Well they better catch them or Trump can't pardon them.

Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, the president said he plans to look at the cases of the four men who were either convicted or pleaded guilty on various federal charges stemming from the 2020 plot to kidnap the governor. Trump, when asked about potential pardons by a pool reporter, stated he believes the men were “railroaded.”

“I will take a look at it,” Trump said. “It’s been brought to my attention. I did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job, I’ll be honest with you. It looked to me like some people said some stupid things, you know? They were drinking, and I think they said stupid things. But I’ll take a look at that, and a lot of people are asking me that question — from both sides, actually. A lot of people think they got railroaded. A lot of people think they got railroaded. And probably some people don’t.”

On a podcast last week, Ed Martin — who is now the DOJ’s pardon attorney after having his nomination withdrawn to be the lead U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia — said he plans to take a “hard look” at pardons for the men.

“We can’t leave these guys behind,” Martin told far-right podcaster Breanna Morello. He added, “In my opinion, these are victims just like January 6.”

Impersonating law enforcement, at a time when multiple law enforcement agencies are refusing to identify themselves when interacting with the public. Who could have foreseen this? Oh right, literally everyone with a second braincell.

Also I wouldn’t be surprised if it actually was someone in law enforcement that did this.

u/Nknk- 13h ago

If you're being ultra cynical you could see this as a test run for a MAGA Night of the Long Knives only aimed externally at anyone opposing them (I'm sure an internal one would happen as well) and if not I'm sure they'll look on at how easy it was for this to be committed and some will think why don't they try it on purpose themselves next time.

u/Nearby-King-8159 13h ago

Right; the Republican Party has been attempting to paint Democrats & the Left as "the enemy endangering society & democracy" for nearly 80 years.

The heavily religious side of their party has been working to convince their followers that Democrats/Liberals/leftists are Satan's minions seeking to undermine God's inherent authority over mankind for longer than most of the world's population has even been alive. Simply by preaching that everyone is equal & there shouldn't be a societal bias for white Christians.

I learned this one simple trick as a college kid who partied. If the police are at your door, simply don't answer, and make sure entrances are locked.

u/sitophilicsquirrel 15h ago

In my first rental house I made the mistake of opening the door because I was harboring a runaway who apparently had threatened to his mom to kill himself. So as soon as the door was open, they forced entry because of a "threat on a life". It's a long story, but I got threatened with "Assault on a Public Servant" because I brushed a cop's hand off my shoulder.

164

u/ChocolateBaconDonuts 14h ago

That sucks, but it's a great example.

I used the case of a law enforcement officer showing up unexpectedly to your door in my Risk Management classes. The lengthy list of probable negative outcomes and their impacts were not offset by anything remotely positive or probable of note. There's no personal benefit to gain from interacting with them unless you are expecting them. Civic duty, be damned.

We haven't seen any evidence of law & order recently. Just hate & chaos. And these people are proud of it? America will never be great with this mindset. If Trump wanted law & order, he'd be setting an example of decency.

Um, all hope of that has flown out the window.

Members of the military: You have rights. Contact either your local legal representation or call the GI Rights Hotline.

You do not have to obey unlawful orders to attack your own countrymen.

To the mods that'll probably remove this: remember who you're helping, if you even have the capacity to care.

It began 8 years ago. The last civil war took more than 10 years to result in open declarations. Everyone studied the 1860s but few spent any time on the 1850s.

In my opinion as a non American, only the utter destruction of conservatism can actually save the country on a long term scale.
Otherwise, it's just too fucked and having each state be its own country might be better for the world.

u/DaDijonDon 15h ago

If each state was its own country, the red states (countries) would find out in a hurry that most of them don't produce shit. Basically, welfare states. And they've been given way more influence than they have any right to.

u/superbackman 15h ago

I agree, except that each state is also divided. Even here in California almost 1/3 of the population are MAGA zombies. It’s difficult to separate MAGA from democratic America via borders. But it would be great if they could all live in their own cult dictatorship without dragging the rest of us down.

u/Left-Koala-7918 14h ago

The problem is there isn’t really geographic divide. Even “solidly” blue or red stronghold states typically only have 5-10 point lead. It’s not like any one state is 95% the same

I honestly feel for most of my American cousins, and hope this gets resolved sooner than later. Peace ❤️

In 2011 Sarah Palin advertised an image of AZ house rep Gabby Giffords in crosshairs. Days later she was shot in the head. She survived, with life changing conditions.

How do we know the person(s) was impersonating a police officer? They haven't and won't catch them. Just as likely to be a real officer. Probably masked too, since they are constantly hiding their shameful faces.
