Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/20/2021 2:09:47 AM

President Donald Trump announced late Tuesday night that he had pardoned and commuted the sentences of 143 people in the final hours of his presidency.The president issued 73 pardons and 70 commutations.The list included pop culture figures, including rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, but also included many non-violent drug offenders.The president did not pardon Julian Assange or Edward Snowden, two whistleblowers that illegally shared America’s intelligence and national security secrets. The two individuals enjoyed bi-partisan support for a pardon as their supporters had hoped that the president would ignore the intelligence community elites and prominent members of Congress in Washington who were deeply opposed to a pardon.

Let be honest, not pardoning Assange and Snowden is a disgrace.

Fine with me. I trust his judgement and it's not like the Clintons didn't pardon criminals and terrorists.

#2 it is my understanding that Trump wanted to pardon Assange and Snowden, but POS treasonous McConnell threatened him with conviction of the impeachment.

Tucker Carlson reported last night that if Assange and Kiriakou were not pardoned, Cocaine Mitch would not proceed with the impeachment. Kiriakou is still in prison. I'm not familiar with him or what he did, but Tucker said he and Assange revealed the truth to the American people.

From my point of view, I want to keep the President on the back burner for a 2024 run if he feels he is up to it at age 78. By pardoning people like Assange and Snowden, this would cause voters to take pause in supporting him again. As it is, the capitol building break-in would be warmed over by the left to further destroy him. However, by then, the dims will have created such a rage over the socialization of the country that many dim voter will turn on them that even 2024-vintage election fraud can't overcome. More importantly, the Aftershock will most certainly have stricken America by then and hungry out of work and broke Americans will be handing the dims their heads on a platter.

Assange was a bit of a creep but didn't deserve the hell he has been put through already. Snowden showed up the NSA for the perverted little peepers that they are.

So many of these pardons and commutations were for the oversentenced and / or non-violent crimes where the person has genuinely repented. I noted the pardon granted to a group of WellCare executives who were hounded out on specious charges starting under Bush and then under Obama. And BRAVO to the two pardons given to Steve Bannon and the other witchhunted person.

At the end of the day....WE must trust President Trump's judgment...he always has a plan in place....I am reminded of what chuckie schummer said... when President Trump took office... about... don't mess with the intelligence community... they can get you in a hundred ways... or words to that effect... this list of pardons only proves that point...as to his family not getting pardoned...the lefties will be out in fresh air now if they persecute the Trump family...no amount of censorship of the news from obama/biden will be hidden...especially since the media has no one to torment now....whatever will they do?

There's a great (satire) post by Babylonbee criticizing Republicans as so dumb, they rioted in DC and didn't get any wide screen TVs. I'll bet Trump is like that... 143 pardons and no big cash payouts in return.

This goes against the grain, but the link between Manning (stole classified files in a theater of war).and Snowden (took USBs and laptops out of a SCIF and then defected to Russia) is none other than Assange. None of them deserve a pardon.

“First lady Jill Biden apologized for her recent comments comparing latinos to breakfast tacos at a Hispanic conference in San Antonio, Texas,” reported Fox News on July 12th. I’d say producing a tourism commercial to boost the income of the terror-sponsoring regime whose lifelong obsession is the destruction of the nation Jill Biden presides over as First Lady is much worse than the taco quip—especially when this tourism commercial was co-produced with a KGB-trained spy who was booted from the U.S. for espionage.

Smith birdied his first three holes, picked up three more around the turn and then holed from 60 feet for an eagle on the 14th

Arizona prosecutors are seeking a prison sentence for a former Democrat mayor who has pleaded guilty to ballot harvesting in the 2020 primary election. Former San Luis, Arizona, Mayor Guillermina Fuentes, a major local Democrat operative, pleaded guilty last month to felony ballot harvesting after having been indicted in December 2020. Another Democrat operative, Alma Juarez, was also indicted at the time and pleaded guilty in March of this year. Ballot harvesting is where political operatives collect ballots from voters and turn them in on their behalf. Arizona officials made ballot harvesting illegal in 2016.

House Democrats have passed two measures that would codify abortion into federal law to counter the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v Jackson, which returned the power to regulate abortions to the states. The first bill, titled the Women’s Health Protection Act, was written to shield health care providers and mothers seeking to terminate the life of pre-born children from any state restrictions. The legislation passed in a 219-to-210 vote with zero support from Republicans. The second bill is titled Ensuring Access to Abortion Act and would protect mothers who cross state lines from receiving any penalties for breaking state laws. The measure passed 223 to 205.
