DONALD TRUMP IS POTENTIALLY PLANNING ON
PARDONING OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF CRIMES.
THE
FOLLOWING TWO PEOPLE ARE NOT NECESSARILY RIGHT-WINGERS, BUT
THEY WERE CONVICTED OF CRIMES AND IT IS INTERESTING THAT HE IS
REACHING OUT TO THEM AND POTENTIALLY OFFERING THEM A
PARDON --
>>
>>JUST TO DO A LITTLE REFRESHER ON WHAT THEIR CRIMES WERE --
>>
>>AND THEN WHEN IT CAME TO
BLAGOJEVICH --
>>
>>I WANT TO GO TO A VIDEO FROM BACK IN NOVEMBER 2016 WHERE
TRUMP WAS ASKED ABOUT BLAGOJEVICH.
KEEP IN MIND THAT
BLAGOJEVICH HAD APPEARED ON TRUMP'S SHOW, THE APPRENTICE,
AND HERE IS WHAT TRUMP HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE CRIME HE WAS
CONVICTED OF.
>>WOULD A PRESIDENT TRUMP PARDON ROD BLAGOJEVICH?
>>I THINK IT WAS TOUGH WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
I DON'T KNOW
HIM WELL OTHER THAN THAT HE WAS ON THE APPRENTICE.
>>WHY WAS HE ON?
>>BECAUSE HE WAS A SEMI-CELEBRITY, I THOUGHT IT WAS
GOOD TO HAVE HIM ON.
I FOUND HIM A VERY NICE GUY.
NOT
SOPHISTICATED, BUT I THINK THAT'S AN AWFULLY TOUGH SENTENCE
HE GOT, FOR WHAT SUPPOSEDLY HE DID.
BECAUSE WHAT HE DID IS WHAT
POLITICIANS DO ALL THE TIME.
THEY MAKE DEALS.
I JUST THOUGHT
HE GOT TREATED -- I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY TOUGH SENTENCE.
I
THOUGHT IT WAS A REALLY TOUGH SENTENCE.
I MEAN, FRANKLY WHEN I
READ ABOUT HIM, HE JUST SOUNDED STUPID MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
I MEAN, HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE?
BUT IT SOUNDED STUPID, IT WAS SO
RIDICULOUS.
>>THAT IS THE MOST AMAZING VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN.
NO,
THAT'S AN EXAGGERATION, THE MOST AMAZING VIDEO I'VE SEEN THIS
WEEK.
THE IRONY OF HIM REPEATEDLY CALLING BLAGOJEVICH
STUPID WAS AMAZING, AND THEN THE BACKHANDED COMPLIMENT OF HE'S A
VERY NICE GUY, NOT VERY SOPHISTICATED --
>>TRUMP CALLING SOMEONE NOT SOPHISTICATED.
SO, WHEN THESE
PARDONS HAPPEN THE FIRST THING I LOOK AT IS WHAT WERE THE CRIMES?
BECAUSE AGAIN, THE WHOLE POINT OF DONALD TRUMP PARDONING PEOPLE
IS SO HE CAN EVENTUALLY PARDON THE PEOPLE THAT WORKED WITH HIM
SO THEY DON'T GIVE EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTORS.
AND SO LYING TO
PROSECUTORS IS WHAT MARTHA STEWART WENT AWAY FOR.
PERFECT,
I'VE BEEN LYING TO PROSECUTORS AND SO HAVE ALL MY CRONIES.
GREAT, SO I'LL PARDON HER FOR THAT.
SO THAT WAS PART OF IT.
AND YOU SAW IN THE TAPE, FOR BLAGOJEVICH, IT'S JUST
POLITICIANS MAKING DEALS, LIKE WHEN I MADE IT DEAL WITH CHINA
THAT THEY FUNNEL $1 BILLION TO INDONESIA, INDONESIA GIVES ME
MONEY, AND I TAKE THE SANCTIONS OFF OF ZTE, JUST A POLITICIAN
MAKING A DEAL.
WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?
THEN I WAS LIKE, WHY
MARTHA STEWART AND BLAGOJEVICH?
I DIDN'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T WATCH STUPID REALITY TV.
>>HE LOVES THE CELEBRITIES.
BLAGOJEVICH WAS ON HIS SHOW, AND
CAN I READ THE QUOTE HE HAD FOR MARTHA STEWART?
HERE --
>>
>>EXCEPT YOU DO VIEW IT THAT WAY, YOU JUST SAID IT.
>>AND MARTHA STEWART HOSTED HER OWN SPINOFF OF TRUMP'S
APPRENTICE.
