Trump Dangles Pardons for Jan. 6 Defendants After Blockbuster Hearings: A Closer Look - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Arrest Trump already.
Haven't you realized that sadly is never gonna happen. It just wont.
He is toast lock him up
Apparently Merrick Garland is not convinced.
Considering he has one of the two major political parties at his beck and call, that's not going to be easy.
Dude. Imagine. Omgosh! Really like in cuffs and behind bars in a jump suit?! I’ve never really seen it ‘til right now.
Clank! 🫡
Criminals pardoning criminals
So they can force babies to have babies.
Idiots leading Idiots.
Crazy 😝
I really hope they thank that one security guard who 'aggrod' the mob so that they moved towards him instead of towards Pence.
Because that dude (unlike Pence) actually is a hero.
“Parading through Capitol” means you entered lawfully through door. Not broke window, climbed thru broken window and caused further property damage.
We shouldn't treat these people worse than terrorists, we should treat them just like terrorists.
Gitmo for all of them!
My point exactly. They are terrorists. In Trump’s mind people who commit crimes on his behalf are not criminals. He GD knew what he was planning was illegal because he was TOLD by multiple people who he had previously used to pull off his various illegal acts. It’s well know he’s used lawyers to underpay employees and then turned around and underpaid those same lawyers.
Yeah, Gitmo is still open
don't forget all those politicians who signed up for the "Green Bay Sweep".
We're going to need a bigger prison.
“Treated worse than terrorists”
They _are_ terrorists.
Thats code. We ALL know what he meant.
They are domestic terrorist fo'sho. Able to defend themselves in a court of law unlike other terrorist that don't get a day in court and/or killed.
They are not.
They're worse.
They're traitors.
He had every opportunity to pardon them from January 7th 2021 to the morning he left office on January 20th. He didn't, even though the people who were caught begged and pleaded for him to pardon them. Now after all this time, he's going to promise pardons?
He will promise pardons for sure. Whether he follows up...
Wow, we need prosecution for racketeering for him and a new set of ethics laws for all our representatives. “Normative rules” not legally backed are as good as nothing.
If promising pardons in exchange for not giving evidence of what he did is not criminal than what is? This is beyond disgusting. If he is free to run anywhere in 2024 democracy is over. 🤬
Stay calm & prepare for difficulties both expected & unexpected. Don't let the toxic bodies stress you.
If Trump can run a mile without collapsing, the human collective "might" give him a shot at running for president again. I just wanna see him fail on camera with no one else to blame.
Its governance for sale aka firesale corruption.Remember "Russia if you're listening i'd like 30K emails" ????
@@TheDarkness1 biden can't even ride a bike
Another issue is do any of these people realize that a pardon REQUIRES an admission of guilt? it only works if they admit what they did and that it was illegal.
Funny you mention fire alarms in Trump budings.
A friend of a friend used to own a fire alarm installation company.
He made the mistake of installing fire alarms in a Trump casino.
When the job was done, Trump offered him the price of the contract minus the likely legal fees he would incur fighting for the full payment in court.
Jerk move, bro.
It was pennies on the dollar.
He fought, he lost his business in the process.
...
The first time I heard Trump get political was back in the early 2000s, he was complaining that New Jersey wouldnt let him bulldoze one of the last habitats for an endangered butterfly to expand a casino.
What an arrogant prick, wanting to cause the extinction of an entire species to build up a casino.
...
Americans wonder why New Yorkers and New Jerseyites hate Trump so bad.
Its because we know him.
To know Trump is to despise him.
Amen.
Too bad Trump never met a contractor who would of given him a K.O. punch when dangled that rip-off offer of payment by him.
A bunch of people in Philadelphia have heard these stories too.
@@old-fashionedcoughypot tRump is well known for SLAPP suit suing for outrageous amounts of money.
I read a slew of these horror stories when he had announced his Presidential aspirations. It’s literally sickening to understand how many businesses he ruined. It seems as though he picked on family businesses a lot- I guess he figured out that they were the least likely to have money to litigate. It made my blood boil.
