Trump pardons former campaign chairman Manafort, associate Roger Stone

The "Law and Order" president.

White House pardons for sale, just swear fealty to Donald and send him a check.

During the case, Charles Kushner admitted to smearing his brother-in-law, who had cooperated with prosecutors, by hiring a prostitute to have sex with him in a motel room, then sending a secretly recorded video of the encounter to the man’s wife, Charles Kushner’s own sister.

Loathesome people like this will find another way to join Trump in prison someday.

Criminals go free as long as you love Trump.

This is exactly why he was voted out.

 former adviser Roger Stone

Stone's another swamp creature made more infamous during the Trump era.

Is Stone still pushing the North Korean boats delivering ballots to Maine story? How's the Trump Wall Stone proposed coming along? Though Stone's been a thug for the Republican Party for decades, he's got even greater notoriety and perhaps wealthier serving the thug in chief. Corrupt Trump has been a magnate attracting corrupt people from every sector around the globe.

This is exactly why he was voted out.

And he was also voted out because millions more Americans are being sickened by the virus - which he and his admin completely bungled -, hundreds of thousands are dead and the count increases daily, a healthy economy Trump inherited is weaker than it's been in decades, millions can't pay rent and are standing in food lines, the rest of the world sees the US as a joke - a dangerous joke with as many nukes as Russia - among dozens of other reasons.

Disgusting. Still reeling from the news of the Blackwater war criminals.

How low America's standing under this monster of a leader.

And in the meantime, he orders executions with wild abandon, and presides over 300 thousand dead.

Thinking of the families of all the victims of this Presidential virus.

Well, I’m just happy, they were pardoned. That’s all I have to say to that, great jo, Mr. President.

Well, I’m just happy, they were pardoned. That’s all I have to say to that, great jo, Mr. President.

You are happy that a man guilty of tax evasion, witness tampering, making unlawful campaign donations and ruining his own dear sister's marriage to save his own skin has been forgiven?

How desperately you must be tired of losing to even consider this some sort of victory.

America became great again because she survived even under Trump.

Perhaps chickenhawks would cheer on war criminals. Personally I think those found to have committed war crimes, who murdered in cold blood like the Blackwater thugs did should spend the rest of their lives behind bars. And chickenhawks have zero sense of fog of war. Or anything else connected with combat.

trump is hoping to get the criminal organization up and running again. Now he has a newly released mercenary hit squad to try and help him.

The country with over 300,000 dead, the economy in shambles, the government hacked, and divided by his efforts to subvert democracy is learning what New York already new about the trump family. They are untrustworthy scum!

All the pardons in the world will not help him overturn the election, nor will it erase his impeachment from history!

@Bass

Well, I’m just happy, they were pardoned. That’s all I have to say to that, great jo, Mr. President.

You are also happy that "Mr. President" pardoned four men that killed 14 innocent people including women and children!

I am really confused by this right to pardon without oversight thing.

It doesn't seem like how justice should be. How are people accepting that ?!

Manafort is as good as dead. He won't last long.

Well, I’m just happy, they were pardoned. That’s all I have to say to that, great jo, Mr. President.

Is this a new low among the Trump worshipers? Probably not but wow this is just outright sad.

bass4funk: "Well, I’m just happy, they were pardoned. That’s all I have to say to that, great jo, Mr. President."

Sure! I mean, why wouldn't you back a president pardoning people who slaughtered innocent civilians and confessed to being foreign agents, or people who have clearly bought their pardons. Trump put to death another black man incarcerated as a young teen, but just fully pardoned people who killed DOZENS of innocents. Why would you NOT support that, right, bass? Glad to know you support selling out your country.

@expat

A pardon means either "guilty as charged" or "strongly suspected of having engaged in a felony.

A pardon requires that a person admit guilt or has been found guilty!

Disgraceful. A very good reason for doing away with presidential pardons altogether.

What a bunch of salacious, slimy, septic-tank dwelling scum...

Con-men, murderers, and Russia-worshippers...

Or in other words, Friends of Donald...

If Ted Bundy was still alive, no doubt he'd be next...

Manafort will soon be dead. Pardon or not.

At least they spent their last days in jail.

Please provide evidence of your false narrative and attempt to deflect.

From fast and furious to the private email server to the false and unverified dossier, to the text messages and plot attempts to overthrow this President etc..

Also remember when cheered that the deaths associated with coronavirus was "Biden's problem now" after trump lost the election!

Soon it will be Biden’s problem, that’s true, so after 1/20 any and all criticisms associated with this virus will fall on Joe’s lap.

