In his latest attempt to whitewash and distort the reality of his attempt to rig the 2020 Election Results and the domestic terrorist attack he enabled at the Nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021, American Duce Wannabe and Twice Impeached Donald Trump pardoned several of the nefarious figures who helped engineer that heinous plot following Joe Biden’s victory.
Among the Hall of Political Shameless that received pardons for their crimes were Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, and Sidney Powell.
The American Duce wannabe also appeared to overstep his authority by granting pardons to individuals across several states, including Arizona, involved in various fake elector schemes.
Here is the thing. Presidents can not pardon people who were accused of crimes in any of the 50 states.
Commenting to Blog for Arizona on Trump’s interference with state prosecutions, Richie Taylor, Communications Director for Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, wrote “These pardons will have no impact on the state’s case.”
Reacting to the Trump pardons, Senator Ruben Gallego posted:
“Trump’s message is clear: help me steal an election and I’ll pardon you. Consider that the invitation to try again.”
Third Way’s Senior Communications Director Kate deGruyter commented to Blog for Arizona:
“In Donald Trump’s America, the power of the presidency is used as a weapon. He’s sending a clear message: protection for anyone who will rubberstamp his lies and extreme agenda, and prosecution for patriots who defend the Constitution and the rule of law. I want to note that instead of spending the weekend working a huge health care cost hike, lower skyrocketing energy costs, or lifting a finger to help Americans make ends meet, the White House was stewing over the fact that they lost the 2020 election, fair and square.”
Democratic Consultant Rachel Bitecofer posted:
Make no mistake.
The people Donald Trump pardoned are criminals and traitors like he is to the American Republic, Constitution, and Ideal.
It is a stain on the majority of the people who, despite the impeachable crimes and treason committed by Mr. Trump, turned out and voted for him in 2024.
This is another example of why the Republicans do not deserve the designation of being a law and order party.
Remember Remember the Sixth of January and the Traitors Who Enabled and Participated in It.
Never Forget.
