#NBCNews #Trump #Indictment
I agree that this idea that anyone who can cause sedition and treason of the nature that Trump has committed against the people of America, not even considering the depth and breadth of other crimes that he has committed – even against those of his delusional followers who distressingly believe otherwise – would set a difficult precedent that a president, and his embedded cronies, can continue to transform America into an entrenched dictatorship; which Trump has shown that he openly admires. This whole exercise has had as its only benefit that it has helped to reveal many of the seditious actors performing within the USA. However, if they can continue to operate with impunity to turn America away from an as fair as possible and inclusive as possible electoral system then that will continue to devolve. Many of these actors are not acting in good faith and the people need to know where their allegiances actually reside or be able to remove those people who may be under foreign duress for whatever reason. The rot, as it does unfortunately, has set in, and it is the rotten who have the greatest ambition to enable the further continuance of this. Once those systems are broken down they become even harder to restore. So this do nothing, business as usual, notion is absurd. I apologise that here we have a purported fellow Australian who is touting such suspect stupidity. There is no reasonable argument in this world to allow such festering rot to continue unabated and unchecked.
Lincoln Republicans could defeat Trump themselves by running an alternative candidate for the good of the country and their party. They’d siphon off enough votes to prevent his election. Any Patriots out there?
No one person should have pardon power. If a person pleas guilty or found guilty how asinine is it that some governor or elected official can come along a forgive a convicted person and set them free. Get rid of that ridiculous policy.
Durham Report says FBI CRIME of Confirmational Prosecution on Trump was conspiracy to deprive Rights to Trump.
Why would Biden pardon Trump?
BOMBSHELL DURHAM REPORT Says FBI ‘s crime of Confirmational Prosecution on Trump violated US Code 18-242 is liable
So, the guy who has just about zero chance of being elected is contemplating pardoning Chumpo? And I should care why?
Federal Discovery Rule. Trump Discovered in Durham Report FBI crime Confirmational Prosecution violated his rights.
Trump deserves jail time and will always be a threat to America
I am SO sick of hearing that letting the Dumpster get off scot free for all the laws that he broke as somehow “healing the country”! It’s BULLSH!T! How is NOT enforcing the law going to make the country better? It will just mean that the next president will be WORSE because he knows he will get off!
Death by a public hanging on the Capitol lawn is the only justice.
We gotta vote for trump we cannot take no chances
Trump 2024
problem Biden will not make it look at him and now the pesky 20 to 30 million In bribes by Biden
Just a side note. Trump is still popular with the base and in the GOP because the elected GOP and right wing MAGA cult members keep feeding them misinformation and deflections so they are not exposed to the actual facts. Until that is fixed Trump or any GOP can actually do anything and nothing happens to them. Nobody is going after Trump like going after one’s predecessors and stop giving excuses and rationalize Trump’s alleged criminal behavior. Danielle always do her double speak and betrays herself supporting the ugly and vile Trump and his MAGA nonsense.
Pletka is a whatabouter. Sorry your opinion doesn’t wash.
Thank you, Maria for a reasonable voice. Don’t invite Pletka back. Nonsense.
Biden is going to jail. I want my tax payer money back. His is a thug
Trump winning
Let’s heal the country by releasing a criminal
That lady is so naive if she seriously thinks Biden pardoning trump would do anything to heal the country….. So much for all that education…
*CHUMP DERANGEMENT* 🤡
*CHUMP20TOLIFE* 🇺🇸🇺🇸
False! congressional Republicans investigated Clinton’s server 11 times, wasted hundreds of millions of OUR tax dollars on their wild goose chase, and it was found she committed NO crime, period!!!
This is crazy! The trial has started yet and they are talking about pardoning Trump. For all we know Trump appointed judge may throw the whole case out or even delay the trial.
Very silly discussion by these media heads “Yes I shot that guy on 5th avenue but don’t prosecute me because Joe Blogs was not charged for involuntary manslaughter (i.e. Hillary Clinton) u guys don’t make sense. he did the crime but we should prosecute him because he’s Donald Trump, and this is politics, listen to yourselves.
I would ask every GOP nominee if they would pardon Biden if Biden was convicted of a similar crime.
The GOP have been backing off Joe Biden. Because the proof they have been spouting may not be true! And may not have even existed at all to begin with.
Apparently the FBI or Justice has no such evidence and they are questioning whether the witness has been truthful at all.
Yes Hunter Biden is in trouble and it looks like they have tax evasion charges against him.
Yea, dream on. The GOP stands for
one principle—– double standard.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
If you became President of the United States, they would not be the UNITED States, dude!
Well he wouldn;t heal the country while letting that crook get away with his crimes.
If Trump gets pardoned. Kiss democracy good bye! It would be incentive for the next guy,or Trump himself. Trump for 2028. Oh please no!
