Imagine being dumb enough to believe in the Russia hoax in 2024
This kind of simplistic child’s thinking is why our country is so fucked.
Nothing I expressed in that post requires believing in Russian collusion.
—Do we care about a POTUS dangling pardons like a carrot in exchange for people keeping silent about ANY of said POTUS’s crimes, or don’t we?
—Do we care about people, shady work in Ukraine or not? Manafort has tons. Manafort was literally on the payroll of Russian oligarchs.
—Do we care about tax evasion and financial crimes? Manafort was guilty of tax evasion, bank fraud, money laundering…. There were 18 criminal charges (including 8 felonies)—5 falsifications of income tax returns, 4 failures to file foreign bank account reports, 4 counts of bank fraud, and 5 counts of bank fraud conspiracy…far, far more money involved than Hunter’s case, which involved money Hunter paid back long ago.
Manafort is one of the swampiest swamp creatures that ever swamped, but you guys DGAF—yet I’m supposed to give a fuck about this awful, terrible Hunter Biden pardon?
Some good points,
Also is GOP going to try and impeach Biden right now? if the roles were reverse Trump pardoned his son the vote would already been started. FBI would of raided every property Trump owns.
I don’t think that’s true, about roles being reversed. We had major problems with some of Trump’s pardons, including the Manafort one above, but we didn’t ray and impeach him. No one “raided his home” over it. We were concerned that the way Trump used the pardon essentially amounted to obstruction of justice—but is that even possible?
The Constitution says, “(The POTUS)
shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.“
So sure, I guess the Republicans could throw some flimsy it together and have a House vote and impeach—but what is the offense? Would never pass the Senate either.
@BFoe is the dumbest poster I’ve come across on here here and that’s actually saying a lot.
You know you don’t have to @ me every time one of my posts hurts your fragile feelings, right? You can just be butthurt quietly by yourself.
