#Pardons #Presidential #NBCNews
How Presidential Pardons Work | NBC News NOW
Flynn represents a broken justice system. Judge Sullivan must get clever and prevail for the rule of law
For an innocent man? Why do you want to harm someone that is innocent? Leftist hypocrisy?
Eeny-Meeny-Miney-Mo!
Catch a trumpanzee by its toe.
The good news is Biden won’t pardon Donnie.
Yea but it doesn’t sound like he’s going to pursue prosecution either. All in the name of “unity” he’s gonna let all those crooks skate.
@Winston C SDNY will take good care of him and his kids. No pardons for state crimes. Democrats are weak anyway.
@Winston C not true . if the new AG decides to prosecute Biden will not interfere.
No, but Q-tip Pence will after Trump resigns a la Nixon.
I can see why presidents and governors are granted pardon powers, but why SO MUCH pardon power? So, Trump could theoretically pardon an entire prison in California on his way out, just for spite, and it would be perfectly legal?
99% of Trump’s base aren’t even aware of Flynn’s corruption with Turkey. Fox News never mentioned it to them.
Our system is broken if Trump can pardon someone who worked for him that is conflict of interest
Or your mask has been on too long… Get some oxygen to your brain, it will help.🤷♂️
73 million people voted for that man!! He made a mockery of the presidency! Shockingly scary! Then again… “some men aint looking for something logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied,reasoned or negotiated with.they just want to watch the world burn.” (Alfred in the dark night). But seventythree f… ing millions???? If the electorate of the USA was one person and went to a shrink he/she would be diagnosed with a bipolar personality disorder bordering on schizophrenia! But hey dont take my word for it… I am just a humble german history buff. Things can really go sideways if a people votes the wrong man into power…and in comparison this dude is rather a mild hick up in history. All the best… well done ( the sane part of the population that is)
99% of Trump’s base aren’t even aware of Flynn’s corruption with Turkey. Fox News never mentioned it to them.
Was he prosecuted for corruption or for perjury?
99% of Trump’s base aren’t aware of S**t, even though it stinks!!
What took 44 presidents to build in 74 years, took one man to destroy in less than 4 years.
How did he destroy it 😭🤣
Solange Page In 74 years, we’ve had just 13 presidents, t’rump included. You are just confused, but Jurko Vids just can’t understand the damned damage donnie done did.
@Jurko Vids He’s an impeached one term failure. Maybe that’s plain enough English for you, Vlad?
@Jooj his impeachment was a failure and joke 😂
@Jooj he did more than Obama and Bush 😂
Make sure you end it with “it benefits the president” we really want to hammer that one
He should pardon Larry Hoover
Ed Snowden must be pardoned!!
Why?
@Rosie Hugh Snowden had exposed what is now ruled illegal – the domestic surveillance of phone records – which the US government lied about way back when, that they don’t spy on their own citizens. So Snowden’s act of whistleblowing and leaking of classified documents is justified. By doing so, he was defending American freedom and rights to privacy.
LameDick Impeached President should not have power to pardon anyone.
What took 44 presidents to build in 74 years, took one man to destroy in less than 4 years.
@easyasdell only by imaginary leftists communist standards… 😎👍🤪
@Marseilles Vieux I’m not a leftist. Have fun on all fours Phylum!
👍🏽💯🌊🇺🇲🌊🇺🇲🌊🇺🇲
@easyasdell 😉I did not call you a leftist, if you were educated you would have understood…😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It took over 200 years to build. Took trump less than 4 to tear it down.
@S. Lee Mccauley you are mistaken, leftism has destroyed and is destroying America. Prove me wrong.
.
Show me where
in the Federalist Papers
or elsewhere
that the framers of our
UnitedStates Constitution
_ever_
contemplated that which is placed
before us –
namely, a President
granting the pardon
of a coterie
of traitors, co conspirators
_and psychophants_
.
*You show me where.*
.
On the contrary –
in excluding the possibility
of pardon for impeachment
does in and of itself
suggest that the framers intent
was to hold those responsible
for their acts
when those acts
were violations of the public trust.
.
It should also be long remembered,
these articles of confederation
were written long long before
the duel
was forbidden by law.
.
Were it ever the law today
we might find the avarice
of cruel and ignorant men
constrained either by steel
or by lead.
.
.
For the love of anything and everything…..We need to lock Trump up for the safety of humanity.
@easyasdell define crazy. If you don’t understand the Constitutional rights of America, you would be the crazy one… 😎👍👆🤪
@Marseilles Vieux fabrication??? It’s a law. I’m not about to teach you what that term means. I’m just going to let you stay ignorant.
Biden is your next President and Trump will be a convicted felon.
@BidenWins flew right past you, huh? I said nothing about you fabricated anything. You are only parroting your beloved leftists MSM… You believe blindly whatever they tell you with zero critical thinking? 🙄😬
@Marseilles Vieux yet Equitable Tolling will turn on Trump and there is nothing you can do about it. And to top it off, You President is Joe Biden.
You GD sore loser.
@BidenWins 🤣 me the sore loser.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good one! Little do you know you are rooting for your own defeat. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Let me summarise: just the power you want to hand to an imbecile criminal mobster.
President #45’s Reign Of Corruption in the White House is almost over. The Fat Lady is finishing her song and the Orange Pumpkin’s Show will soon be over and it will be time to send the Delusional Narcissist Orange One home to Mar-a-Lago on 20 Jan., 2021 where he will deal with 50 years of operating a Shady New York Real Estate Business and Slander Lawsuits from women he called liars while serving as President Of The United States.
Traitor pardoned by an even bigger traitor. Are they gonna share a bunker now?
Proof, and not parroted information from MSM…
Pardons are part of the system that is broken.. Leads to corruption…
…And stems from corruption.
@easyasdell well said..
POWER hungry men will interpret the CONSTITUTION to fit their own DESIRES….
What an interesting constitution you Americans have.
I’m sorry 😞 Trump needs to go to jail for tax invasion ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Could you explain what what “tax invasion” is.??
You better sit out your jail time like Michael Cohen and when done you can walk with head held high.
The system isn’t broken,they built it to their liking.When the US has 6% of African Americans and 46% of them are locked up,yeah it’s not broken
You need to talk to Biden and Kamala about that. Maybe they could repeal their racist policies.
It is like a insult to be pardoned by Trump and a curse for the rest of his life losing all his friends and family that looks to him with contemptuous eyes.
Trump, Who will NOT Pardon Others, Must NOT Himself Expect Pardon….

