[Hoot Gibson]

“This thread is just another example of your inability to exercise any objectivity about Donald Trump. If you wanted to argue against presidential pardons, I could respect your opinion. But, to criticize Trump for issuing far fewer pardons than recent Democrat presidents is just pure partisanship. In no way has Trump abused the pardon power unless you believe that Obama and Clinton were worse abusers of the pardon power.“

I’m not arguing his Quantity; just the quality.
But he is just getting started.


Hooter, you followed the Ted Cruz crawl to Trump.

This can’t be made up.

If you want to look at quality, lookup Mark Rich.

I think that it is finally dawning on you that you are the partisan Democrat hack that TRT and I have told you that you are. Anybody who trusts a political party more than their own eyes and ears is a fool. You are all in for the Democrats and CNN. I pity you.

If this ain’t pot calling the kettle black. 

I know you may not believe this, but I don’t support everything Bill Clinton did. As a person, he is abysmal.  

Another 26 pardons highlighted by  Manafort, Stone, and Kushner’s daddy.  Please keep defending the quality of Dear Leader’s pardons.

I'm not defending any pardon. Pardons are not normally issued to Boy Scouts (LTG Flynn being a possible exception). I considered Manafort a scumbag and criticized Trump for allowing him to manage his campaign. However, the only reason Manafort was prosecuted was his relationship to Trump. The feds had already declined to prosecute him for whatever crimes he had committed, so I think Trump had a personal obligation to pardon him.

I am not really familiar with the Stone and Kushner cases and I really don't care. Trump has a long way to go to catch Obama or Clinton and I doubt that Trump will pardon anybody less deserving than Marc Rich, the Puerto Rican terrorists, or the Mexican drug kingpins that Clinton pardoned.

If you want to continue to whine about Trump's pardons, then continue your hypocritical tirade. It is par for the course.
