Trump Blasts Biden for Issuing Pardon Without Being Paid For It

This will lower the market value of every future pardon I give.

PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—In a series of scathing Truth Social posts on Tuesday, Donald J. Trump lambasted President Biden for issuing a pardon without being paid for it.

"Pardoning someone for free was an incredibly selfish act," Trump wrote. "This will lower the market value of every future pardon I give."

"The framers of the Constitution gave the president pardon power for one reason: to make money," Trump continued. "I have too much respect for the Constitution to pardon people for free."

In perhaps his strongest denunciation of Biden's actions, he added, "Any decent father would have made Hunter ambassador to France."

No duh- Clinton wrote the book on it.

But the major controversy stemming from the Rich pardon concerned Rich’s ex-wife, Denise Rich, who had previously donated $450,000 to the Clinton Foundation as well as to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign. Republicans and Democrats alike were deeply troubled given the parallels to bribery. Democratic Senator Dick Durbin, for example, said Rich’s pardon “certainly raises the appearance of impropriety.” Former President Jimmy Carter stated : “I don’t think there is any doubt that some of the factors in his pardon were attributable to his large gifts. In my opinion, that was disgraceful.” The troubling facts surrounding the Rich pardon soon triggered investigations in both houses of Congress and by federal prosecutors in Manhattan. These investigations ultimately evolved to probe whether other pardons by President Clinton were unlawful, including allegations that the President’s half-brother, Roger, orchestrated a pay-for-pardons scheme .

Clintons have that almighty D behind their name- so nothing came of it.

Democrats always accusing others of what they mastered first.

You mean Trump is taking a page from the Brandon family playbook?

He should cut out the middle men and employ his family to do it instead- then grant every last one of them all encompassing pardons that will cover them for everything and anything the Democrats cook up.
