Is this the first time Presidential Pardons are being abused like this?

He's literally pardoning his allies and associates that committed crimes for him (or crimes that could benefit him).

its a silly tradition that should be abandoned. a president is not a king, a president serves the people. he is hired to serve the people, he shouldnt be above the law. we develop a complex justice system to protect the innocent and punish the guilty yet the president can come along and completely disregard the system that put this guy in jail in the first place, acting like a dictator or an emperor. no one should be above the law, its an insult to democracy.

Have any proof of crimes being committed ? Like factual evidence ? Please lay it on us or stop the propagandizing BS

@TexChik I think the fact that people pardoned were convicted by a court of law is enough evidence. The most recent one is a guy who scammed Trumpies for "wall money" lmao and kept it for himself.

@TexChik No more proof than he had of "Electoral Fraud" 🙃

Apparently his buddy Rudy is selling pardons at $2 Million a pop, am sure ole Don the con is getting his cut.

I understand he pardoned Steve Bannon and Lil’ Wayne. 🤔

@bijouxbroussard Lil Wayne? I had to look that one up. In his mind that's probably proof that he's "done something for the black community"

@bijouxbroussard Lil Wayne? Really?

@SubstantialKick Yep.

@somedude15 Lol, no doubt. And some folks will be silly enough to see it that way. 🙄

@MalteseFalconPunch you mean their impeachments? But what about their Pardons, what kind of criminals did they pardon? So far trump is pardoning people like he's a mob boss

@chockaholic2020 I mean I know plenty used the pardon power but I'm only old enough to remember Bush and Obama. And neither of them actually had people commit crimes for them and then pardoned them later
