It is garbage. I would like to remind everyone that if Hillary Clinton had been anyone other than Hillary Clinton, she would have gone to jail for her secret server and for destroying evidence. President Trump, in the interest of not further dividing the country, chose not to take that route. There was a legitimate open-and-shut case to send her to jail. Other people have gone to jail for similar crimes.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/white-house\/5027455-pardon-envy-democrats-vie-to-make-the-biden-pardon-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a> posted an article by Jonathan Turley about the Democrats wanting pre-emptive pardons from President Biden before he leaves office. If President Trump did not put Hillary Clinton in jail when there was an obvious violation of the law, why would he put his political enemies in jail? The Republicans are not the party that does that.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Liberal pundits and press in Washington are facing a growing nightmare in Washington. No, it is not the victory of President-elect Donald Trump or the Democrats\u2019 loss of both houses of Congress and the popular vote in this election. It is the possibility that democracy may not collapse as predicted, and Trump might not even round up his opponents en masse.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>For months, liberals have been telling voters that this will likely be their last election and that democracy is about to end in the U.S. ABC host <span class=\"person-popover\" data-nid=\"19843\"><a class=\"person-popover__link\" href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/people\/whoopi-goldberg\/\">Whoopi Goldberg <\/a><\/span>declared on \u201cThe View\u201d that Trump will immediately become a dictator who will \u201cput you people away \u2026 take all the journalists \u2026 take all the gay folks \u2026 move you all around and disappear you.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I hope that Americans are smart enough to recognize total propaganda when they see it.<\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Trump may be the only one who is not interested in a trophy pardon. What is the value of being part of the resistance if you are not being pursued, persecuted or pardoned?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>It seems like some of the same people who had hoped to be on the list for the Biden Inaugural balls are now making calls to make the Biden pardon list. If Biden were to yield to calls for hundreds or even thousands of pardons, the loss of political standing for those not making the list could become intolerable. For any self-respecting armchair resistance fighter in 2025, a Biden pardon could become the latest status symbol.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Good grief!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is so much garbage in the media right now about President Trump going after his political enemies.
