On Monday night, President Donald Trump said he would have a pardon announcement coming Tuesday.


According to the Associated Press, Trump is going to pardon women’s suffrage activist Susan B. Anthony.

Anthony was arrested for voting in 1872 when only men could vote. She was later convicted but refused to pay the fines attached to her conviction.

Tuesday marks 100 years since the 19th amendment was ratified, giving women their right to vote.

The answer is Susan B. Anthony as evidenced here:

[Bill Ryan]

Yes, maybe a bit of a political misjudgment. By making quite a big deal of who he did pardon, all the attention then went to who he didn't.

[Gracy]

I’m afraid the odds of this current version of deep state removing the talons from the likes of Assange or Snowden, are about on the same par as the long awaited mass arrests. Zip, zero, zilch.

Assange quit being of use to Trump, after successfully invoking him during his phony run as a swamp draining, war ending populist. Now it’s wishing Ghislaine Maxwell well, and Wiki who?

Wow, what a list. With a few exceptions (Alice Johnson, Dwight Hammond and Steven Hammond) they are all law makers, law enforcers or pundits who go on TV to tell us what the law should be and how it should be enforced. They are largely Washington beltway insiders or have strong connections in that network. The message seems clear: some of us make the laws, the rest of us have to abide by it. It really shows if you are well connected to the Washington Beltway, your criminality can be overlooked.

While most American would not find it in their budget to play around of golf at the Mar-A-Lago country club, most of the above would shell out that money without a second thought(except for the three I mentioned and possibly the two military officers).

Tommorrow's NY Post headline should be: TRUMP RESTOCKS SWAMP

Jack Johnson was quite THE MAN!

[Gracy]

Tommorrow's NY Post headline should be: TRUMP RESTOCKS SWAMP

That could have been the headline based solely on his cabinet picks.

[Kryztian]

Here's someone Trump could have pardoned, and there are thousands more like him:


Louisiana court upholds black man's life sentence for trying to steal hedge clippers

Fair Wayne Bryant was sentenced to life in prison in 1997 for attempted simple burglary, and justices rejected his recent appeal

A black man in Louisiana will continue to serve a life sentence in prison for trying to steal hedge clippers after the state supreme court denied a request to review his sentence.

Fair Wayne Bryant was convicted in 1997 of attempted simple burglary.

The five justices who rejected his appeal – all white men – did not explain the reasoning for their decision, which was first reported by the Lens, a non-profit news site in New Orleans.
Story continues at: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/07/lousiana-court-denies-life-sentence-appeal-fair-wayne-bryant-black-man-hedge-clippers

There are thousands of people who are sentenced in Federal prisons for extreme sentences for non violent crimes under mandatory sentencing guidelines which were made law with the help of Joe Biden. If Trump wanted to do something politically savvy and also do a good deed, he would pardon hundreds or thousands of these people who have served sufficient time but, because of the Federal law, aren't eligible for parole. It would also translate into savings for U.S. taxpayers.

Wow, only 3? You and I read a different list. There’s unfair bias when it comes to news outlets and elsewhere reporting All Things Trump. It's been demonstrated countless times. You and I know why some will never put forth the effort to research them. It doesn't fit their love to hate narrative.

List of people granted executive clemency by Donald Trump ( including pardon, commutation of sentence, remission of fine or restitution, and reprieve) - Wiki article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_granted_executive_clemency_by_Donald_Trump)



Since taking office as the 45th president of the United States on January 20, 2017, Donald Trump has granted executive clemency to 25 individuals charged or convicted of federal criminal offenses, as authorized under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution.[1] Ordinarily, all requests for executive clemency for federal offenses are directed to the Office of the Pardon Attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice for review; however, Trump has frequently bypassed the Justice Department, and the majority of his executive clemency grants have been to well-connected convicted persons who did not file a petition with the Office of the Pardon Attorney or meet the Office's requirements.[2]

