@sonhouse saidSo only the governor of NY state can pardon him?
@Metal-Brain
Because Trump was, is, and always WILL be an Ahole. AND now a felon 34 times over.
I guess such niceties as the constitution doesn't mean much to a registered commie. Ever hear of the phrase 'states rights'?
@Metal-Brain saidSo you came all the way back here to make an even bigger ass of yourself?
Lie all you want. That was a tacit admission of hypocrisy.
I am back so get used to getting called on your BS hypocrisy. You will be using the word "whataboutisms" far more often on here now.
@Metal-Brain said"and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States".
Why not?
US Constitution, Article 2, Section 2
The President's pardon power is limited to Federal crimes.
Yes, the NY Governor could pardon Trump for this conviction, but don't count on Kathy Hochul to do so.
@no1marauder saidBecause the governor is a democrat or because the governor wouldn't accept a bribe?

@Metal-Brain saidAttempting to bribe a public official is a felony in New York.

@no1marauder saidNo crap Sherlock. Tell me something I don't know.

@Metal-Brain saidStill not recognizing truth when you hear it?
No crap Sherlock. Tell me something I don't know.
We thought you might have learned something while you were gone.
@Suzianne saidHow do you think Hunter will get off?

Bribery. Are you naive?
They both are filing appeals. Neither of them is going to prison yet.
How much do you want to bet they will both get off on appeal?
@Metal-Brain saidSuccess rates for appeals from criminal convictions aren't terribly high; something like 10-20%. And making any sort of predictions on their outcomes before they are filed and all legal briefs submitted is a fool's game.

@Metal-Brain
So you know the outcome even before sentencing.
You know NOTHING of the history of such charges so kiss my ass COMRADE.
@no1marauder saidThat applies to both of them, doesn't it?

@Metal-Brain saidRight. A junkie son of a president getting nicked in a gun possession charge. Sad story here.
I'm laughing. I hope they both go to prison.
A president nicked for filing fake business records to conceal pornstar bonering.
Hahahah. Basically the same.
@wildgrass saidPaying hush money isn't the scandal here. Bill Clinton did that for Paula Jones.

It is using campaign funds that is the scandal, but that is not that unusual either.

Although I have learned to expect partisan bias from you I think you should put things in perspective as this sort of thing is actually commonplace in politics....unfortunately.
Will you try to hold democrats responsible when they do similar things?