The writing on this show is fantastic. If I ever have the luck to meet any of the writers or Seth, I'm giving them all the biggest hi-5 ever. Lol
Watching live I was scared for their lives and our country as a whole.
Daily Reminder: "A president is not a king and the plaintiff is not the president." - 11/09/2021 D.C. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan
This is absolutely insane!
How anyone STILL backs trump at this point is just lost!
they hate their neighbors more than the care about self-preservation
You spelled Biden wrong
@@bigwig5395 ^^^^ Fatherless
@@bigwig5395 lol
They want a civil war.
I just can’t believe they are making us defend Mike Pence. I mean… seriously. If ever there was a man I didn’t wanna defend it’d be him. But ffs… they made me do it by being extra strength fucking insane
Can we take a moment to admire the work of the January 6 committee. Their focus on having only republican witnesses and focusing on the threat to Mike Pence (when we all know the greater threat was to Pelosi and AOC) is genius.
If he becomes president?
So he admits he isn't president right now?
If he's already president, he isn't allowed to run for a third term.
Make up your minds, Donald
He's like the Amber Heard of presidents. Those two would destroy each other. Poof. Problem solved.
Hasn’t he only been President one-term?
I feel like I would’ve moved to Canada if he was re-elected?
He also hasn't admitting to running yet, cause if he does, those campaign donation s will become regulated. He's gonna collect, and duck out with his idiot followers money.
@@fightclub6291 The joke is that trump claims the election was stolen and he actually won the election. If that were the case, then he would be in his second term and wouldn't be fit for another term. Acknowledging that he wants to win the next election is either him admitting that he lost the election or him claiming he is going for a third term. Either way, it's him being his normal brand of stupid.
@@fightclub6291 Trump claims he won a second term, and half the country believes him. Some literally think Trump is secretly still president. That's why I'm confused about him saying "If he becomes president," lol
Ask the leader of the Proudboys or the Oathkeepers how they were dangled pardons before Jan 6 ask them how that worked out.
Right? He didn't pardon any of these people when he was still president and yet they'll believe this nonsense?!?
Well the leaders of both of those groups are FBI informants. So I suspect they'll be okay
Kind of ironic; can't really call them proud or keepers of their oaths if they need the promise of not having to be accountable for their actions before they act. It's kind of karmatically funny how stupid they are. History has tons of examples of Americans lying to other people and breaking their promises, but no red flags pop up when they receive promises from other Americans.
@@00SmileTime00 I know the Proudboy leader was already a snitch. But the Oathkeeper guy he only rolled when that pardon did not come through. I would like to see both of them in jail personally. I don't think they have anything substantial to the Jan 6 Committee but hey I could be wrong.
@@anthill7774 CBS News reported the leader of the Oathkeepers had previously worked for the FBI and "held a Top Secret Security Clearance for decades"

It's called a lectern NOT a podium...a podium is what the speaker stands on.
We've learned a lot about malignant narcissists especially most recently, and how dangerous and potentially deadly they can be in their pursuit of power.
"If I become president one day..." Dude, you were president! And it was terrible.
According to Trump and his cult, he still is President seeing as he 'won'. So technically he can't run again.
Save that quote for Biden.
@@beeorganic I bet you don't even realise how stupid your comment is, do you? For all his faults, Biden knows he's President, whereas Trumpy doesn't appear to realise that he was, in spite of claiming that he still is.
@@Elwaves2925 Ah, good point
@@beeorganic no, Trump will always be worse. Worse than Nixon
"Should I decide" ~~~ "I'm not running but will lie to you until the very last second so I can shake you idiots down just that much more"
of course he's running; his ego permits no alternative
@@peterg5383 Him running doesn't mean he'll win!!
@@peterg5383 His ego won't permit him to lose either... I say he'll bail at the last second with some lame excuse like his bone spurs are acting up!!
Grifting 101! Buy all my caps, t-shirts, flags, etc., and I will use it to pay Stormey for my next date with her.