Why don’t all Trumps followers just come clean and admit they wanna blow him??
NOTHING is gonna come of this with Trump and you know how I know? Cause this will create a precedence and once that’s created they can after Biden, his son, Hilary Clinton and anyone else in office who is corrupt. The politicians won’t let this happen, just watch!
The way to heal the country is JUSTICE!!!VOTE BLUE ALWAYS AND FOREVER VOTE BLUE AND SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY!!!!
We demand justice!! One standard of law!!!
bull***p
He has 0,0 % chance, where is he talking about? Another daydreaming Fascist.
ok nixon at least stayed relatively humble when he broke the law and thought of the country first! Trump is a totally different animal
Fool. Trump won’t give you any money
😅p L’s
Law is law to whoever. If DJT is convicted he goes to prison along with Clinton. But DJT did not pursue because they can’t prove enough violation was there to convict her. Whoever breaks the law they go to prison, it is as simple as that.
How can pardoning somebody who more than half the country doesn’t want heal the country?
A PARDON WOULD BE UNACCEPTIBLE! It sends a message that supports irreverence & disrespect towards our constitution/legal system. Reporters need to explain the seriousness of Trump’s flagrant disregard for these laws & the outcome it may have on we American citizens!
Yep!! I can’t believe he said that.. What a traitor!!!!!!!
Hillary Clinton fully cooperated with the investigation. Yes she did destroy supposedly personal emails but trump could of taken photos of the documents but all he had to do was return them and he wouldn’t have been indicted.
He refused to cooperate. He refused to return the documents. That is why we the people need to seek justice
why is the relay bad powerful guy always shielded and spared from consequences. It is a failure of justice to even contemplate giving him a get out of jail card. If he did the crime he should do the time. everybody should treated with Justice sometimes its better to do the time.
ANY Republican saying that they would even CONSIDER granting Trump a pardon, has guaranteed that they will never be the President of the United States.
A Presidential Paedon only applies to Federal Offenses, it would not apply to Georgia, the Constitution grants that authority to the Governor of the State the criminal offense was committed in.
IDIOTS!!!
The REASON Hillary wasn’t charged was because at that point, it was NOT illegal to use a Private Server and she had ZERO classified documents on it, at this point, it is illegal. Laws have to catch up with technology, they can NOT anticipate it.
Daniela Pletka is full of lies about Hilary email issue…
This was a complete waste of airtime 😡😡😡
D listers round table discussion
NO…..no one should pardon trump. There must be serious consequence if there’s ever to be any deterrent to the next corrupt or unhinged potus, or any official for that matter. We can’t be the idealistic country she suggests unless we actually were a country without crime……which we’re not by a long shot. Also GOP is completely gone off the rails now and anything goes, so they will continue to spitefully go after the other side. This country NEEDS and deserves justice to restore some morale and reinstate some semblance of rule of law.
Anyone commentator who thinks pardoning trump will heal the nation needs to change their profession. Talk about not paying attention to the People!
. Pardon a criminal for what, he should do his time for committing the crimes. Period. These reporters are idiotic nut cases and thank the heavens they have no power.
Independents are the majority in this country! We are 50% of voter’s Democrat’s and Republicans are each 25% in 2023 based on registered voters! It’s time to put Independents in offices and fix this countries problems!
That blonde chick is dead behind the eyes.😬
lie on tv
A masterstroke might be to let the trial and eventual conviction come, Biden pardens the document charges, but lets all other investigations continue without issue. Trump would be pitied and rescued by his bitter enemy, Biden would win favor for “healing” the country, and Trump would still face plenty of charges elsewhere. I still absolutely want him held accountable, don’t misunderstand.
Trump must be held accountable. These MAGA’s are still lost. Make America Great Again means it has never been great. I grew up believing America is great and will always be great. DO YOU SEE THE BIG LIE NOW!!!!! I HATE TRUMP!!!!!
Bidens puppets at NBC
What’s with the blond woman in the oversized glasses? She can’t handle listening to the other person trying to engage in a discussion on whether Clinton’s email server rose to the same level as Trump’s traitorous acts. She just interrupts and talks over him. Must be a Republicon. She becomes visibly agitated when the guy tries to correct what the report said re email server.
Trump is a criminal and a traitor who belongs in jail, at least locked down with no means to communicate, never again to walk on any stage.
Okay! A company provides products and services throughout the world. The company has to keep detailed records of all those dealings. The dealings include strategies, cost, warranties… The CEO of this company, along with upper management and support staff, we’ll call them the old administration, were voted out by stock holders and replaced. The new administration doesn’t have it’s records of all past dealings because the old administration believes, those records belong to them. This case is turned over to the courts.
Your opinion is for the new administration to pardon the old. What!
