Romney Says Biden Should Have Pardoned Trump

More from the cited article...

... "He should have fought like crazy to keep this prosecution from going forward," Romney said, referring to Biden. "It was a win-win for Donald Trump." ...

Pressed by Ruhle whether that is Biden's job to pardon Trump, Romney said he believes that Biden should have taken a cue from former President Lyndon B. Johnson, saying that the president could have stepped in and urged New York prosecutors to drop the case."I have been around for a while. If LBJ had been president, and he didn't want something like this to happen, he'd have been all over that prosecutor saying, You better not bring that forward or I'm gonna drive you out of office,'" he said.

Ruhle then noted that Romney supports having separate but equal branches of government.

"I do. ... You may disagree with this, but had I been President Biden, when the Justice Department brought on indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him. I'd have pardoned President Trump. Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned a little guy." ...

At this point, my view is that if fmr Pres Trump had been accused of just one crime, then, OK, maybe a pardon would be warranted.

But if, as it appears to be, fmr Pres Trump apparently used the Oval Office as a base of a mob-like crime spree, well, I have a differing opinion. And that opinion is that fmr Pres trump should face the Justice System.

@#4 ... Hunter's gun charges aren't going away and this could lead to Hunter serving real prison time ...

Wait, what?

The Deep State DoJ, said by the GOP to be owned by the Democrats, is still prosecuting Mr Hunter Biden?

That deflates so many puff pieces the GOP proffers.

Thanks for citing that.

Hunter Biden's legal defense has a problem: The patron paying the bills is running out of cash
www.politico.com

... Less than a month before the start of his first trial, Hunter Biden may be losing a key financial lifeline.

Kevin Morris, a Hollywood entertainment lawyer who has long supported the president's son, has told associates that he has run out of resources to help fund Biden's legal defense, according to a person close to Morris who was granted anonymity to discuss private conversations.

"The reason Kevin got involved financially in the first place was that he could see that no one was going to help Hunter," said the person. "Now, four and a half years later, there's still no help " and now Kevin is completely tapped out. So just when Hunter is facing two criminal trials starting in a few weeks, he has no resources. It's pretty dire."

Reached for comment about this reporting, Morris confirmed the person's account but declined to elaborate further. A spokesperson for Biden's legal team also declined to comment.
I've made mistakes': Hunter Biden speaks on Capitol Hill

Biden is scheduled to begin trial on June 3 on federal gun charges in Delaware. A separate case, in which Biden is charged with federal tax crimes, is scheduled to go to trial June 20 in California.

Morris has played a key role in handling Biden's legal bills, as he detailed in an interview with lawmakers in January. The possibility that Morris can no longer serve as a benefactor is the latest sign of the tumult surrounding the president's son in the final weeks of preparation for two trials that he " and his father " had hoped would never happen. ...

You mean, Mr Hunter Biden cannot beg political donors for money? Oh, wait, he's not a running for office....

@#17 ... Now hes placed Trump in a position to gain popularity over this ridiculous ---- ...

How is it ridiculous?

Please be specific.

@#18 ... Now hes placed Trump in a position to gain popularity over this ridiculous ---- - and it's likely what will end up costing Biden the election. ...

... and as a second observation of your current alias' comment...

So, it seems to be saying that Justice should take a back seat to politics?

And, as a secondary question, what role, exactly, has Pres Biden taken in the prosecution of fmr Pres Trump? Details would be appreciated.

thx.

...
P.T. Barnum said it so long ago
There's one born every minute, don't you know (killer klowns)
Some make us laugh, some make us cry
These klowns only gonna make you die

[Chorus]
Everybody's running when the circus comes into their towns
Everybody's gunning for the likes of the killer klowns
From outer space
Killer klowns
From outer space
...

btw, a great funny movie, imo...

@#24 ... So, you seem to be saying that you'd rather have Trump as President so long as you can drag him through court? ...

Do try harder.

@#25 ... These aren't Trumpers, these are low income voters being displaced and suffocating from inflation. ...

Got links?

@#27 ... Romney is saying that a US President should interfere in a State trial by pardoning someone... because politics. ...

Yup.

That's about it.

@#31 ... And the Jury will get the case. ...

The Jury has been in the courtroom, listening to the evidence and testimonies being presented that you and I likely have seen on the various news channels.

But what you and I have not seen is the emotion behind the testimonies.

You have to be in the courtroom to experience and understand that.

The jury was there.

In other words, the jury has more information for their judgment than you or I have.

@#23 ... Romney is just indirectly articulating that all these lawsuits and trial are doing two things.

1. Making Trump look like a victim of the biased government to minorities.
2. Keeping him off the campaign trail which he typically will flub and make people not like him. ...

Re: 1 - the lawsuits are not making fmr Pres Trump look like a victim, that is how fmr Pres Trump is trying to frame the lawsuits.

Re: 2 - on the days off from the trial, has fmr Pres Trump hit the campaign trail?

@#36 ... I hope you don't change your mind on this when Trump wins and the indictments for top Democrats begin. ...

To this point, I've not seen Democrats complaining when Democrats have been indicted by law enforcement.

Got any examples your current alias would like to trot out?

On the other hand, fmr Pres Trump has said that he will weaponize the DoJ to go after his political enemies.

So, is your current alias OK with fmr Pres Trump's threat to use the DoJ against his political enemies, as compared to Pres Biden's hands-off approach to the DoJ?

Yer up....

@#40 ... He's more like one of Trump's hookers... all bent over for the Cult Leader. ...

Based upon that current alias' comment so far, I do not disagree.

But their is one point that it raises....

What happens when fmr Pres Trump wins in November, and he goes through with his revenge DoJ prosecution promises?

At this point, I have to say, I see that as a greater than 50-50 outcome, mainly due to Pres Biden's apparent disagreement with that outcome. Rephrased: Complacency does not a good campaign make.
