You can only pardon someone for a crime that has been committed; right?
Hope the Supreme Court eventually rules in that direction.
Nixon and a few others in History have preemptive pardons. Of course not to the scope of what Biden just did.
Good catch.
Had forgotten Ford did that.
Did not support it and he deserved to lose the next election.
Tough to look at 40 years later. Those of us old enough to remember Watergate wasnt the only issue of the time, it went from Bay of Pigs, JFK assassination, Viet Nam, RFK assassination, MLK assassination, Munich Olympics and then Watergate. After Johnson and Nixon, Ford was a decent hardworking man that put the Nation first to close the book. Carter never wins in a different era.
So, the Watergate pardon looked at in a solo, yeah bad move. Looked at in context to everything else the Nation had been through? Did we want a trial of the President too? That is what I remember, but I was younger the Kai. I was a kid, but it was definitely talked about at home and school.
Compare watergate to what was done to trump. Really quite unbelievable
Watergate was pretty bad. Nixon did it. It was the uncovering of a crime that was documented and believed to be unconnected.
Trump stuff is more political, policy and opinion-based it for that. , One side sees weaponizing of an agency, the other that Trump committed prosecutable crimes. Gonna be tough to prove a crime, more of a change policy. Just don't put the two in the same category. I know there are some that believe it is worse. I don't see anything they couldn't even impeach over, being in the class of Watergate.
I'm talking the spying on trump Obama did and the pee pee dossier. Watergate not even close
Geez, not one of these things has evidence or brought to trial. A lot of conspiracy theory, a lot of speculation. Since, 2016 not one of what you talk about has been tried. Even with 4 of those years under Trump. Keep in mind, Watergate occurred and played out under Nixon's watch. Watergate cost a sitting President the Presidency, to say any of this is in the same ball park is ridiculous.
Lol Seriously?
The pee pee dossier didn't exist? I'm amazed at you sometimes based on what you post and of course not knowing you at all. But I guess people do exist in reality in that mindset. I think sometimes you're just stirring it up though for funzies
I can't believe you put actual crimes that caused a President to step down and people to go to prison below hear-say that has not been proven or tried. Nothing you mention has resulted in any legal or political action. They couldn't even get an impeachment with a majority on all the Biden crime stuff. Hillary has not had any legal or political action against her for all the worse than Watergate acts.
So maybe all this horrid Dem actions happened as you said, but there has been nothing, no impact. Versus the worst political crisis in US history. Which is worse?
I think you're confused. If you can't see the difference in what the democrats put USA through with fake russia pee pee and laptop and 50 lying military signing off on it, and I could go on, I can't help you. I guess if they can get enough ostensibly common senseicall folks like you to believe watergate was worse, we really are doomed. They impeached a president over a pee pee dossier. They tried to kill him multiple times. I mean, yeah. Watergate
The other posts covered it well. One could type at length. But some people just want to believe not in America I guess. What a way to live. Must be nice.
What the hell are you talking about????? "Not believe in America"???? On a bit of bender, huh? The US flag tie a bit tight?
What does any of that have to do with whether Watergate was worse for the Nation than stuff that was never prosecuted?
Because it was never prosecuted.
Nor impeached. If there are chargeable acts, bring them. This is Trump's second shot at the gold ring, there is no excuse to not prosecute and show that it WAS as bad as Watergate. So far, nothing. So I don't see how you can put these acts in the same category as Watergate, which brought down a sitting President.
Acts vs consequences. We are talking about the acts. You are talking about the consequences.
So, when saying it was the worst acts in us history how do you quantify? None of it has been vetted. It is pieces of info in news stories (ironic discussing the mother of all news stories). How do you put any credence to those acts? Watergate happened, left or right the facts are the facts. There is no dispute.
What Freedom is bringing up as worse is only agreed upon by one part of the population.
Your denial is based on a lack of prosecution and the denials of partisan hacks. That doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Ok, let's use common sense.
Trump was President for four years AFTER the dossier, the Hilary and Obama stuff. Nothing with either Session or Barr. Meanwhile Trump was impeached twice.
GOP had a majority in the House for Biden's last 2 years. They investigated the "Biden Crime Family" after the January 6th Commission and the Trump prosecutions. What did they find? No impeachment, nothing.
Trump just won, let's see how many go to trial.
Wouldn't you think IF they had ANYTHING prosecutable on either Hillary or Biden either Trump or the Congressional GOP led by the most Conservative Speaker in 30 years do something????
Use your head. You think they did it out of the goodness of their heart??? No, they couldn't because they couldn't prove anything. Not saying it didn't happen, but when comparing to documentable stuff that DID happen, it comes up short. Get it?
