This is a question asked by taxpayers: Does Donald Trump (the pussy grabber, tax evader, draft dodger, adulterer, and pal of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and “I wish her well,” friend of also convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell) have the authority to pardon anyone?
What rights do convicted felons have? If yes, he may pardon, then he could also pardon the Manson family, Ted Bundy, Sirhan Sirhan, and himself, Donald Trump, for his transgressions.
While members of the U.S. Supreme Court appear to be checking their watches for summer vacation, they should instead be speaking up and simultaneously yelling: “Hold it there, buster. Pardoning a convicted sex-trafficker of children is a crime against humanity and is never justified. Though an old friend who you once wished well, sex-traffickers in the United States are never given a Get Out Of Jail Free Card.”
But silence from the Supreme Court and silence from Republicans in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives.
A better question: Should a convicted felon occupy the White House office of the United States President?
Would anyone rent a room to a convicted felon who had not voiced remorse or served their time in prison?
Creating a saloon out of the Oval Office, tearing down White House walls to add a ball room, and packing Air Force One (at taxpayers expense) to fly himself plus family members to Scotland for a week of golf is not an example of house arrest or home confinement for a convicted felon.
Perhaps in Russia or North Korea, but not in the United States.
