@coldjoint,
“Anyone pardoned by Trump would lose most of the 5th Amendment’s protection against compelled testimony that might otherwise have incriminated the pardoned family member or associate, making it much easier for DOJ and Congress to require such individuals to give testimony that could prove highly incriminating to Trump himself,”

This will come as an enormous shock to all
Quote:
After years of denying allegations of lax financial oversight, the National Rifle Association has made a stunning declaration in a new tax filing: Current and former executives used the nonprofit group’s money for personal benefit and enrichment.

The NRA said in the filing that it continues to review the alleged abuse of funds, as the tax-exempt organization curtails services and runs up multimillion-dollar legal bills. The assertion of impropriety comes four months after the attorney general of New York state filed a lawsuit accusing NRA chief executive Wayne LaPierre and other top executives of using NRA funds for decades to provide inflated salaries and expense accounts...

Remember Trump supporters do not riot. Nothing has been burned, including police cars, nothing looted and no one murdered.

Antifa is just “an idea”- @JoeBiden


It’s time for us to end this idea.

@coldjoint,
Yeah, you might have been fooled again.

A left-wing troll fools conservatives once again with ‘antifa’ prank

Quote:
Right-wing Twitter users were fooled by an obvious prank on Tuesday after an admitted troll claimed that “antifa” was preparing to descend on conservative areas of the country.

The prank, carried out by political activist and performance artist Adam Rahuba, involved a tweet in which President Donald Trump was ordered to concede the 2020 election.

Rahuba admits on his personal website, disinformationartist.com, that his ultimate goal is to “exploit conservative bias and fear” by planting disinformation online.

While Rahuba had initially kept his trolling a secret, his identity was revealed earlier this year after the Washington Post found that he had been behind a fake antifa campaign to hold a flag burning ceremony at the Gettysburg National Cemetery in Pennsylvania.

I only searched "Adam Rahuba" and this was the first result.

Here is an earlier article about him from July 2020

Well, Anti-Fa is violent so it looked good. We may never know, and I for one will not have the WP tell me anything.

Not necessarily. Since his pardon doesn't cover state charges, they could plead the Fifth to avoid a hypothetical state-level prosecution.

Also, Mr. Trump is likely to pardon himself, so any federal prosecution against him will probably be a non-starter regardless of witnesses.

It's all academic anyway since Mr. Trump has not even committed a crime. The Democrats are just abusing their power again.

Judge Blocks Certification of Pennsylvania Election Results Until Friday Hearing

Quote:
A Pennsylvania judge has blocked the state from certifying the results of the presidential election until a hearing can be held on Friday.

Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough ordered the state to not go through with the certification of the presidential election that it announced on Tuesday and she blocked all other election certification results at least until she can conduct a hearing the day after Thanksgiving.

“To the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States of America, respondents are preliminarily enjoined from doing so, pending an evidentiary hearing to be held on Friday,” the judge wrote in her order.

“Respondents are preliminarily enjoined from certifying the remaining results of the election, pending the evidentiary hearing,” Judge McCullough added.

The lawsuit the judge is considering is from Republican state lawmakers against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Wolf (D), Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, and the Pennsylvania General Assembly. The suit alleges that Pennsylvania’s vote-by-mail stature—Act 77—is in violation of the state’s constitution.

A win for Trump, and a big one. What they did did violate the state and federal Constitution.

Bill... Seriously? “Flynn must now tell everything he knows.”
The man has just been pardoned for lying to Congress. Do you think he can be constrained to tell the truth now?
He probably feels like he’s invulnerable now. I think he’s not less likely to lie, but more.

@oralloy,
There is a lot of uncertain grey area if a US President can even pardon oneself. Especially as no one has even tried to do it.

Nixon was told he couldn't pardon himself, which led to his resignation. He was eventually pardoned by President Ford.

@Rebelofnj,
Those experts are wrong. The President's pardon power is unlimited as far as federal crimes go.

They are also wrong on the details of their argument. That nonsense about not being a judge in his own case is, well, nonsense.

The power to pardon is not a judicial function. It is an executive function. Exercising the pardon power is not "being a judge".

And as Mr. Trump is the executive, that power rests with him and not with anyone else. So there are no issues with limited government or separation of powers either.

Which one of you is smarter? Flynn was never charged with lying to Congress. Lying to Congress is what McCabe and Comey did.

This is why he stacked SCOTUS! But, if there is one thing a SCOTUS Justice must overcome is making a ruling that is inherently illegal. I fully believe a majority will be honest and not allow theRump to pardon himself!

Seriously, I realize he can still lie or refuse to answer. However, at the point in time he does lie or refuse to answer; and it is proven, the pardon will not protect him. He will go to jail and the judge will have every right to throw the book at him! Seriously, yes!
