Trump better do that now because he will be defeated in Nov. He's been in office almost 4 years and Hillary is still out enjoying her freedom. Trump is the one who have to worry about going to jail when his term expired on Jan 20.

True, Hillary Clinton is very free citizen, nothing about the 'lock her up' anymore. Trump will be the one to be very careful whenever he leaves office.

I don't know the kind of Orange Kool Aid Trump gives to his cult followers. It seems they will follow him to the grave like the followers of Rev Jim Jones of Guyana fame. Never seen so many sheeps like them in my life. Hillary is walking around free and they are still shouting about Hillary going to jail. What's is trump and Barr doing in almost four years not putting Hillary in jail. You have to question their sanity.

Not really.

There needs to be a thorough and impartial investigation regarding these incidents of deleting 30,000 emails.

Noone is meant to be above the law.
Is there an ongoing investigation on this issue, because, as far as I found, this has been concluded.

There's even some, including myself, who are of the opinion that an investigation into this issue, after which it was "recommended that no charges be filed", lost her the election.

Biden said couple weeks ago he won't pardon Trump like Gerald Ford parading Dick Nixon. NY State will go after Trump big time as soon as his presidency ends on Jan 20.

You would need to provide evidence for this, as Trump hasn't even pardoned a tenth of the people Obama pardoned, and Obama could not possible have not pardoned a proportional number of blacks.

Eventhough i dont intend to turn this into a Trump vs Obama thing, hence i stated than any former presidency.

Firstly, pardons are different from commutations.

Trump has pardoned more blacks than Obama did during his first office and possibly overall.

As for the rest of your claims, you really need to look beyond what Trump wants you to believe, to start with, and perhaps take current evidence into consideration.

The Facebook post is fake News.

www.polifact.com.

Politifact rates the post "mostly false"

The claim that Obama: 1,927, Trump 26 is false.

The number for Obama is the total acts of clemency for all his terms in office - pardons plus sentence commutations. But only about 11% of those was pardons.

Furthermore,

ℹObama issued many more pardons and sentence commutations than Trump, largely in his second term.

ℹObama followed a clemency policy aimed at relativeky low-level offenders and relied on Justice Department recommendations.

ℹTrump has largely acted outside the normal review process, most recently giving clemency to high-profile. i.e General Flynn

ℹTrump had at the time taken 35 clemency actions more than cited in the facebook post. Roughly two-thirds of them was pardons, including two posthumous ones.

Commutations arent pardons.
First, I am aware that you and I, despite our differences in the past, maintain some sort of respect and regard for one another, which makes me regard you even more despite our differences, but I suspect you are not reading what I post, and I find that insulting and a waste of my time.

Please confirm that Trump has not pardoned as many as the 212 that Obama pardoned.

This person opening this thread and his zombirudeen counterparts feed from Communist News Network.

They don't know what you wrote up there.

The agenda of liberal, CNN and one world order is to have a socialist/Communist America like China or Russia where there won't be change of government and whoever is ruling has all the power like Putin and President Xi of china.

They public campaign for socialism in Democrats conventions.

They are tired of democracy. The want total rule. The only stumbling block on their way is Trump

You mean to say if Hillary Clinton had triumphed over Trump. It could have been a successful agenda?!

ℹThe president to use his powers to pardon the most blacks from prison.
Its important to note that the pardon "is granted in recognition of the applicant's acceptance of responsibility for the crime" and "is not a sign of vindication and does not connote or establish innocence."

One of his February 18 2020 pardon was for Angela Stanton who happens to now be running for election into US congress.



I never once said that Trump has pardoned more people than Obama.

What i clearly stated was that: "Trump is the president to use his powers to pardon the most African Americans from prison".

That's what the article I posted says! But it referred to the claim of "abuse of power" alledged for the number of people pardoned, and not whether the actual figures were false.

Please read the article if you wish to continue this. I have provided numerous sources for the actual figures.

You have not provided one single piece of evidence for this claim.

And I am telling you that since Trump has not pardoned a tenth of those Obama pardoned, and since Obama could not possibly have only pardoned whites, it's highly unlikely your claim could be true. However, please educate me with facts.

You point out the false abuse of power, i point out that the figures are inflated, what is your point?

Are you saying that Trump hasnt pardoned the most African Americans in his first term?

Yes, I am saying "Trump hasn't pardoned the most African Americans in his first term". (The struckout bit is an irrelevant addition and implies a comparison of first terms which was never made in your initial statement!)

And I am not pointing out the abuse of power! Its just a part of an article that points out the number of people pardoned.

Please provide uninflated figures for those pardoned by Obama and Trump, since you must have them to make the claim you made.

Amujale:
Trump is currently one of the best presidents for the African American community that they have ever had.

Amujale:


Before the global lockdown, he owned the best stats.

ℹThe highest employment rate.

ℹThe lowest poverty rate.

ℹThe highest job retention rate.

ℹThe quickest to respond to police brutality using his presidential authority.

ℹThe president to use his powers to pardon the most blacks from prison.
Its important to note that the pardon "is granted in recognition of the applicant's acceptance of responsibility for the crime" and "is not a sign of vindication and does not connote or establish innocence."

When a person says, "best president", and "The president to use his powers to pardon the most blacks from prison", a 'comparison of Presidents is implied, and it would not be odd for a reasonable person to make such comparisons between the president you did mention and the immediate past president, unless your claim is now, "best president except President Obama"!

For the umpteenth time, please provide the evidence for your "facts" so I can see for myself and learn please instead of asking me to believe you like I'm some brainless individual and you are white man brainwashing me with assertions!