SO THEY ARE BOTH CONNECTED TO THE APPRENTICE.
SO
HE'S LIKE THIS IS A TWOFER, I GET TO PARDON MY FRIENDS WHO DID
CRIMINAL THINGS JUST LIKE ME AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED IN MY
CAMPAIGN AND ADMINISTRATION, AND WE'RE THE RICH AND POWERFUL, AND
OF COURSE THEY GOT VERY ROUGH TREATMENT.
BY THE WAY, IT'S
FUNNY BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE, WHEN IT WAS
PROVEN THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY INNOCENT, THEY WERE WRONGFULLY
CONVICTED, WE FOUND THE REAL PERSON WHO HAD DONE THE RAPE IN
CENTRAL PARK, BUT THESE WERE FIVE BLACK TEENAGERS WHO WERE
WRONGFULLY ARRESTED AND IMPRISONED FOR A LONG TIME, WHEN
WE FOUND OUT THEY WERE WRONGFULLY ARRESTED TRUMP SAID
WHO CARES, THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN PRISON ANYWAY.
NO
PARDONS FOR THEM.
THEY WERE LET GO ANYWAY BECAUSE THEY WERE
INNOCENT, BUT TRUMP THOUGHT I DON'T CARE THAT THEY ARE
INNOCENT, I WANT THEM TO REMAIN IN JAIL.
HE SAID THEY PROBABLY
DID SOMETHING ANYWAY.
IF YOU ARE RICH AND POWERFUL AND A FRIEND
OF DONALD TRUMP, VERY ROUGH TREATMENT, NOT FAIR TO DO THE
ROUGH TREATMENT.
IF YOU ARE AN AVERAGE AFRICAN-AMERICAN IN NEW
YORK WHO WAS TOTALLY INNOCENT AND YOU HAD DECADES OF YOUR LIFE
STOLEN FROM YOU, YOU PROBABLY DID SOMETHING ANYWAY.
PUT THEM
BACK IN JAIL.
HE'S A DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING.
>>ALSO I JUST WANTED TO QUICKLY COMMENT ON THE SENTENCE THAT
BLAGOJEVICH GOT VERSUS THE SENTENCE THAT DINESH D'SOUZA
RECEIVED.
LOOK, THEY WERE DIFFERENT CRIMES, BUT THE ONE
THING I DO AGREE WITH TRUMP ON WAS THAT BLAGOJEVICH'S 14 YEAR
SENTENCE DID SEEM A LITTLE EXCESSIVE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
AGREE WITH ME ON THAT, BUT HE'S NOT GOING -- I MEAN, HE'S NOW
POSSIBLY GOING TO BE PARDONED BY TRUMP, BUT IF HE DOESN'T GET
PARDONED HE WILL REMAIN IN PRISON UNTIL 2024.
AGAIN, I FEEL
LIKE THAT SEEMS EXCESSIVE.
>>I HEAR YOU, AND THEY WERE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CRIMES, BUT I
GO THE OTHER WAY, I WISH DINESH D'SOUZA GOT 14 YEARS IN PRISON,
WHICH HE DESERVES.
I'M SO TIRED OF THESE POLITICIANS WITH THEIR
CORRUPTION, HERE IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO ALL OF THEM -- LOCK
THEM UP!
LOCK THEM UP!
STARTING WITH THE TOP CRIMINAL HIMSELF,
DONALD TRUMP.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR PROSECUTORS TO PUT HANDCUFFS ON
THAT GUY.
HE'S AN ABSOLUTE CRIMINAL, THAT'S WHY HE'S
PANICKING THAT PROSECUTORS ARE TALKING TO ALL OF HIS CRONIES
WHO CLEARLY COMMITTED THOSE CRIMES WITH HIM, AND THAT IS WHY
HE'S THREATENING TO FIRE EVERYONE INCLUDING HIS OWN
ATTORNEY GENERAL, IT'S SO OBVIOUS.
WE'RE ALL GOING AROUND
PRETENDING THAT WE DON'T SEE THE CLEAR THING THAT'S HAPPENING
HERE.
TRUMP NOW TURNS AROUND AND SAYS, JAMES COMEY, I DIDN'T FIRE
HIM FOR RUSSIA, EVEN THOUGH I SAID IT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.
OH, YOU JUST REALIZED YOU ARE A SCHMUCK AND ADMITTED OBSTRUCTION
OF JUSTICE ON TV.
SAD DAY FOR YOU, YOU ADMITTED IT, YOU CAN'T
TAKE IT BACK.
WHY DO YOU THINK
