Sen. Blumenthal: Trump offering pardons to Jan. 6 prisoners would be grounds for impeachment
Just The News ^ | May 12 | Just The News

Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said that if former President Donald Trump were to pardon convicted January 6 rioters after re-election in 2024, his actions would warrant an impeachment process. Sen. Blumenthal told a CNN reporter on Thursday that a Trump pardon of the January 6 prisoners would be a betrayal of America’s trust.

So, similarly, Sid, would Joe pardoning Hunter be grounds for impeachment as well?

More interesting is Blumenthal is revealing, given the way he phrased this, that he thinks it likely Trump will be reelected, that it is a foregone conclusion.

hahaha...

...”Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., recently issued a warning to the Supreme Court: reaffirm Roe v. Wade or face a “revolution.” Sen. Richard Blumenthal previously warned the Supreme Court that, if it continued to issue conservative rulings or “chip away at Roe v Wade,” it would trigger “a seismic movement to reform the Supreme Court. It may not be expanding the Supreme Court, it may be making changes to its jurisdiction, or requiring a certain numbers of votes to strike down certain past precedents.” -—— from Johnathan Turley’s site.../snip

Richard Blumenthal was one of the Congress critters who promoted Hamilton68:
Hamilton 68 was and is a computerized “dashboard” designed to be used by reporters and academics to measure “Russian disinformation.” It was the brainchild of former FBI agent (and current MSNBC “disinformation expert”) Clint Watts, and backed by the German Marshall Fund and the Alliance for Securing Democracy, a bipartisan think-tank. The latter’s advisory panel includes former acting CIA chief Michael Morell, former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, former Hillary for America chair John Podesta, and onetime Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol.
(And Mike Morell was the guy who promoted the 51 Intel official's letter to cover up the mess Hunter Biden made.

Senator Blumenthal either never bothered to look at the evidence - and that is that these people were wonderful Americans who came to show their support and did so peacefully. Putting them in jail is sickening and obsence. It is a plan to keep any other conservative Americans from ever showing up to express their opinion by their presence. These people should not have been in jail even for five minutes and they are still there!!!!!! Blumenthal either has not studied the case, is a policial hack, or he is simply a blume’in idiot.