You let Pletka voice Republican lies about Hillary and did not fact check her. You just let it blow by. Shame shame
I’m so impressed with the moderator’s ability to generate a fresh and interesting conversation after days of nonstop coverage of the indictment. The interjection of the news about the No Labels announcement helped but mostly it was the panelists’ very candid responses and willingness to amiably disagree. Bravo 👏
Beware of NO LABELS. It is funded by GOP mega donors in an attempt to take votes away from Biden to help Trump win. That’s the GOP playbook. Steal and lie to win. Despicable!
This Pletka woman is insane! She’s wrong! Trump has to be held accountable for his crimes the same as anybody else in this country! To treat him differently because he’s a former President is sick!!! The rule of law has to apply to all! They’ve already given him special treatment in every way! Anybody else would have been in jail months ago for doing what he did!
6:22 Sorry Aussie, she was not charged because she did try to keep them nor hide them. Trump did. If you are going to argue this be honest and accurate.
11:08 What is up with this panel? They keep forgetting their thoughts. Are they having strokes?
We the people want to see Donald Trump lock up. He is a menace to our society.
Trump is a traitor & cheater & grifter & tried to overthrow the US Government. Please – you can not pardon him. Especially if he has been tried & sentenced by a jury.
You’re guest does not know what she’s talking about. Hillary was not being looked at for espionage.
Wrong ! They will not consider Manchin.
Right Maria !
Biden shd not pardon Trump. That’s insane
This white supremacists mess is anti democracy Trump is anti democracy and their leader
MAGA Danielle is nut 🥜
A neoconservative, Pletka staunchly supported the Iraq War, holds hawkish views on Iran, defends the use of torture, and rejects the scientific consensus on climate change.
I need to hear what Biden says on record. If he says he will pardon him I will stay home.
No one is above the law…if he is found guilty by a jury, he should NOT get a get out of jail free card or a pardon!
WHY DOESN’T THIS STATION COVER BIDEN AND HIS CORRUPTION!!! I USED TO THINK NBC WAS THE BEST CHANCE OF GETTING ACTUAL CURRENT EVENTS,,, NOW I SEE THEY ARE JUST AS BIAS AS FOX!!!
I ‘think’ the politicians AND the voters are looking for a copout. “A pardon to heal the country”? Is that some kind of sick joke? If we are talking about justice and nobody is above the law then LET THE LAW BE ADMINISTERED! Otherwise we no longer have a country or a society.
IF YOU PARDON TRUMP.. IT WON’T HEAL THE COUNTRY.. IT’LL CAUSE ANOTHER RIOT.. CITIZENS WONT STAND FOR IT!
I am sure that if Trump were President he would pardon Biden to heal the country! LOL
If Biden pardons Trump…the next day Trump would be on Fox News talking about what a weak chump Biden was to let off a perfect criminal.
SUAREZ! WHAT A TRAITOR.. IF YOU WANT TO HEAL THE COUNTRY THEN PUT TRUMP IN PRISON YOU COWARD!
Pletka is a fascist ideologue dressed in the sheep’s wool of intellectualism. Her argument is the definition of specious; that because we uphold the law in this circumstance then we will forever be forced to pursue our political opponents in court? It is simply her desire for Trump to be unfettered as he runs in 24. She is the most dangerous type of American and should have been called out as such at this table.
This former president’s story is the same as South Africa’s former president i.e zuma. They both are currently charged with crimes that will see them end up in an actual prison. They’re both spending most of their months in and out of court rooms. The South African former president has already spent time in prison for defying it’s constitutional court and will go back to complete that sentence. Trump will be no different. There is a high probability that he will end up in a federal prison.

Really…the guy is a criminal, don’t vote for anyone who would pardon a traitor and criminal.
bus loads of criminal illegal migrants keep coming from our southern borders
poor American workers are paying for their housings , food stamps and medical
That intent to pardon does not make LEGAL sense. Trump is a traitor and a CRIMINAL !!!!!
There was no documented access to her server. Sorry big glasses lady!
Biden should be put in Siberia
3:00 “No president has acted the way donald trump has” ummmm Joe Biden did the exact same thing lady.
Leftist propaganda again.
What a biast channel this is
Heal the country? pardoning a criminal POS. what a load of crap
IT’S A FACT OF NATURE:
NO JUSTICE
NO PEACE
STOP WITH THE SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS
START RESPECTING
RIGHTS
REPRESENTATION
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS WITHOUT SUFFERING FROM MORONS WHO HATE
usa is becoming castro’s commie cuba
Pletka couldn’t be more wrong about both what would happeb if Biden pardoned Trump and the Clinton case. Bad journalist.
“No Label” is hugely sponsored by Harlan Crow (Clarance Thomas’ very generous friend) which should tell you all about their goals you need to know: to split Biden’s vote and re-elect Trump.
Imprisonment
Lock him up for life and take away any means of him broadcasting his BS
