    Maybe he should hold one giant rally and invite all of them?

    Think there's a place for Dana Rohrbacher in the Trump California campaign?

    He'll probably be testifying before a Congressional committee first...regarding his August 2017 meeting with Julian Assange.

    This is just the introduction to prepare us for pardons for sludge like Roger Stone and others who worked for him.

    Trump is a Pliable, SPINELESS, STOOGE, who will do anything that Faux Tells Him to.

    People know that Trump's Constant Treason and 24/7 Assault on the Constitution and Hatred of America is never ending.

    Trump doesn't care who he pardons or what crimes they have committed.

    It only a matter of time before the Family of the Boston Bomber shows up on Hannity or Ingraham to plead their case for their relative's pardon.

    Knowing that Trump is an obedient lapdog to Faux News.

    Sad.:smh:

    Clinton pardoned Marc Rich after his wife donated twice that much ($450,000) to the Clinton Library. You make it sound like it's a first.

    Good for him. Nothing wrong with meeting with Assange....he might testify what's being reported, that he floated the idea to John Kelly that maybe we could give him a pardon, or something, in exchange for real proof of his claim that Russia wasn't his source.

    big whooooopie

    You don't have....if you read past the misleading headline, Dana tells you all about it...

    "
    In September 2017, the White House confirmed that Rohrabacher had called the then chief of staff, John Kelly, to talk about a possible deal with Assange.

    Rohrabacher told the Wall Street Journal that as part of the deal he was proposing, Assange would have to hand over a computer drive or other data storage device that would prove that Russia was not the source of the hacked emails.

    “He would get nothing, obviously, if what he gave us was not proof,” Rohrabacher said.

    The report quoted an unnamed administration official as saying that Kelly had told Rohrabacher that the proposal “was best directed to the intelligence community”. The same official said Kelly did not convey Rohrabacher’s message to Trump, who was unaware of the details of the proposed deal."

    Trump is innocent.

    Trump didn't commit any crimes.

    All you have to do is prove the donation was the reason for the pardon..

    The House of Representatives and history disagrees.

    He has used taxpayer funds for personal gain and has abused the authority of his office — that alone is worthy of impeachment in my eyes.

    Why? Trump can pardon the guy explicitly and exclusively because he was given $500,000

    You really think Blogoiavich deserved a commutation? Even Republicans called Trump out on that. Even Greg Gutfeld, on The Five, gave him ****. All these pardons look really swampy. Clinton did a lot of this stuff, and the Right complained about it, as they should have.

    The sore-losers hate-filled Democrat controlled house means diddly squat.
    False. Trump did no such thing. Stop making crap up!