FOR CORRECTIONS:
1. There is no “National Association of Trombone Players”. There is, however, an “International Trombone Association.
2. Trombone Appreciation Day couldn’t have been the “other day” because that implies it was a few days ago. Urban Dictionary lists National Trombone Appreciation Day as October 24, which was NOT a few days ago.
"They're being treated worse than terrorists and murders..." Maybe because they are terrorists and several are murderers.
Throw Trump and all his accomplices in prison
Please!!!!!
Lock them up lock them up
I'd love to watch it..
with each thrust, Bubba says pardon me, Mr President..🍆
pardon me Mr President..🍆
pardon me Mr President.🍆
pardon me Mr President..🍆
Amy Dentata Your odds of serving time in jail are greater than Trumps !! True Facts !!
Any sensible country would do that. Protection of democracy is worth everything.
No one has abused the power of that office like Trump did. And the fact that the GOP went along with that and never held him accountable for his actions should be a sign to every voter to not elect them.
But it’s not and it won’t be, I have extremely low expectations for the rational intelligent thinking of most voters.
The same guy who ran on “draining the swamp” too. 😂
WPl Exactly what has Trump been convicted of in a COURT OF LAW ??
"No one has abused the power of that office like Trump did" ever hear of Warren G. Harding?? lmao yeah I don't expect much from some tool with an Ukrainian virtue signal avatar.....
Unfortunately, for most of, not only his supporters, but conservatives in general, the GOP's turning a blind eye to Trump's abuse of power, is a god damn selling point.
They see no problem with Republicans playing dirty, in fact, they encourage it, as long as they're victorious.
They relish in electing people whose sole purpose is to "hurt the other side", and feel betrayed when those same politicians do things that harm them instead, as one voter said, after her husband lost his job over a Trump's policy, "I voted for him because I wanted him to hurt the Democrats in this country, not my family!" However, when asked if she'd vote for him again, she responded, "Of course."
If half this country is willing to continuously vote against their own interests, just to stick it to the Libs, then a little "abuse of power", is no big thing.
Can we please put the drooling orange mental case back in the padded cell?
It just blows my mind, Drumpf being able to say, “he’ll strongly look at pardons” for the people chanting to hang his VP, and the large amount of people that think that’s fine and normal. 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤯
Who is going to pardon trump?
Isnt that tampering with witnesses??
I never really believed in the cult of personality.. having seen it, and to such an insane degree.. its absolutely horrifying.
He was right. He REALLY COULD shoot a man on 5th avenue and not lose a single follower. Hes dangerous. Im glad he screwed up so badly. I hope they take him down and make an example of him
I learned about it in my teens, still is horrifying in this instance
And it is a group who believe in Faith and Freedom! More like Faith in the Antichrist and the End of Democracy. Of course Trump worshipers are not following the literal Antichrist, the Antichrist will have read the Bible and know who Christianity is named after.
And he's still roaming free and still spout hos lies.. Vote blue!
Excuse my ignorance but surely "normal tourists" wouldn't require a pardon.
How are all of these people not profoundly embarrassed? I'm embarrassed for them
Nothing screams innocent more than a Presidential Pardon 🤦🏻♀️
Maybe the my pillow guy should quietly put a pillow over Trumps face. Saving grace. Sometimes a pawn must be sacrificed for the greater good of the king.
True 😂
I know! I imagine most truly innocent people get their names cleared long after death by others who take up their cause or otherwise campaign to clear their name.
People trading illegal acts for pardons is bonkers, pardons are an admission of guilt! The fact that Republicans are brown nosing Putin's lapdog and going along with this regardless their own private sentiment is baffling. They really are making a mockery of their country on the world stage.
Pardons lost all meaning once Ford pardoned Nixon over Watergate
@@troyjardine5850 He actually regretted doing that for the rest of his life.
to hear people cheering when Trump says he would pardon all the insurectionists is rather revealing….
He wants to be a dictator like his bro Kim.
Yeah, they sick 🙀
The republican party is all about corruption now. Step aside "Law and Order".
As Hillary Clinton described perfectly: deplorables.
