Margie Greene Says She Wants A ‘Blanket Pardon’ – The Internet Asks ‘Is That A Confession?’

To express her outrage over the pardon President Joe Biden gave to his son, Hunter, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) declared yesterday that she wants a “blanket pardon” when Donald Trump retakes office next year.

On Twitter/X, Greene posted, “If Democrats are going to play the pardon game then we should do the same thing. Trump can just blanket pardon all of us too.”

Reportedly, Greene begged Trump for a pardon before he left office in 2020. That’s according to Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, who told the House Jan. 6 committee in 2022, “I heard that she asked the White House counsel’s office for a pardon.”

Greene denied Hutchinson’s allegation, calling it “gossip and lies.”

But the Georgia Republican’s latest reference to being pardoned left many wondering if she had just accidentally confessed to having committed a crime.

Instead of asking for a pardon, Margie might just want to go ahead and put an attorney on retainer.

Fox Host Absurdly Claims ‘Donald Trump Would Have Pardoned Hunter Biden’

According to some of the on-air employees who work at the bullshit factory that has the nerve to call itself Fox “News,” there was no reason for President Joe Biden to pardon his son, Hunter, because President-elect Donald Trump would have gladly done the same when he takes office in January of next year.

During a discussion this morning of the full pardon issued by President Biden on Sunday evening, Fox host Lawerence Jones remarked, “You know, as I think the fear may have been misplaced, though, I think that the Democrats, including the president, Joe Biden, thought that Donald Trump would treat them like they treated him with political prosecution. I think they’re wrong. I think Donald Trump would have pardoned Hunter Biden.”

“I think we would have gotten some type of report about the corruption and what’s been happening in Department of Justice,” he continued. “I think he’s going to clean house when it comes to the FBI and Department of Justice, but I don’t think he would have went after Hunter Biden.”

Co-host Steve Doocy agreed that Trump “probably would have gone ahead and pardoned him.”

“The only difference is if Donald Trump would have pardoned Hunter Biden, you know, in 50-some-odd days, is it wouldn’t be for that 10 year period,” Doocy continued. “It would just be for those two things that he’s been convicted but not sentenced to a good point.”

What a load of shit! Donald Trump’s own reaction to the pardon of Hunter Biden directly undercut what Jones and Doocy claimed.

On social media, Trump wrote, “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!”

As Steve Benen of MSNBC notes, “Trump’s list of scandalous pardon abuses is so long, it could be a lengthy book. The names should be familiar: Paul Manafort. Michael Flynn. Steve Bannon. Roger Stone. Seven different Republican members of Congress who were locked up for corruption crimes.”

“Trump saw presidential pardons as get-out-of-jail-free cards for his friends and associates, engaging in the kind of brazen corruption that would’ve defined his term were it not eclipsed by other breathtaking scandals.”

Donald Trump would have pardoned Hunter Biden? That’s not the least bit plausible. Trump only helps those who can help him. He’s a selfish bastard who, unlike Hunter Biden, deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Jasmine Crockett Has The Perfect Clapback For Republicans Whining About The Hunter Biden Pardon

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) masterfully slammed Republicans for their blatant hypocrisy regarding President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter, which was announced Sunday evening by the White House.

Appearing on MSNBC shortly after news of the pardon broke, Crockett noted, “Because at the end of the day, we know that we have a 34-count convicted felon that is about to walk into the White House.”

Crockett also had a brilliant clapback aimed at “anyone who wants to clutch their pearls” over the president pardoning his son, who was convicted in June of illegally possessing a gun and also pleaded guilty in September for a tax offense.

“I would say take a look in the mirror because we also know that when it comes to this Cabinet, this Cabinet has more people accused of sexual assault than any incoming Cabinet probably ever in the history of America,” she added.

“So we are living in unprecedented times and we know that this was completely political, as someone who serves on the [House] oversight committee, this was gamesmanship the entire time.”