Is this a new low among the Trump worshipers? Probably not but wow this is just outright sad

Oh, stop. The vitriol from the left against this President was off the charts, seriously now....

Trump's final pardon will be for himself has he turns the lights off on the way out. He's planning an ALT inauguration.

Probably right.

Manafort will soon be dead. Pardon or not. 

You can make that claim about all of us, we all live on borrowed time.

At least they spent their last days in jail

He’s a free man now, all that matters.

Trump promised to remove the swamp. Instead it grew in size and bad smell.

He tried to, but they were too sneaky and now they got their wish, he’s out. Now it’s going to stink like a minefield of rotting skunks.

once again surprising me! So you finally agree that J. Biden will be the next president?

No, I really, but he probably will be.

That's quite a step forward in the right direction! As for Trump, as always he doesn't (or maybe this time does) know what he is doing.

Lol, yeah he does! ROFL!

Trump pardons former campaign chairman Manafort, associate Roger Stone

Don´t know about the Manafort guy, but Roger Stone was arrested in a CCP style propaganda raid, charged with process crimes in an illegal kangaroo investigation, based on faked documents. It is high time he got pardoned.

In a sane world the people who should be in jail are the swamp creatures behind the various "Russia", "Ukraine", "Impeachment" etc hoaxes. But alas, they are strong and many.

Trump promised to remove the swamp. Instead it grew in size and bad smell.

He tried, but the swamp creatures are strong, and many, and have big tech tech media on their side. Now it looks like the swamp drains him.

Well, in disappointing news for fans of “law and order” the case against Hunter might as well be dropped. Obviously you wouldn’t bat an eyelid if he were pardoned in future.

the case against Hunter might as well be dropped. Obviously you wouldn’t bat an eyelid if he were pardoned in future.

Doesn't look like it will be, not for long time...

I would, but it’s every Presidents prerogative to pardon anyone they want, that’s just how our system works.

Great system America has. Someone can be elected president, abuse the system with their cronies, then pardon all their cronies, and very likely (try to?) pardon themselves at the end, ensuring no one faces any punishment for abusing the system.

Remember when Americans used to go on about how the American system of democracy is best? Yeah right. I think not. Talk about a gong-show. It's literally institutionalized corruption.

I hope history will instruct us with one of its not infrequent lessons in irony on how to reboot the Republic's tattered democratic institutions and reform its corrupt two-tier justice system after a serial scofflaw president egregiously abused his anachronistic, regal power of pardons to obstruct justice in order to stay out of jail. Precedent must be broken by Biden's USAG to investigate and prosecute to the full extent of the law the slimy trail of Trump's criminal conduct. Not to do so will only confirm the hollow ring of shop-worn bromides such as, "nobody is above the law", "equal justice under law" and, "a nation of laws, and not men". American patriots must ensure that this MIA president will continue to remain securely MIA after he's evicted, for the sake of America's reputation and future recovery from the cancer on the presidency.

Well, I’m just happy, they were pardoned. That’s all I have to say to that, great jo, Mr. President.

Well, to repeat a question Americans have heard before: have You no decency, Sir?

There are also CEO's of Big Tech who do support Trump.

'Big tech' is just another alt tight term like 'the media', 'deep state', 'muh Russia' and so many others. It's used by the alt right unable to reason beyond a meme heard or read on Breitbart, OAN, Qanon or one of their other outlets, outlets that don't use 'big' words. When parroted those terms show the speaker is one of the herd.

Lev Parnas, Giuliani and the Texas AG is next.

Great system America has. Someone can be elected president, abuse the system with their cronies, then pardon all their cronies, and very likely (try to?) pardon themselves at the end, ensuring no one faces any punishment for abusing the system.

Yes, it's a disgrace! Yet Trump must be green with envy to hear that his Machiavellian Kremlin groomer has written for himself and signed a neat piece of legislation that will grant former presidents of Russia (i.e., himself, "El Supremo") lifetime immunity once they leave office, including immunity for their (crime) families from prosecution for crimes committed during their lifetime. And to put the icing on the cake: they will also be exempt from questioning by police or investigators, as well as searches or arrests. Now that's chutzpah that even Trump is powerless to emulate! We should at least be grateful for America's small mercies.

I would, but it’s every Presidents prerogative to pardon anyone they want, that’s just how our system works.

So you spent all that time cheering on trump reducing the military but always knew Congress and the Pentagon wouldn’t allow it.

Then you spent all that time getting excited for Hunter’s arrest, but always knew he’d get a pardon anyway.

Seems like you wasted a lot of time.
