BFM this Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I'm curious, and a first swing with the Google machine yielded few results: That's quite a few pardons for people never charged. Is this normal? Just something that we haven't heard of because it wasn't newsworthy? How many times has this happened in the past? I know that Presidents sign a lot of pardons in the 11th hour of their term, but what percentage are for uncharged individuals? 2
uninformed Posted January 20 Posted January 20 BFM, not normal at all. The optics for Biden's legacy is terrible. It's almost as though he's trying to drive has approval ratings to zero. Maybe he's doing it to punish the DNC for dumping him. Or, maybe he had no idea what he was signing...his family members probably offered him an ice cream cone if he'd just sign on the dotted line. 4 2
BashiChuni Posted January 20 Posted January 20 This picture sums up everything. Most corrupt administration in history. 2 2
Smokin Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Other than the ice cream bribe idea, which is disturbingly possible, the only explanations that make sense are: A- He knows they committed crimes that merit prosecution or B- He thinks that the judicial system is unjust enough to commit law-fare against political opponents of the party in power If A, then clearly the Biden Crime Family is as bad or worse than the right wing social commenters have said they are. If B, I wonder where he got that idea? Maybe the last 4 years of his administration had something to do with it... 2
ClearedHot Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I was flying my plane home from a trip today, at 1203 Guard came alive "We have been unburdened by what has been"...then EVERYONE jumped in...not a single negative comment. 7 5
TreeA10 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Classic projection. Biden knows what a corrupt DOJ could do because he did it. Therefore, he wanted to protect other Biden Crime Family recipients of the influence peddaling they benefited from. 3

WSJ did this reporting back in June. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/joe-biden-age-public-election-campaign-343a47bf Great, June. Where the hell were they in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and half of 2024? 1
Tulsa Posted January 21 Posted January 21 7 hours ago, ClearedHot said: No wonder a few of our stalwart lefts rage quit the forum. Per the logic and legal precedent stated above, those individuals named in the pardon would have to submit an approved confession to accept the pardon, right? I hope this gets squashed in the courts, such a dangerous and disturbing precedent.

You jest but this is probably the most accurate prediction. The halfwit can’t string a sentence together (hasn’t been able to since 2019), doubt he just woke up and decided to pardon Miley. His handlers made sure he did - which should scare anyone still in uniform how deeply entrenched the deep state is in the military. Can’t wait for DOGE to destroy the rot that has infested the DOD. 3
cragspider Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Coast Guard Commandant is the first one to fall, Lots of issues here. 1
ClearedHot Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Trump dropped 1500 Pardons last night...basically covered all the Jan 6 folks. Edit to add, he vaporized the security clearances of the 51 who helped cover up the laptop...LONG OVERDUE ACCOUNTABILITY! 3 5

uhhello Posted January 21 Posted January 21 https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/USCG-Staff-Update-for-Members-12.12.2454.pdf Interesting read. How anyone in the last 10 years thinks any type of cover up is going to stay hidden is beyond help.

His wife needs a pardon, she is the real criminal for letting it go on for so long. 1
slc Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I wonder when the (what will it be #3?) impeachment "attempt" will come about......
