Nikki Haley Vows She Would Pardon Trump if She’s President
It wouldn't be in the nation's 'best interest' to 'have an 80-year-old man sitting in jail that continues to divide' us, she said
They're not arguing that he didn't do it.
Instead they're saying he shouldn't be held accountable for what he did.
Oh, and "let the voters decide." I'm old enough to remember 2020, when the voters did decide. Republicans didn't accept that either
Instead they’re saying he shouldn’t be held accountable for what he did.
Party of Personal Responsibility.
Brooks Brothers Riot. Even our insurrections are less classy...
She can pardon him on the federal charges all she wants, she can't do anything about the STATE charges which, lesse here... last time I checked... 47 felonies he can't be pardoned for.
Been a bit since I updated this one:

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. That trial date is currently set for January 15th, the same day as the Iowa caucus. and has now been determined to be for damages only as Trump was already found liable.
As a function of the January 6th and Georgia trials, there are now lawsuits in two states to bar Trump from the primary ballot based on the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Colorado:
12/19/23 - The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that Trump is not eligible for the primary ballot due to being barred by the 14th Amendment as an insurrectionist.
Minnesota:
11/8/2023 - State Supreme Court denies challenge, allows ballot access.
A long-shot write in candidate for President has also filed suits seeking to bar Trump from the ballot in Florida, Kansas, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
His cases in Arizona, California, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and West Virginia have been thrown out:

The Michigan recordings just released need their own section
Waiting to see the legal action on it, there's a couple of ways it could go. He could get another grand jury in Michigan, he could get new charges in the January 6th case or this article suggests entirely new charges for Bribery:

Once there's a case to follow, I'll get it added!
Definitely eternal emperor of America material, I will devote my life and remaining brain cells to this guy
Time to update. Looks like Maine barred him and Minnesota threw it out.
Maine barred him at the secretary of state level, it's going to get challenged. Waiting for the court ruling on that one, but yeah, I'll get Minnesota updated.
I really appreciate this list! We were trying to piece it together last night and couldn't remember who had charged him with what, and what the timeline was.
She's literally saying that she will ignore the justice system and set a criminal free.
Please vote for me, I like criminals!
I still don't like this timeline
Doing it, is bad enough. Promoting one self by saying you'll do it, is even worse!
A president can't pardon state crimes. He'll still be serving sentences in Georgia and New York.
Why is everyone acting like this is anything but pandering to the MAGA crowd? I don't like Haley one bit, but she is a legit threat.
Should we campaign on a platform that strongly encourages our base while also teasing the other team and maybe developing policies that draw them in?
NO FUCK IT. HARD-LINE POLITICS AND HATE SPEECH FOR ALL!
Holy shit, i got a headache.
She's running for Vice President.
I think she's running for president-when-convicted.
Why would you pardon him? Has he committed any crimes? /s
Seriously, you must think he committed crimes if you are going to pardon him.
Why would you pardon him?
Maybe because of that smell (?)
I mean fuck the GQP, but do you really think that one can't wish to pardon someone one deems innocent?
When did the platform of being President of the United States of America become the ability to pardon individuals?
Since day 1 of the Constitution? The pardon has always been a presidential power. State governors can pardon people for state crimes, but the president can't. They're the head of their executive branches, the branch that's in charge of enforcing laws. It makes sense that they have the ability to pardon people from that enforcement. It's overall a good thing.
Nimarata Nikki Randhawa will say and do anything for power. Even whitewash her culture.
Nimrod Nikki has a nice ring
Don’t call her a mighty hunter
One thing is for sure, republicans DGAF about America, the Constitution, Democracy, Law and order and the Ten Commandments unless it benefits them at that particular moment. They have thrown it all out the window to benefit trump. They have shown us at every opportunity that they will lie, cheat, steal and kill to protect trump from justice.
They were completely morally brankrupt decades ago it just took time for the shit to overflow the perverbial toilet.
She just rendered herself ineligible for office for the same reason Trump is ineligible for office. lmfao.
Haley said it wasn't in the country's best interest "to have an 80-year-old man a criminal sitting in jail."
Damn, didn't realize Nikki Haley was so soft on crime.
So that’s a fucking problem…
Does anyone actually think for a second that the next republican president, no matter who it is, wouldn't pardon him?
Good point. Luckily, they can't pardon state charges. Still terrifying that they are (basically) admitting he's guilty of conspiring against the country, but at least they can't completely shield him from all consequences...
Yep running for VP
“Tough on crime!”
And to her I would ask, "Do laws just truly not matter any more?".
Why bother asking? She already told you they don't.
The next time I see her I'll let her know that Sharpiemarker told me thst I shouldn't bother asking. /s
Seriously though, that point I was making was more rhetorical in the context of this conversation, but generally speaking, when you get in someone's face about something and you press them on the matter, then they tend to have to put real thought behind their stance and defend it, versus just saying stuff for political intake.
TL;DR: it's rhetorical dude/dudette, relax.
Criminals defending other criminals.
Every single one in that fascist party now has to bend the knee to one of the worst public figures in America.
Ok, so she's also a traitor. Good to know.
So she’s saying she'll never pardon Trump. Got it.
Sure bish, whatever you say lol
What
“What’s in the best interest of our country is for our corporate donors to understand that if I am elected, nothing will fundamentally change”
——Nikki Haley, no wait, Joe Biden, no wait Pete Buttigeg , meh whats the fucking difference…. None
If you're implying there's not a fundamental difference between a Republican president and a Democrat president, at this point, that's absolutely hilarious. Delusional.
You honestly can’t tell the difference?
BoTh FuCkInG SiDeS!!!1
Bullshit
Wow. 👏👏👏👏.
Sigh.