Reveals their mental illnesses
Justice is not going to come from the system anymore. We need to all stop paying fines en masse. Stop paying taxes en masse, and demand reform on intragovernmental justice.
This is a corpo-oligarchy - not a democracy, and WE DO NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE.
Gulliani is the perfect of example of either dying a hero or living long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Mike Pence had to be talked _out_ of helping Trump’s coup.
He gets bare minimum points for doing the bare minimum.
He didn't go along with it because they couldn't convince him he'd get away with it, and that's it.
His points account is over drawn.
True
Keep an eye 👁️ on the Pences.
@@johnnycreighton29 I got you. 😛
There are absolutely no pardons allowed by law for Treason. With that said, imprison Trump and all congressional members who assisted him in his act of Treason.
"Worse than traitors or murderers?" They are traitors and murderers!
Speaking of just "painting on" fire alarms in his condos (good joke) an ACTUAL story told by a contractor is this:. Donald Dumbass was reviewing construction progress, and asked what that "sh*t" next to the elevator buttons was. Contractor told him it was Braille, and required by law. Donny Dumpster replied, "Well it's ugly get rid of it, I don't want blind people living here.".
I had read that somewhere as well. He's the snake in that story he told his blind sheep. If you aren't aware of it, it can be found here on TH-cam. Search Trump and the Snake. He's vile and SICK. Our country needs to heal, we cannot do another 4 yrs of him
And then the co tractor should go to the state and report him.
"Most people should not be treated the way they are being treated". You know he is talking about himself.
Interesting observation.
When you put the verbs trump and dangle in the same sentence I get queezy.
Handing out pardons like it's candy is an abuse of power.
There definitely needs to be a clause that prevents the president from pardoning people that break the law for the president. Seems like a no brainer.
Indeed!
Well a long time ago in a galaxy far far away when we had a functioning government that was true. It’s why All The Presidents Men Nixon ordered to coverup the initial crime Haldeman, Dean, Liddy, AG John Mitchell and Ehrlichman all went to jail. Tricky Dick went home to California to play golf and build his Presidential library
Congress would have to pass a law. McTurtle ain't having none of that.
Its called impeachment. But it doesn't work when Senators are complicit in the crime.
@@pamelacass9642
I’m not so sure. While I can’t stand McTurtle, he’s wickedly smart and could use this as an off-ramp from trumpland. You know he can’t stand the man. Of course in true McConnell fashion, if he votes for this, he will always have a back door to move the goalposts to suit his platform.
To be fair they already ruined their lives when they decided to Follow Trump in the first place. 🤷🏿
Ruined their lives and the lives of many many others.
True hold them all accountable who was involved with him too 😠
True, a series of poor choices & never learned from their mistakes.
And they're still working hard to ruin everybody else's lives, too.
Let's not forget that.
Thing is, you don't choose your beliefs.
Blame the education system : lack of critical thinking and scientific illiteracy.
Get people to believe thinga on bad reasons, and they will again. Think religiosity in the US and your issues are a coincidence? They're not separate matters.
What is it regressives have in Trump, if not faith?
The rioters are not being treated worse than terrorists. The Qanon Shaman wasn’t water boarded down in Gitmo, for example.
I hope he doesn't try to run again. It will be a disaster for the country.
*"...being treated worse than criminals, just for parading through the Capitol..."*
Says the guy who had fences and barriers erected around the White House to protect himself from peaceful protesters...
Says the guy who had helicopters go down on peaceful protesters...
Says the guy who ordered the police to bash peaceful protesters heads in...and wanted the US military to do the same...

And don't forget: NO guns in the hands of NRA members at the NRA conference while he speaks!! Can't trust that all of the gun nuts are good gun nuts with guns, some might be *gasp* Democrats!! Probably not, but taking chances is for people who can't rig the game.
I suppose some ppl have, but no. Many of us are just waiting for the prison sentences to happen.
You forgot him asking his advisors if his National Guard could shoot the peaceful protesters if they breached the fences and barriers...
