Investigating him for a pardon?

[–] imnotafish@midwest.social 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Also, he hasn’t given out any of those bullshit presidential medals yet, has he?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He probably doesn't know he can. Don't give him the idea.

[–] imnotafish@midwest.social 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

oh, don’t worry, i won’t give him any new ideas. he already knows. i remember when he gave one to that piece of shit, rush limbaugh.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Current public pissing area rush limbaugh?

[–] imnotafish@midwest.social 5 points 1 day ago

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you really think he can remember that far back?

Oh he absolutely knows he can because last time he gave them to Rush Fucking Limbaugh & Sheldon Goddamn Adleson.

[–] imnotafish@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

oh yeah, i know about that. i meant, he hasn’t given out any yet this term and would likely give one to this shit bag.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 4 points 1 day ago

Well, we are 4.5% into his term, so give it time.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I smell an executive order coming in fast to make him hands off to justice and the crimes he’s committed.

Would expect nothing else from this pathetic government.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (4 children)

No, the way it works is they start an investigation so they can suspend it later. That way if he doesn't do exactly what they want they want they can just re-open the investigation. It's how they handled the Mayor of NYC.

To keep a scumbag loyal you need to keep the threat of jail time hanging over him.

This is it. This is how mobs operate. A culpable employee is a loyal employee.

As a bonus: his sin isn't even tied to the organization. So blowing him up would be essentially risk free - a quality hire if there ever was one.

Edit: dammit, this is going to really happen, isn't it?

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

The judge in the New York former mayor Eric Adams case dismissed the charges with prejudice. He gets away with his crimes scott free, but they don't get to hang them over his head.

[–] GreyAlien@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Would you say it’s similar to this case?

Even better, preemptive pardon, and Taye will be appointed ambassador to Epstiens Island.

[–] AwkwardBroccolli@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago

Why? He should be considered for next presidentship.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Is that what he's calling interviews now?

Trump’ll pardon him.
