Eastman pardon request

[Bflat]

Why didn't Trump pardon Eastman?
Why did Eastman put his request for pardon in writing?

[Peerie Maa]

Because Sdkidmark is an aerosol, and Eastman is an idiot?

[LeeG]

Eastman wasn’t macho enough for Donald.

No pardons = If I go down I'm taking you all with me.

BINGO!! And you know TFG will blame everybody including Kremlin Barbie if it comes to it.

"Fifth... Fifth... Fifth..." One hundred times. His contempt was so rampant that he would not even speak a whole sentence.

[John Smith]

As far as pardons go, I'd like to see the president non pardonable. It really bothered me when Ford pardoned Nixon while all those who worked for Nixon did time.

No one is going to pardon Trump, I don't think. I'd just like to see it not possible legally.

[Todd D]

I suspect it was because from tRump's perspective Eastman didn't do anything for tRump. In other words Eastman's scheme didn't work, so tRump owes him nothing.

Remember that whatever the Democrats do to the criminal Republicans, the Republicans pay back ten fold. I have never seen any reason for indicting Clinton other than payback for Nixon.

ok that’s a better explanation than mine

[Canoez]

At this point, there’s no evidence that Trump pardoned anyone for actions relating to January 6th or the election/subsequent claims.

if anyone can show there were any, I would like to hear about it.

Eastman didn't offer to pay enough money
Things are pretty simple with trump

donald, and maybe Eastman genuinely thought donald would win, having swallowed their own propaganda whole?.

If accepting a pardon is a tacit admission of guilt then pardoning someone for doing something for you makes you guilty too, right?

That sounds right. Why do you suppose Eastman put his pardon request in writing? Sure makes it harder to deny that he made the request. Was he just careless?

No pardons = If I go down I'm taking you all with me.

Perhaps Eastman's putting his request to trmp in writing is a message that if he, Eastman, goes down he'll make sure trmp does too. Pardon me or I'll help them nail you to the wall.

ooooo

"divine right of kings, in European history, a political doctrine in defense of monarchical absolutism, which asserted that kings derived their authority from God and could not therefore be held accountable for their actions by any earthly authority such as a parliament.

That's probably true, but it's not an excuse for failing to hold people accountable.

That said, we have a very poor history of holding rich/powerful people accountable. Ford Explorer rollovers killed over 400 people. Both Ford and Firestone knew what the problem was but declined to address until forced to. NO ONE WENT TO JAIL. The BP rig that exploded, along with dumping all that oil in the Gulf, killed a number of people. The rig never passed safety inspections. NO ONE WENT TO JAIL.

I don't know how to change this, but it needs to be changed. My protest was to tell the judge, last time I was called to jury duty, that I'd not convict poor folks as long as the wealthy don't even get arrested. It was also known at that time that Project Innocence found, when they could get DNA to test, proved over 1/3 of convicted people were innocent. Prosecution must have lied.

Trump said - just the other day - that if elected in 24 he'll pardon everyone convicted for Jan. 6th activities.

And then he won’t have to pardon anyone anymore as that would pretty much be a declaration that Murica is done with the rule of law and providing for the general welfare.

Which, according to a Republican Congressman, is an impeachable offense. (Dangling a pardon or pardons to get elected.)

I think that might only apply to an incumbent. One not in office cannot be impeached.

It was specifically in reference to a presidential candidate, as it was a quid-pro-quo intended to get votes. To become the now impeachable incumbent.

Think of TFG promising pardons for those guilty of illegal actions against his political opponents to get him into office again. I’m sure there *should* be incitement charges against whomever made such promises on the campaign trail to actually incite such behavior by followers, but we know already that it will be dismissed as “free speech” and “legitimate political discourse”.

[Osborne Russell]

Day after the pardon Eastman goes on TV and says, "Trump is a real jerk, believe me, I know. Here's a bunch more illegal stuff he wanted to do. I know because I explained how it would work."

Trump should worry that Biden will pardon Eastman, and/or other notables. "Fifth" boy would have to change his tune.