Honestly, some of these people kind of have "forgotten" in the sense that they apply a very selective memory to Trump's presidency. It really is like dealing with cult members. It's sad and kind of scary.
says the guy that kidnapped children from their parents and out them in cages. I wonder how many children he sold 😢
So, sad note, my mom was in a car accident recently and I just now realized that her doped up on drugs to deal with the pain from 6 broken ribs on one side kinda puts her just a touch above Donald Trump as far as lucid conversation goes.
I kid you not, I listened to about 8 seconds of him talking and realized immediately that his speech pattern is equal to that of a 64-year-old woman in a hospital bed with a gallon of pain killer circulating through her body.
Sorry for that. But you're absolutely right.
I hope mom heals up fast and fine.
All the best to your mom.
Sorry about your Mom - but accurate observation on your part.
Hope she's better soon. Encourage her to take deep breaths to prevent pneumonia; very important. v
How can you pardon a crime you are involved in??????
I was waiting for, Oh Rudy, you’ve done it again!” 😆😆

Witness tampering
Trump can’t pardon anybody if he doesn’t become president again.
Correction: there is no such thing as "Luxembourgian Independence Day". First of all, 'Luxembourgian' is not really the preferred term, rather use 'Luxembourgish'. Second of all, Luxembourgers don't celebrate an Independence Day. We only have the Luxembourgish National Day or Grand Duke's Official Birthday (even though it's always celebrated on the same day, June 23rd, and was never the actual birthday of any ruler of Luxembourg, and the reasons for the actual date are convoluted).
We don't celebrate Independence because there wasn't one moment in history where we gained independence and that was it; we had independence for a long time in our early history, then we were part of different European empires at one point and another, mostly unwillingly, then we had a quasi-Indepence with the King of the Netherlands being simultaneously Grand Duke of Luxembourg until finally gaining true independence up until the Nazis invaded us. But our independence wasn't really achieved with a glorious military victory against our oppressors at any point or anything like that so it doesn't really warrant celebration.
To assume every country has an Independence Day in the mould of the American Independence Day is pretty ignorant of the fact that other countries' histories and celebrations will obviously be different.
wow Seth's impression of Mike Pence is ,spot on he should do it more often
I’m pretty sure he could be charged with witness tampering since he’s attempting to “bribe” the insurrectionists with pardons. Which, let’s not forget, if you accept it’s an admission of guilt. There is debate now about the legality of them at all. Pardons are given AFTER you’ve been charged, tried, and convicted.
no, pardons are not restricted to "AFTER you've been charged, tried, and convicted". not at all. nixon was never charged with any crime when ford pardoned him for ~anything~ he may have illegally done over a period of years. a pardon is valid for anything a potus says it's valid for, except future events and impeachments. carter blanket pardoned any and all vietnam era draft dodgers in an executive order, without even having to list people by name. many other examples, but you see my point.
@@nonyabizness.original Good explanation.
@@nonyabizness.original yes good explanation, but also the point that he's using it as a bribe, or even a threat against anyone who might testify against him.
@@nonyabizness.original That's a real problem. Blanket pardons and "pocket pardons" are absolutely ripe for abuse and corrupt use. This is one loophole that can, and should, be closed. "Here's a pardon, you know, for any crime you MAY have committed, or any crime you WILL commit."
That's funny didn't he tell them that before they all went to jail the first time? and he left them there! Anyone stupid enough to believe him this time around, needs to stay in jail!
Thank Goodness for satire and late night shows. They help us process and systematically mock/ call out the litany of daily evil from El Crapitan. I love 'em all, but Seth, Amber, Jenny and company hold a special place in my heart (along with Colbert, Jon, Trevor and the whole crew.... and so many more). Shoot, even Kimmel has gotten in my good graces.
That picture of Pence being carried by the podium guy is gold.
It seems to me, pardoning a convicted insurrectionist would definitely be offering aid and comfort, and if any republican wins in 2024, pardons will be issued to any G.O.P. lawmakers, should any of them be convicted. I have voted red since 1972, but the party is too radical to be in control of our government right now, so I gotta choose country over party, and embrace the donkey.