A bunch of bull
This is my question though..
Flynn was prosecuted for lying to the fbi. But there was other crimes I believe he could have been prosecuted for many of which was dropped with the plea deal..
But, trump pardoning him probably isn’t surprising to anyone and the prosecutors probably knew this was a possibility. So, if they just overlooked a few, would the pardon cover him?
Rambo was granted the most famous pardon in history

WHO made up all these rules?
They must have been looking out for themselves and nobody else.
Almost sounds like they’re playing a game of cheats.
…Absolutely, Same as when they said “All Men” are created equal. 🤔💯👍🏽
Does Trump care how pardon (or law) work ? You cannot do anything to US President
Dictator’s rule
He’s setting up ‘favours’…
What happened to no one is above the law?
https://youtu.be/vfBD0JpeKEw
Trump maybe a some what bad person but he pardon some people so i hope the favour is returned and he get a pardon for him self cause we not perfect we all fall short of the glory of GOD goodluck trump👍only GOD can judge🙏
Thank you.
Sounds Like A King’s Power.
The executive has the unilateral power to break the judicial system while keeping the legislative in a pet like position. Makes perfect sense… In a shithole country
The pardon power must be removed, it just allows presidents to put criminals above the law.
So how would a person obtain a pardon then?
Let pardon Biden from the election!

