Israel President: No Pardon for Netanyahu

Israeli President Isaac Herzog decided not to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, opting instead to attempt to negotiate a plea deal. Netanyahu has been on trial for six years across three separate corruption cases. A plea agreement would require an admission of guilt, in addition to likely requiring Netanyahu to resign from office.

An international arrest warrant remains in effect for Netanyahu who convinced U.S. President Donald Trump to recklessly and illegally attack the people of Iran which has been costing the hardworking American taxpayer billions and billions of dollars while jacking up fuel and food prices nationwide.

Israel, for all its faults, still appears to be a better functioning democracy than the US.

Bibi can't pardon himself? What's up with that? Surely he can get God's forgiveness through Regular Jesus and His bro MAGAJesus, which am Me. Problem solved. Fuhgedaboudit. Prayer beanies $24.99 a pop, four with shipping for a Benjamin.

There are very few places in the world that scum can go and not be arrested at this point.

Unfortunately the US is still one of them.

Benjamin Netanyahu tried to remove Israeli AG Gali Baharav-Miara from the case.

She is Israel's first female AG and has shown more resolve and backbone than ex-USAG Merrick "the Meek" Garland who gave the world Trumpf 2.0.

"Unfortunately the US is still one of them."

Better; our President owns the Supreme Court. -It's sort of handy if you're a rapist/pedophle/grifter/thief/war criminal.

As in the US, no one is technically above the law, but in reality, if they can keep chaos going the rule of law becomes the rule of the jungle, and genocide in the Occupied Territories certainly qualifies as the rule of the jungle.