The grass ain't greener on this side either. People need a 3rd and 4th option, someone like lord buckethead.
Thank you! Feel the same. It's heart wrenching to hear so many friends and family keep supporting this party when they just keep acting like it was just a "parade" through a building. Netflix touched a little, just a little on what went down and how in Web of Make Believe, episode 2 I believe. We've got a much bigger underlying issue that these clueless schmucks aren't realizing -and that's radical far right white supremacist groups. What's scarier still, is that many GOP public servants either know and look the other way, or are in full support of it. We're moving backwards in this country, not forwards. That's why Trump has such a cult following-people LOVE him bc they're racist, misogynistic and wanted payback for having Obama in office, and they weren't having a woman, and God forbid it was Clinton!!!!🥺 The ONLY way to shake up this party is to stop giving them our votes. Otherwise, they are going to continue to be afraid of losing the majority. They need to see that WE are the majority, not the neo Nazi groups.
If you can't see your way to giving your vote to a Dem, then abstain, just don't give it to Republicans until they fix this mess or learn from their mistakes.
We need people with morals and apparently many of the churches are no longer providing those type people.
You know you did wrong when you suggest YOU should get pardoned.
a pardoned always has been and always be an admission of guilt
It didn't work when I was 5 and shaved the cat, it's not going to work now.
True reeks of Guilt 😂
To ask sincerely for pardon one must have both a sense of having done wrong AND repent, with honesty & determination to make amends. This, it is clear that what DJT has & is doing is distorting & corrupting the actual intent of a Presidential pardon. It's like he's playing Monopoly with our lives, families, & our communities.
Apparently Eastman didn't have any friends in the White House, wonder why.
Just a note to graphics: I'm a woman and I'm a trombone player. I was in the UMass Amherst marching band where almost half of the 36 members of the trombone section alone were women. You put four men playing trombone and not a single woman. Recognize your bias
It's important they stick together and present a United front.
Let's just keep in mind that if Merrick Garland doesn't end up filing charges against Trump and his cronies here it will have the exact same result as a blanket pardon
🤯
That’s exactly what is going to happen. Garland is not indicting Mark Meadows so NOTHING will happen to Trump. Trump will be dictator and that is disgusting
Exactly
I’m all for being thorough but Merrick Garland is definitely dragging his feet. He should get his skates on before it’s too late.
that isn't true. a pardon is more sweeping than that. a pardon would guarantee they can't be prosecuted for anything we don't know about at this time.
There is simply no one more loathsome, more vile, more unfit for any responsibility than TFG.
It seems so obvious to me too - what is wrong with the folks who keep seeming him as some savior - of what? Saving them from responsibilities and playing ridiculous fantasies instead.
Plenty of GOP politicians are up there for that accolade
Stand back and stand by!!! He said that he will pardon anyone that follows him.
God help America.
That’s a big “if”. He can’t even pardon himself now.
What’s horrifying to anyone who has been the victim of a narcissist is watching him dangle a vague promise to people in order to maintain his emotional supply and seeing them all fall for it. When someone fills their offer with more loopholes to get out of it than there is substantive promise, they never intend to deliver.
Yeah, like that student loan thing.
That's the addiction. There must be some doubt. It keeps them there.
He's basically saying elect me and we'll destroy this damn country once and for all!!
a very astute observation. Yet I am amazed that his "followers" still trust him to follow through on any promises!
Let's not lose sight of the fact that boss baby sent a mob of terrorists to lynch the REPUBLICAN vice president!! BUT it was primarily designed as an excuse for executing the "Green Bay Sweep" --- the REAL COUP --- which included almost ALL elected republicans in congress AND the targeted states. We're going to need a bigger prison!
The Traffic Cone of Treason and his followers show what an abusive relationship looks like: he lies constantly, took all your money, and threatens to kill you, yet you insisted on staying together because "I know he can change."

Thanks Seth Meyers Et Al 🙂
Never thought when I was watching SNL that the goofy guy who couldn't keep a straight face would someday become a source for news and opinion I trust.