“TRUMP WILL WIN” President Trump Legal Team Hearing On Pennsylvania Ball… https://youtu.be/Dc-HQyBm8GU via @YouTube Very important for our country and our democracy!!! Bias media above, well listen to the attached link and you decide!!! Americans stand strong!!!!!!
AMERICAN PATRIOTS..
IN LEGITIMATE AND LEGAL BATTLE FOR
VICTORY 🇺🇸…
Congress and the senate or all top law makers need to sit down and agree to ammend the pardoning law. It is flawed and times have changed since it’s inception. It basically gives the president power to be like a king and override any top level criminal case and like what happened with Trump, a president can easily send his goons to commit crimes on his behalf with the promise of parsoning them. At least have a limit of maybe one pardon per term. Then the president can think carefully before throwing pardons left and right as he wishes.
Trump Trump Trump Trump best president ever God bless Trump God bless America

This particular pardon just proves that Trump did steal the 2016 elections with the help of Russians. And Once he is outta the White House for good, all those investigations he managed to stop, will start again. Better get used to prison, Trump. Maybe start loosening up your back door with the help of a carrot and some oil, eh?
no video of todays 3 hours+ Pennsylvania Senate hearing packed full of evidence or the fact that a penn judge stopped the certification, video on NTD ,OAN OR NEWSMAX…you know the real news networks
Glad you are ACTUALLY giving some information about our US Constitution. The GSA can NOT appoint a president elect, neither can the legacy main stream media (including CNN and Fox). The Constitutional process needs to play out including recounts, legal challenges (including Dominion and other voting fraud cases), state certifications, and if needed US Constitution 12th Amendment. If you don’t start telling the truth about our Constitution you legacy main stream media are going to become COMPLETELY irrelevant! Tell the truth to your viewers, the US Constitution is NOT a Conspiracy Theory!
0:30 I quit my work thanks to, *p a i d t o b e h o m e .c o m*
If you want to do crime, just become POTUS.
To me a pardon is how those in power make themselves above the law and getaway with crime!!
We need to amend the laws. President has to served in the government before qualifying to run. No pardons
“The people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness…This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs when he first appears he is a protector.
…And the protector of the people is like him; having a mob entirely at his disposal, he is not restrained from shedding the blood of kinsmen; by the favourite method of false accusation he brings them into court and murders them, making the life of man to disappear, and with unholy tongue and lips tasting the blood of his fellow citizens; some he kills and others he banishes, at the same time hinting at the abolition of debts and partition of lands: and after this, what will be his destiny? Must he not either perish at the hands of his enemies, or from being a man become a wolf—that is, a tyrant?” ~Plato – Book VIII of The Republic

The CCP virus was created in a Chinese military virus lab. Then it was released. And used as a pretext to rig the American presidential election to the Democrats. Meanwhile, evidence shows collusion between the CCP and Joe Biden. Anyone seeing a linkagage?

Many versions, infact not yet know the result of lawsuit, keep rational thinking, we’re not alone………
The pardon power is one of several major flaws in the US Constitution. It’s ridiculous and corrupt that a president should have the power to pardon their relatives and their friends.
Of course there should be a process for appealing against injustice, but it’s corrupt and open to abuse and exploitation to put it in the hands of the president.
Some people offer the argument that Fords’ pardon of Nixon is a legal precedent that Trump can lawfully choose to apply and follow for himself. There is a big difference between a ‘simple precedent’ and a ‘legal precedent’. A ‘simple precedent’ is any novel deed or act that is accomplished for the first time. This could include, for example, being the first European person to scale a particular mountain or being the first person to have a pet seal etc. A ‘legal precedent’ is any novel claim or novel act of alleged legality which is argued and confirmed before the courts. If it is not confirmed by the courts it is not a legal precedent. Fords pardon of Nixon was a novel act that was never brought and argued before the courts. Had Fords pardon been tested before a courts it would have failed and been revoked. Congress also believed the Ford pardon was unlawful and wanted it tested and defeated by the courts. Ford manipulated and bullied his own Congress into letting his unlawful pardon remain uncontested. Pardons were designed only to pardon a convicted person from the consequences of a conviction. Pardons were never intended to be used to pardon anyone from being prosecuted or convicted. Due to this, an unconvicted person cannot be relieved by a pardon. This makes the Ford pardon a novelty but certainly NOT a legal precedent. If anything, the Ford pardon is an ‘unlawful precedent’.
I do not agree that a President can pardon pre-prosecution. As per above, the Ford pardon is not lawful and is not a legal precedent.
When it was decided that Presidents should have the power to pardon, they never imagined someone like 45 would be the one to wield it.
