy manipulated by the media who hardly ever use facts for their stories these days and you believe them. So, facts you will most likely never have.

But he can't blanket pardon future crimes and convictions....they must be listed and specific.

What if someone committed some sort of physical assault but was a member of the J6 committee? Surely that crime was not included in Biden's pardon....which is why the pardon has to be specific....and what actual crimes they committed are not as yet a matter of record or admitted to.

 

[jc456]

eight years of failure. And you're still doubling down. There's a phrase out there, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is fking STUPID!!!!!!

Trump is but a bump in the road and will be dealt with legally and constitutionally.

Does not matter. None of it matters, You are wrong.