Article II of the United States Constitution gives the president the power of clemency, which "may take several forms, including pardon, commutation of sentence, remission of fine or restitution, and reprieve".[3] The two most commonly used clemency powers are those of pardon and commutation. A pardon is an official forgiveness for an acknowledged crime. Once a pardon is issued, all punishment for the crime is waived.[4] The president can only grant pardons for federal offenses.[1] The president can also commute a sentence. A commutation reduces the severity of a sentence without vacating the conviction itself; for example, a commutation may reduce or eliminate a prison term, while leaving other punishments intact.[5][6]

The power of clemency is "one of the most unlimited powers bestowed on the president by the Constitution.”[2]

List of people granted executive clemency by Barack Obama - Wiki article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_granted_executive_clemency_by_Barack_Obama)




By the end of his second and final term on January 20, 2017, United States President Barack Obama had exercised his constitutional power to grant the executive clemency—that is, "pardon, commutation of sentence, remission of fine or restitution, and reprieve"[1]—to 1,927 individuals convicted of federal crimes. Of the acts of clemency, 1715 were commutations (including 504 life sentences) and 212 were pardons.[2][3] Most individuals granted executive clemency by Obama had been convicted on drug charges,[4] and had received lengthy and sometimes mandatory sentences at the height of the war on drugs.[5]

Obama holds the record for the largest single-day use of the clemency power, granting 330 commutations on January 19, 2017, his last full day in office.[6][7] He also issued more commutations than the past 13 presidents combined.[2][8]

[Kryztian]

Wow, Only 3? You and I read a different list.


Yes, three. I didn't say that any of these pardons were unfair or undeserved, I was saying that these people who are being exempted from the consequences of their illegal actions are also either involved in government making the law or enforcing it, and/or in media punditry, trying to influence public opinion about which laws should be enforced.

I did not include the two people who were long dead, because these are basically symbolic pardons. And full disclosure, I didn't completely research Sholom Rubashkin and Conrad Black, but I assume they have deep pockets and used their influence through K street to influence government. Please feel to correct the record if I am wrong.



There’s unfair bias when it comes to news outlets and elsewhere reporting All Things Trump. It's been demonstrated countless times.


Yes, I agree and avoid the MSM for this reason, or at least, take it under consideration. I have numerous friends with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), and if you saw my Facebook page, you would see I've said a few positive or apologetic comments about this president and his actions, because it is the TDS people I am trying to communicate with.

I am not making my point here to say anything about Donald Trump, but about the U.S. justice system, and it's lack of justice, especially for the 99% who don't have connections inside the Washington Beltway. Frankly, I do not pretend to know who Donald Trump really is, I just judge by his actions. And his presidential pardons show him in these instance to be, at best elitist and at worst a practitioner of cronyism. This doesn't make him the worst politician to me, just makes him look like a typical politician. As good old Heinz Kissinger would say: "It's the corrupt politicians that make the other 10% look bad."

[RunningDeer]

Please feel to correct the record if I am wrong.
I never was a fan of what often feels like a back and forth volley. I get sucked into that downward ego spiral where the parties jump from the main theme into the blackhole of endless unrelated justifications.

Best I bid you a good day, Kryztian.
And walk away.

President Trump & The Rules Of Presidential Pardons

Published 6th June 2020

Presidential pardoning is one of the most powerful political tools available to a sitting U.S. president. With the stroke of a pen, the commander in chief can forgive someone for their crime and restore the civil rights they lost. Pardons are typically granted to white-collar criminals. But now, President Trump is testing the notion of whether a sitting president can pardon himself, and the Constitution leaves the question up for interpretation.

He (El Presidente) probably is playing on the alternative cabal team, version 2.0. After so many years and deeds (like this pardon) he is clearly not issuing mass arrests etc.
I like many others feel rather disappointed, I had hoped for more, faster and clear. He belongs in america with the rest of his colleagues of Mexico, Chile, Panama etc.

Great move on his part when there are those in this country trying to suppress voting and have rigged elections for years. He highlights in history how Democratic men once tried to suppress the votes of women. Brilliant move and pulled the focus off Stone by the way.
