No politics here. He pardons people all the time, even Democrats

[Jersey Devil]

imo, that is what this is all about. It is just the prelude to the pardons of Stone, Manafort, Flynn, etc. Then when he does it he can say, "I pardon a lot of people I think have been treated unfairly." He'll do it real soon too, maybe as early as this week when Stone gets sentenced and certainly way before the Repub Convention. Stone will never see a single day in jail.

1. Exactly.

Blanket pardons.

2. No. It's because he hates Illiinois, specifically the Chicago area.

A Democratic city where he had that disastrous rally in early 2016 that ended up cancelled.

3. Who are the Democrats?

I just Googled to see the Democrats pardoned by Trump. I didn't find any on the list. Could you please list the Democrats who have been pardoned? I'm just interested in knowing; not to prove anything/anyone right or wrong.

5. He may be pardoning Rod Blagoevich

That's the only one I know. But why that would make any difference to anybody is beyond me. Just so that he can say he's pardoned a Democrat(s)?

7. That's because you do not have the mentality of a brick

It probably makes sense to Trumpers

6. Blagovich

Dem Gov of Illinois who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat after he got elected as President.

4. Yeah but

none of the people he's pardoning are even remotely sympathetic characters. Most are pretty widely known as disgraced individuals. Most people will see it for what it is IMHO.

8. yup...he is so obvious..
