I haven't seen much approbation of Biden's action. But the situations aren't parallel.So when Democrats give blanket pardons to people like General Milley and Anthony Fouci, and Hunter Biden, it is all good
Due to forum rules, I cannot bring up conversations on other threads. But on the topic of Biden's pardons, hers are some statements made by Liberals. I will not cite them to protect their anonymity.Nobody is saying this.
. I can go on. So much for, "nobody is saying this."Biden maintained the pardons were a defense of democracy and the rule of law. Stressing his belief in legal institutions, he condemned the intimidation and threats faced by public servants. While controversial, the pardons underscore Biden’s parting message to protect those he believed were unfairly targeted.
Sorta like Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter just days before his sentencing, smiles!The directive came Monday in a letter from acting deputy attorney general, Emil Bove. It was not immediately clear how Danielle Sassoon, the acting U.S. Attorney, would respond.
Adams has pleaded not guilty to a five-count indictment that accused him of accepting years of luxury travel gifts in exchange for, among other things, persuading the fire department to approve the opening of the new Turkish consulate in Manhattan despite the lingering safety concerns of inspectors.
Adams has spent time with President Donald Trump recently, including meeting with him in South Florida and attending his inauguration.
So when Democrats give blanket pardons to people like General Milley and Anthony Fouci, and Hunter Biden, it is all good because it is to protect them from Trump's retribution, but when Trump calls to drop investigations on a Democratic politician, the pearl clutching begins.
What goes around, comes around. Trump won, so let him cook.
Not really. Hunter Biden is guilty. Adams won't be tried.Sorta like Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter just days before his sentencing, smiles!
You have me mistaken, I think Adams should rot in jail, just like many other Democratic politicians. I am just point out the hypocrisy and the pearl clutching when the shoe is turned onto the other foot. I am not defending Trump, but showing why liberal objections are invalid.You are right.
President Biden's blanket pardon was controversial; however, liberals and Democrats supported the decision. In fact, many Democrats considered it a positive step. Now, some Democrats are concerned about President Trump engaging in similar activities. Can you see the inconsistency here?
Are you not doing the same? You have expressed concern about President Biden's blanket pardon, yet you seem to have no issue with President Trump dropping charges against his political allies.
Those of us who do not identify as Democrat, Republican, liberal, or conservative are tired of the double standards exhibited by both parties. If we, as a country, wish to progress, we need to cease these petty tit-for-tat exchanges and address issues directly and honestly.
No. I am not saying it is okay. I am saying, given the actions from Democrats during the Biden and Obama terms, what on earth did you expect?In other words, weaponizing the justice system is acceptable now because my candidate won the election.
Neither will Milley and Fauci be tried, but they were pardoned nonetheless.Not really. Hunter Biden is guilty. Adams won't be tried.
For what? They were never charged with anything or even detained, arrested, what-have-you.Neither will Milley and Fauci be tried
You said, "Adams won't be tried."
For what? They were never charged with anything or even detained, arrested, what-have-you.
When did pardoning people become "weaponization of the DOJ?" Let me guess, since Trump took office?In other words, weaponizing the justice system is acceptable now because my candidate won the election.
It doesn't matter. Because Trump let him off the hook, it is a grave injustice. But if a Democrat give blanket pardons to Hunter, Milley, and Fauci, he is "protecting democracy."
I'm not going to defend the pardoning of Hunter, but there's an obvious difference here in that there was no quid pro quo for Biden in his pardons, whereas Trump is horsetrading with Adams.What goes around, comes around. Trump won, so let him cook.
Nobody said that.How is it that pardoning people is now "weaponizing the DOJ."
Did you read Ms Sassoon's letter? She explained that very point - if prosecuting people for political reasons is "weaponizing the DOJ", then agreeing to not prosecute them for political reasons is also tantamount to "weaponizing the DOJ." It's the other side fo the same coin.You said, "Adams won't be tried."
I said, "Neither will Milley and Fauci be tried."
How is it that pardoning people is now "weaponizing the DOJ."
No, the US Attorney made that argument very clearly in her letter.Nobody said that.
