I don’t want to hear no complaints. This is who America wanted.

If Trump had pardoned his family that's all you would hear about from the alphabet news channels. Their silence is deafening.

How about the Biden pardons for his family and entire J6 panel?

[Harvst]

Don't forget the BLM Antifa riots, people died, property destroyed. Yet you don't talk about it.

CNN should start being Journalist and interview the Jan 6 prisoners.

I found it remarkable when Joy Reid asked Adam Schiff if he had ever heard of someone getting a preemptive pardon when they were innocent and Adam Schiff, having received a blanket pardon that day, he said, "No."

Biden is the definition of “rules for thee, but not for me.” See ya later Joe, good bye, and good riddance.

[johnrafferty]

But not shocked that brandon pardoned everyone ever

Hey Grok, can the president issue a pardon to US citizens that have not been convicted of a crime?

No, the President of the United States can only issue pardons for federal crimes under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which states that the President "shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." This power is generally understood to apply only after an individual has been charged or convicted of a federal crime. Pardoning someone who has not been convicted or even charged would not fall within this legal framework, as there would be no offense to pardon.

The greatest challenge of this world is knowing enough about a subject to think you are right, but not knowing enough about the subject to know you are wrong…

[lwilliams]

Such hypocrisy- let’s talk about Biden’s pardons as well…

The unedited security video Tucker Carlson played for the entire country showed Liz Cheney & January 6th committee to be liars

[quartertim]

I was a democrat for 40 + years… the party left people like me we didn’t leave the party.

[bodyman]

Why is CNN not done a story on the lawsuit that they have to pay out to the veteran

[eugenereeves]

You can never call Trump a liar he has said for 4 years he was going to release them.
BTW Van Jones is a crybaby

[GaryBoyd]

How can you be shocked. Once again he told you what he was going to do.

[Dr-]

These people will never move on from 2020/1

[MrOnwisconsin]

He now has shown that you can commit crimes so long as its in his name.

Day 1 and CNN is back at it. How long should be stay in jail from trespassing??? How many "violent offenders" are walking the streets of NYC right now and never spent a day in jail? I hope they all file lawsuits for their civil rights being violated.