Are you sure you're not confusing Seth with Jimmy Fallon, who could never get through a sketch without cracking up?
@@CanItAlready Yeah, Fallon was the worst for cracking.
I, for one, never thought the world would become this nuckin futz! 🥺
I never imagined Jimmy nor Seth would literally be my personal heroes when I watched SNL. So yeah, I get it. They helped us all through Covid. And now, I too continue to watch them for my news.
@@CanItAlready I probably am
One thing Trump is doing is besmirching the names of the Capitol Police officers who died both during the riot and after being so traumatized they committed SUICIDE! You should never act like those things didn't even happen.
Blue Lives only matters when it furthers their narratives. Because they don't really care about anyone but themselves.
Exactly. His words were "they are being treated like terrorists and murderers", you mean like when they terrorized the capital and murdered someone? Yeah, they should be treated like terrorists and murderers because they were.
4 capital police officers committed suicide after the attack on the capital!
POTUS-45-KILLS US
So much for Blue Lives Matter, cops only count to them when they are protecting property or shooting unarmed people. The moment a cop stands in the way of their attempt at a coup, suddenly they lose all that adoration.
I’m sure if he did, horribly, become president again, I’m sure he’ll conveniently forget the pardons he promised.
I'm glad to hear Seth takes cabs!! Good for you!
But pardoning them is a literal admission that they are guilty. In order to receive a pardon, you have to admit guilt.
no you don't. society can assume guilt, but if you're pardoned pre-conviction, you have no record and don't "literally" have to do anything. are you paying attention? trump as potus had the sole discretion and unrestricted ability to pardon anyone he wanted to, which means he could hand you the piece of paper without any words spoken and ~,poof~ you're pardoned.
how could you even imagine that trump would force someone to "literally" admit guilt? that sounds ridiculous on its face. no doubt that when he handed over pardons with one hand, he got a big fat check in the other, but that's about it. no one ever even has to know that he pardoned you.
Pardons have no formal, legal effect of declaring guilt.
No, it isn’t. The person being pardoned can even be pardoned against their will (ie, POTUS giving a pardon to someone that doesn’t want one).
@@SomeGuys31415 Burdick v. United States established you can not be pardoned against your will. You really need to get your facts straight.
@@maxwellduncan3555 Pardons don't declare guilt, the need of a pardon declares guilt. They might be fine under the law but we'll always remember those traitors.
A con man, a sexual predator, and a serial liar walk into a bar.
The bartender says: What can I get you Mr. Trump?
😂👏😊👍✌️
The best! Thanks, I needed good laugh!
Let us not forget that in the election of 2000, when All the Florida votes were finally counted - long after the election was certified - Al Gore won in Florida. Nevertheless, Al Gore did what he thought was best for the country, he conceded. We should have a provision which requires potential candidates to sign a Declaration stating that they will concede if they lose.
It’s actually Luxembourgish National Day or The Grand Duke’s Official birthday (celebrated in June instead of the real day when this was established was in January as we have better weather) and it’s this week so I’m sure the 50 or so Luxembourgers who watch this are going to be thrilled you mentioned us at all.
Sounds like someone just bought himself hundreds of charges of Witness Intimidation.

Asking for and/or accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.
Most people cannot afford his pardoning fees.
Point of accuracy... Giuliani may have admitted the plan was not LEGAL but didn't also express reluctance to DO it. The fact that it was a crime made NO difference to this crew.
He coulda pardoned them back then if he felt that way. He was too much into a sulk to care, and also, a pardon means "you're guilty".
He was still facing a second impeachment. Pardoning the mob that injured 140 law enforcement officers might have been a step too far.
@@icin4d hes being investigated now, isnt promising to pardon someone accused of seditious conspiracy kind of countermanding the whole exercise? How can the DOJ say he wasnt involved if hes willing to pardon the people that did it.
silly people. by now you should know the nature of this snake... he is LONG on promises and ALWAYS stiffs everyone he can.
Why a pardon if no crime was committed??😁
Ugh he doesn’t understand a Pardon is an admission of guilt! His people really are that stupid!

