Trump Pardons for Sale!

[Clipper]

He was pardoned for crimes he MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE COMMITTED. He admitted his cocaine use and evidence exists everywhere. Biden even made excuses for his addictions and pardoned him for falsifying federal firearms forms in order to illegally obtain a firearm. A crime that would have put YOU in jail. Again, educate yourself. SMH.

Again. When was he CONVICTED of drug trafficking, liar? Prove it or STFU.

Do you understand the word pardon?

When was he pardoned of drug trafficking, MAGA compulsive liar? Again. Prove it or STFU.

Do you believe that taking Mariguana for one's pleasure really a crime that shouldn't be pardoned?

Personally, no, but it’s still illegal federally.

How does a pardon of that nature compare with pardons for insurrection (using deadly arms - such as knives, guns, and steel poles), or pardons for people that have stolen millions by fraud and other illegal means?

It doesn’t compare. I just refuting your assertion that Biden only pardoned 80 people.

Also, nobody used a gun or a knife against anyone on J6. Maybe a flag pole, yes.

Nancy Pelosi has likely stolen millions through fraud. Tell ya what, we can put trump and Pelosi in the same court case, just get em both with one trial. Sound good?

President Trump’s Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches​

Yesterday, I described the final scandal of the Clinton administration: Bill Clinton’s midnight pardon of Marc Rich. If the Rich pardon was a snowflake, then the pardons of President Trump’s second term are a blizzard.

The scope and magnitude of Trump’s second-term pardons are unprecedented. Joe Biden granted 80 pardons in his four-year term, but Trump’s pardons make his predecessor’s look like a drop in the bucket. In the first year of the second Trump administration, the president issued 166 individual pardons, as well as a mass pardon that erased the verdicts of more than 1,500 January 6 Capitol rioters. In other words, even putting aside the rioters’ collective pardon, Trump is now issuing pardons at eight times the rate Biden did. Nonetheless, the fact that a president issues more pardons than his predecessors is not necessarily problematic. The real problem lies in the great number of particular second-term pardons that appear indefensible. Such pardons fall into five categories.



AI Overview

During his second term in office as of May 2026, President Trump has faced significant scrutiny for a "pardon economy" and the commercialization of the presidency through various high-priced products. Critics and investigations highlight a pattern where wealthy individuals, often donors or business allies, receive clemency that wipes out billions in court-ordered debts. Simultaneously, the Trump family has reportedly "pocketed" nearly $1.8 billion in cash and gifts since his 2024 reelection, driven by digital ventures and merchandise sales.

This is breaking (going against) the Constitution:

AI Overview

Presidents are prohibited from profiting off their offices through two specific provisions in the original text of the U.S. Constitution, rather than a single constitutional amendment. These are known as the Emoluments Clauses:

• The Domestic Emoluments Clause (Article II, Section 1, Clause 7): This prevents the president from receiving any money, benefits, or "emoluments" (other than their established salary) from the federal government or any state.
• The Foreign Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 8): This forbids any person holding a U.S. office of profit or trust from accepting any gifts, payments, titles, or offices from foreign kings, princes, or states without the explicit consent of Congress.

but the reality is this:

How much did Hunter pay? Oh yeah, nothing. It was his daddy.

 

[braalian]

I'm still not likely to vote for Trump again.

Yeah, no shit. He can’t run again…..

 

[Crepitus]

?? I thought he was running for a third term?

pouty face

That would be unconstitutional.

You know this, why play dumb?

 

[MagicMike]

Trump should let the autopen give a blanket pardon to EVERYONE REGISTERED AS A PUB ON ELECTION DAY 2024.

That is not what pardons are for. That is bananna republic, corrupt, despot shit.

Darlin’, we have no reason to believe comatose Joe had any knowledge of the pardons granted under his autopen signature.

 

[Concerned American]

That is not what pardons are for.

Only when Biden does it, eh?

When was he pardoned of drug trafficking, MAGA compulsive liar? Again. Prove it or STFU.

I have never claimed he was convicted of drug crimes. He has been convicted of three felonies relating to a gun purchase and falsifying documents related to HIS ADMITTED DRUG USE. Now run along, child, your temper tantrums and lying on the floor kicking and screaming are not doing anything to promote your point. LMAO BTW, drug crimes are some of the crimes he 'may or may not' have committed.

Hunter Biden was pardoned for federal criminal offenses, including those he was convicted of, as well as any other offenses he may have committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. This pardon was issued by his father, President Joe Biden, just before Hunter was set to be sentenced for his convictions.
