  3. December 24, 1992 - President George Herbert Walker Bush pardoned six Reagan administration appointees in the Iran-Contra case, among them former Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger, and Robert McFarlane, the President’s former national security advisor.

    He did so with less than one month to go in his presidency, and one week before Weinberger’s trial on four felony charges was to begin.

    These people and others were responsible for selling arms to the revolutionary government of Iran in hope of the release of hostages held in Lebanon, despite then-President Ronald Reagan’s repeated pledge not to negotiate with hostage-takers.

    The money raised through the arms sales was used to fund the Contra insurgents in Nicaragua, who were violently trying to overthrow the government. This support was in violation of an explicit legal ban on such activities under the Boland Amendment.

  7. So, we know, #POTUS can do what they want and cannot be prosecuted personally for this

    But their officials can. Courts could move swiftly and send #TrumpAdministration officials to jail when they knowingly misstep

    I know, #DonaldTrump would just pardon them, but what if not? What if he replaced them? Or #Trump needs too long to get them out?

    Maybe, then, they would think twice

  8. At the end of every presidency, there are calls for the pardon of Leonard Peltier, especially after Democratic administrations. I wonder why it never happens? Based on other pardons, I'm fairly sure it isn't racism. Is there something about his conviction that is overlooked by his supporters?

  11. OMG #Biden has pardoned his own son.... if that sounds bad it gets worse.... Tell me if u spot the weird trick.

    >In June, the younger Biden was convicted of three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018. According to the prosecutors, he lied on his gun-purchase paperwork that he was not addicted to or using illegal drugs.

    > In a statement issued on Sunday evening, the president said the “full and unconditional pardon” covers offenses which his son “has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024, including but not limited to all offenses charged or prosecuted.”

    The whole #presidentialPardon window thing is FU$KING NUTS....but that aside, does anyone find it unusual that #biden would pardon his son from 2014(?!) to today? *COUGH* #burisma *COUGH* #ukraine *SPLUTTER* #nepotism #cronyism

  12. President Biden's decision to pardon his son #HunterBiden, despite earlier promises he wouldn't, reignites debate over presidential pardons. Ethics scholar Scott Davidson asks : Should a democracy governed by the rule of law even give its leaders the power to pardon? What purpose does it truly serve? buff.ly/4gieKoB @philosophy #presidentialpardon #politics

  13. Gotta say, I'm not particularly happy about Hunter Biden's pardon. I kinda thought that maybe father and son would handle this with a little dignity and grace but no.

    If anybody had any doubt about that, he makes it clear :

    "Another thing we'll do, and so many people have been asking me about it, if I run and if I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly," Trump said to applause. "We will treat them fairly. And if it requires pardons we will give them pardons. Because they are being treated so unfairly.
