Fmr. U.S. Atty: Trump’s last-day pardon is ‘violation of the rule of law’
The New York Times reports new details – and broad implications – about Donald Trump’s decision to pardon a convicted drug smuggler with ties to Jared Kushner. Barbara McQuade tells MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell how Trump issued pardons “is prologue for what can happen in the future.” Andrew Weissmann says Trump would wield pardon power to “undermine” what America stands for.

On Morning Joe, Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-CA, says there’s “no credibility” to recent attacks from the GOP that Democratic candidates are communists. He calls the Republican strategy “desperate,” saying: “they’re trying to latch on to anything” as an unpopular war in Iran drags on and the White House faces low approval ratings.

‘A Cursed Era’: Anand Giridharadas on When Jordan Neely and Daniel Penny Met on a NYC Subway
In 2023, a former Marine strangled a homeless Michael Jackson impersonator to death on a New York City subway. The story became national news, as Americans chose sides, either demanding justice for another Black man’s death at the hands of a white man or defending the actions of a former soldier who said he believed he was protecting the car’s passengers. Anand Giridharadas chronicled this deadly chapter in American history and its aftermath in his latest book Man in the Mirror. He dissects the divisions that have been spreading in the country in this – as he calls it – age of estrangement. “In a case about dehumanization,” he says. “I wanted to humanize everybody. ”

Donald Trump is the only president to leave office with less money then when he went in. And he donated his salary. The Clintons and Obamas were worth hundreds of millions more when they left office. So no, Trump wasnt selling pardons children.

Don’t commit crimes. Then you won’t ever need a pardon.

so what will become of all donald's friends inc roger stone, mike flynn, and others who were pardoned without serving ANY consequences for their convictions? if these are determined as unlawful, they should be reversed.

Mr. Trump is correct for he was never legally elected in ‘16 or ‘20 Russia made a deal w Moscow Mitch GOP w NRA in Russia for 6 months Planning This coup d’etat for Russia to share power via Trump in White House & President Carter Publicly Said Trump was illegitimate Bc Russia Interfered in ‘16 Election Hack & Carter Called for the DOJ To Thoroughly Investigate and hold those accountable under the Laws of Constitution

I've said it before, Trump Republicans are the LEAST American of us all. The gaslighting that they are the only true Americans and then support dictator Trump is a total joke. Don't allow them to say these things without setting the record straight.

Trump violated the rule of law ALL the time when president, and Congress did NOTHING. Why? Because there are enough treasonous, fascist leaders in Congress, so it's the norm for leaders to violate law and ALL leaders ignore it.

Richard Nixon , pardon , covered , Spiro Agnew , and War Criminal Henry Kissinger , just one pardons cover " every-body " . Republicans haters sore/losers , What a maroon ! BOOGIES !
@hifinsword
December 22, 2023 at 10:03 pm
The Constitution and the Rule of Law never envisioned someone would not feel shame or act defiantly to negate either of them. The fact that the DOJ can be compromised by someone with no respect for the Rule of Law is a problem that must be stopped by Congress.

December 22, 2023 at 10:03 pm
what you are saying isthat somebody else gets to decide who the president can pardon. that is not presidential pardon. Their may be a process in place. It does not mean the president is obligated to follow it. Ford pardoned Nixon immediately'

Trump has for his entire life made a mockery of our laws and justice system. Every day he proves that there is a two tiered system, one for the rich and powerful and one for the rest of us. The DOJ won’t even take action when Democracy itself is under attack! Trump and all his elected republican accomplices in the coup attempt would have been immediately arrested and imprisoned in any other country on earth! And yes! That is following the rule of law!
