What #BigGuy #LittleGuy nonsense from Mitt #Romney, who says if he were president instead of #Biden, he’d have “immediately pardoned” #Trump!

“ Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned a little guy.”

Utterly bankrupt thought. Aren’t we all “little guys” relative to the office of the presidency? None of us would get this kind of consideration. No accountability for Trump?

He can think that, but bottom line. If it smells like guilty, he is guilty!

No way he should ever be president again. The average American citizen knows this already. VOTE BLUE FOR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM.

The average American citizen is a non-voting (46% voted in the 2022 election), apathetic, uneducated barbarian. Most Americans (54%) are functionally illiterate. There are 40 million fascists. The GOP set about to destroy the educational system in the late 1960s after the Civil Rights Act and they succeeded. A BA today is equivalent to an AA in 1960, a high school diploma is equivalent to a 1960 10th grade education, and the average reading grade level of HS texts is 5.3.

🎯

Romney's comment shows a complete disregard for rule of law

(But it sure shows a high regard for the rule of rich white guys and their buddy network)

@rameshgupta Romney just can't help being a Trumpian toady one more time; guess selling himself out just once wasn't enough?

>> Romney just can't help being a Trumpian toady …; guess selling himself out just once wasn't enough?

It’s not just #Romney.

This is endemic to the #Republican Party. Been like that since at least as far back as #Nixon, who #Ford #pardoned in #NationalInterest to “heal the nation” 🙄

No accountability for Nixon is what got us here.

Now Republicans, from the smallest ones like #MattGaetz to the biggest whale #Trump, see the Presidency as a way to crime and get out of jail free.

My guess is #Romney is burnishing his credentials within the #Republican #Kakistocracy as a #pardon-friendly politician, and signaling who knows what to all who want to crime

It is inconceivable that #Trump has not committed more crimes than the ones the public is aware of.

It is also inconceivable that the #FBI and intelligence community are NOT aware of such crimes.

#Garland botched the #classifiedDocs case wasting so much time on “ #PrettyPlease, return the docs!” 😡

#Biden engaged in #virtueSignaling to “heal the nation” and wasted an opportunity to appoint a hard-charging, intrepid, and agile Attorney General who’d uphold the rule of law. 😞

My biggest worry is about what transpired between #Putin and #Trump in #Helsinki.

This kind of behavior where he had a private one-on-one with a known adversary, deliberately away from the eyes and ears of other government officials, and in which he apparently seized the translator’s notes after the meeting in 2018 should’ve set off alarm bells in all corners of the country.

Yet NO one did anything 😡
#Pardon, my ass!

Now, after 5 yrs most people have already forgotten about it

Garland and #JackSmith also botched the classifiedDocs case by bringing it in #Florida instead of DC

In recently unsealed opinions, DC judges demonstrate deep skepticism to #Trump arguments on attorney-client privilege that #AileenCannon has spent months deliberating.

Though it’s been nearly a year, the case remains stalled as #Cannon refuses to move

Rulings highlight how Trump’s classified documents case could have gone differently had it been brought in DC

Before indicting Donald Trump last year for allegedly mishandling classified documents, federal prosecutors had to decide where to bring the charges: Washington, DC, or Florida.
