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.

Blumenthal is speaking specific to the mentally disabled leftists.

They can’t think.

He knows that.

What leftist voters are good at is scarfing down lies from their leaders that keep them from doing the heavy lifting of reassessing their assumptions.

Dense, dumb, dull, stupid and thick <- there is the democrat base in a nutshell.

The J6 Patriots are similar to the 1776 Patriots in that they wanted freedom. A pardon is definitely in order. As for schmuck Blumenthal, in as much as they’re going after Santos for lying, how about going after Blumey for lying about service in Viet Nam?

Sid “stolen valor” Blumenthal lecturing anyone on appropriateness of anything is laughable. He should pound sand.

How do these people get elected?

There are maybe one or two democrat Senators who are actually smart and worth a damn. The rest couldn’t hold a job in any big company.

Contrast with we have probably a few losers, as in Maine and Alaska.

So, if a president pardons someone, anyone, it’s grounds for impeachment?

Any 6th greater knows this is not true..

Please note: this is DICK Blumenthal, not Sid. The correct name is both important and appropriate.

Blumenthal can tell it to the military because that’s who’s going to be putting an end to this insanity. Blumenthal will be lucky if he doesn’t face a military tribunal.

Farting in church is grounds for impeachment if you have the votes.

Sen. Blumenthal: Trump offering pardons to Jan. 6 prisoners would be grounds for impeachment

The Constitution says the power to impeach is for high crimes and misdemeanors.

The Constitution says that a president has the power to pardon.

Blumenthal is an insurrectionist.

DANANG DICK says that if President Trump pardoned any J6 participant it would cause the American people to lose trust in him. Well, DANANG DICK, what do you think lying about your fake service in Vietnam does to your trust with the American people—except for the idiots that elect you. You are a coward because after your draft exemptions expired you ran to the reserves. You are a POS.

Blumenthal has no knowledge of the Constitutional power of the president to pardon anyone convicted of a federal crime.

Nobody, no group, has the power or authority to overrule that power.

Uh, he’s wrong (in addition to being a liar and scumbag). The pardon power is in the Constitution, and it isn’t subject to any restrictions.

I think everything Trump does, has done or will do is grounds for impeachment.

BTW, didn’t Blumenthal while he was in his thirties, start dating the teen daughter of one of his law firm’s clients?

Only asking because that stuff is supposed to be a disqualifier if you try to run for public office. Or is that only reserved for Repulican candidates?

So many many rules it is always tough to keep track of them all.
