Rudy's Bernie who he recommended for Head of DHS - the one who went to prison for five years, the one the Slobfather pardoned in February 2020
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-pardons-bernard-kerik-why-former-n-y-police-commissioner-n1138236
So three of the criminals in the inner circle had received pardons from the Slobfather - Stone, Bannon and Kerik.
What the fucking fuck!
Lock up the leader of this criminal gang.
Update - I forgot Manifort and Flynn so it's five pardoned criminals plus the ex in-chief criminal/
Thanks Mopinko

(269,157 posts)Seriously the Slobfather has to go to prison

(6,201 posts)If you got a "pardon" from the Slobfather consider yourself a person of interest as the January 6th investigation proceeds.
Don't forget the Slobfather loves quid pro quo arrangements. He did you a favor; you OWE him something in return. That is how it works.

(19,204 posts)Paul Gosar is promising insurectionists "blanket pardons" (which Trump would never grant) so they would go to the Capitol and raise hell without fear of being prosecuted.
Also present at these meetings were MT Greene, Bobo Boebert, Maddy Cawthorn, Louie Gohmert, Andy Biggs, and MO Brooks. Now that's a group of the most radical fascists the GQP has to offer. They were all planning and instigating with the "Proud Boys", and all of the other popular fascist groups, willing to propel the "Stop the Steal" lie, and to get Mike Pence to stop the count.

(17,310 posts)Most soldiers will just follow orders without questioning anything, however if given orders to arrest or shoot
American citizens I think most would question why this is happening, but the MAGAts in the service would
jump at a chance to "own the libs"

Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)Right in front of us. I mean, we can clearly see the crimes that were committed.
The question isn't guilt or innocence. The question is whether Dems (and the AG) have the moxie to pursue this vigorously without the fear of the inevitable media consequences.
It may be our last chance to save the republic.

Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)I clung on to that investigation as the best way to rid us of our fascist infestation. We all know how that ended. Sure hope this one actually launches and ensnares ALL the bad guys, not just the little guys.

(7,285 posts)one would think he'd try to avoid getting embroiled with something so obviously breaching law on a very serious scale (in a world of real justice) given his past run in with the law. Mind boggling stupid.

(7,285 posts)a side note: going to that link was authored by Octafish. Whatever happened to Octafish? He provided in depth reporting and analysis, a prolific contributor of vitally informative and important info. Just reminded me, wonder what has happened to him?
Anyway, thank you for the link.

(15,243 posts)It took the DOJ decades to get him and had to settle for tax evasion which was posthumously overturnedon a technicality in Federal Court. It is great the DOJ is not the Fire Department we would all be burnt and that includes the current DOJ. Rudi Giuliani was a problem even while he was at justice.

(30,613 posts)So, if DOJ decides to play along, they can be compelled to testify. That's a pretty big IF, though.

(54,048 posts)Criminals are out for money or revenge or corruption. These goons are still plotting to corrupt our democracy. To a certain extend, low level political terrorism ought to be treated as simple criminal activity (bombings, shootings, burnings, death threats... things like that).
But when the threat to the Republic is credible and imminent and more than ordinary, when it's nearly successful, the response has to be extraordinary too. These aren't simply criminals; they're enemies of the state. I wouldn't have said this 10 years ago. But the Republic seems to be a bit more fragile in this decade. I hope I'm mistaken
They ae enemies of the state

(13,571 posts)This is how the MOB operates. Tainted individuals, either recruited as tainted, or corrupted on the job.
Tainted folk got nothing to lose.
And they are malleable.
Think about how a mob boss always wants to work with a dirty District Attorney and a corrupted Medical Examiner.
And think about the trans-national crime syndicate that Trump-Kushner have hung around our necks.