Nervous Conservatives Beg Biden To Give Trump A Pardon Before He Leaves Office

Now that President Joe Biden has less than two months remaining in office, some conservatives are actively campaigning for him to hand Donald Trump a presidential pardon on his way out the door.

Of course, it seems odd that anyone who supports Trump would think he needs a pardon. After all, haven’t they always said that he didn’t do anything wrong?

In an op-ed they penned for the Washington Post, Marc Thiessen and Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute suggest that Biden could help heal the nation with a pardon.

“From a legal standpoint, Trump does not need a presidential pardon. Special counsel Jack Smith is in the process of shutting down his federal investigations. If Smith does not close his cases, Trump can simply fire him the second he takes office. At the state level, Biden has no pardon power, but the cases against Trump appear to be falling apart,” they write.

Then why should Biden issue a pardon that isn’t even needed? According to Thiessen and Pletka, it would unify the country and help us all heal.

“Absent decisive action, we could find ourselves at the start of a vicious cycle, in which Republicans now argue they are justified in weaponizing the justice system to go after Democrats, and Democrats then feel free to retaliate when they regain power — sending the country spiraling into a miasma of partisan litigation.”

Even though Biden said in 2020 that he would never pardon Trump, the two conservatives say he should reconsider, quoting his victory speech when he defeated Trump: “To everything there is a season — a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal. This is the time to heal in America.”

If Biden was sincere when he spoke those words, they conclude, “history can still record that, in the waning days of his presidency, Joe Biden finally delivered on that promise.”

Sorry, Marc and Danielle, but if anyone gets a pardon from President Biden as he walks out of the Oval Office for the last time, it should be Hunter Biden. Do you know why? To piss off all of the douchebags on the right.

Is Trump Considering A Presidential Pardon For Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs?

After officially taking office on January 20 of next year, Donald Trump will again have full presidential pardon power, meaning he can give anyone convicted of a federal crime a clean slate and release them from prison if they’re still incarcerated.

Perhaps the most famous (and infamous) person currently in federal custody is rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, Combs faces decades behind bars.

So, would Trump pardon Combs? The two have been acquaintances for decades and once traveled in the same social circle.

A bodyguard who was employed by Combs in the 1990s doubts that Trump would hand the rapper a get-out-of-jail-free card, according to Newsweek.

Gene Deal, who served as a bodyguard for Combs in the 1990s when the star was known as Puff Daddy, has expressed doubts that Trump will take any such action on behalf of the hip-hop musician, given his past criticisms of the onetime real estate mogul.

During a recent appearance on hip-hop interview channel The Art of Dialogue, Deal said that Combs “wasn’t even good with Trump like that [anymore]. He was going against Donald Trump.”

Deal added that he expects Trump would ask the following question: “Why should I help this mother****** when he talks s*** about me?”

“Donald Trump probably wouldn’t p*** on Puff if he was on fire,” Deal added. “At one point, they was going at him. So why would he help? … I don’t believe he’s gonna help him. Not at all.”

In 2012, however, Trump sounded like a fan of Combs, remarking, “I love Diddy. You know he’s a good friend of mine. He’s a good guy.”

Combs returned Trump’s love in 2015, telling the Washington Post, “Donald Trump is a friend of mine, and he works very hard.”

But two years later, Combs wasn’t so enthusiastic.

“I think that to be honest, we don’t really give a f*** about Trump, because [black people are] in the same f*****-up position. So that’s not what we’re on. The tomfoolery that’s going on in D.C., that’s just regular everyday business to black folks. That’s not surprising.”

Combs also revealed that he had voted for President Joe Biden in 2020.

“When you look at it, we don’t have no choice. Say what you want about Biden, I can’t say I love the pick either. But we’ve got to get him in office, and then we’ve got to hold him accountable.”

Trump and Combs are the same in one regard: Both have been accused of horrific sexual crimes and both appear to be sexual predators. Too bad they can’t share a prison cell together.