The dual joke is too accurate to be funny
That trombone / ice cream joke made me LOL
He wouldn't pardon them because they don't have the money to give to his grift.

“Even while January 6 defendants are having their lives destroyed”???
And what about the Capitol police officers families that lost their lives!
“You were supposed to grab the VP!” “This has the same charisma!” 😂😂😂😂👌🏻
Cool to see now! They are all crazy now! Sad to see now! Be well now!
If he was going to, why didn't he do it when he was president? He had weeks to pardon all of them in a blind sweeping pardon. " I donald j trump pardon all those involved in the jan 6 event". That's literally all he had to do. Never pardoned a single one.
Cuz he's a narcissist. Too wrapped up in himself at the time
They can't claim the 5th for something they've already been pardoned for. They would be compelled to testify about their involvement because they are no longer at risk of incriminating themselves and that would make it easier for them to incriminate him.
Even with pardons, Trump's traitors will be remembered as such.
I think the key is to make sure he never ends up in a position to be able to pardon people who would lie to protect him.
The new Benedict Arnold's.
Dishonor on them for the rest of their lives 😠
I thought he couldn't pardon federal crimes?
@@couragekarnga8735 A sitting president cannot pardon State crimes. (Some exceptions, like treason, can’t be pardoned at all).
Though we are talking about a guy who broke the law on multiple occasions and tried to ignore the results of an election to stay in power. If he ever wound up in a position of power again what makes you think he wouldn’t just try something, legal or not, and be backed up by the worst actors in his party?
One of the many, many weird things about The Former Guy is the way he’s not just pardoned criminals acting on his behalf, but he’s talked about how he did it or how he plans to do it. The “lesson” he took away from his impeachments is that he can be openly corrupt without consequence.
Hows is It possible these crooks not yet in prisión ?!!!
“If I decide to do it” had me rolling!
Just playing the same old game. Giving people false hope. Under normal circumstances a president that loses an election should quit to let someone else bring new ideas, fix the mistakes made and convince voters to elect them. I just don’t understand why republicans are so fixated on Trump and hoping that somehow they get him elected? What if he loses again? Will they storm the capitol again? Or will they suddenly be civilized and accept the results?
@@davedon260 it’s because Drumpf is the most beloved president in our lifetime even tho he’s a human piece of garbage. I didn’t disagree with all of his policies and he did a couple things I approved of but I still hate the man with a passion! Im surrounded by red states in the mid west and I witness the love people have for him daily
Being able to pardon sounds more like a monarchy than whatever the US is these days.
"whatever the US is these days"
Oligarchy, if we're being generous. Kleptocracy if we're being realistic.
A corporatist oligarchy
Nepotistic plutocracy.
3:43 Seth! How many times do I have to tell you? It's a lectern and not a podium!
I believe it is his way of subverting the legal process. He can be charged with a criminal conspiracy after the act.
The Jan 6 insurrection was really more of a stampede than a parade.
It was a lynch mob
It was a war on democracy.it’s sad that the word war is used for drug use, culture, crime, etc any cause fill in the blank, but it was a war to overthrow our democracy by people who violently with weapons and mindset as well as the common idiots who rally and follow them to commit treasonous actions to install an authoritarian president against democracy,country and the majority and will of the people.
Never been to the Macy’s thanksgiving stampede?!
I hope everyone in America watches all the hearings all the way through. This is not click bait or snippet time.
I just read approximately 30% of the USA citizens are paying attention to the hearings. Scary. v
At the very least. They can also read the Mueller report and see that theres a substantial amount of crime and ethics violations in there as well.
I've been trying to. I watched the first two. Kept falling asleep during the third. Head hurts and dizzy today for the fourth. Dealing with the after effects of covid. Will watch 3 & 4 later.
@@Zuraneve , Get better & drink lots of fluids. The hearings are on C-Span. v
Why don't Americans run to say Canada.... or become a digital nomad in say Uraguay or Vietnam... This two party polarization is hurting America.
