Pardon Trump? Yang says he might

He wants America to be able to move past the Trump scandals.

A President Andrew Yang might pardon President Donald Trump.

One of the entrepreneur's 2020 rivals, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, has suggested she would appoint a task force to investigate Trump’s wrongdoing if she won the presidential election.

But Yang on Sunday said that would make moving forward difficult.

"You suggested ... that President Yang might pardon President Trump, why?" “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos asked the candidate.

Yang responded that he would listen to the guidance of his attorney general, but added, “You have to see what the facts are on the ground.”

“If you look at history around the world, it's a very, very nasty pattern that developing countries have fallen into, where a new president ends up throwing the president before them in jail,” Yang said on ABC’s “This Week.”

I want EVERY candidate to answer this question because the answer could change my mind.

1. that will be his end. n/t

[George II]

2. ...

Yang responded that he would listen to the guidance of his attorney general, but added, “You have to see what the facts are on the ground.”

In other words he didn't say he might pardon trump.

3. Hey, you've been here almost a month. Welcome to DU

and thanks for posting this for the second time tonight

[Zolorp]

6. Didn't see another thread.

Since it's been brought up, I want EVERY candidate to weigh in.

Trump needs to go to prison for his crimes.

[Mr.Bill]

4. Not only that,

he would also send Trump $1,000 a month.

5. Too bad Gerald Ford isn't still around to explain

how that worked out for him.

7. He should read up on President Gerald Ford.

And see how well pardoning a criminal president goes over.

[question everything]

8. If a promise of a pardon will get rid of him, I am all for it

As it is now, we are not even sure whether, is the worse happens, he will even leave on January 2025.

[Zolorp]

9. No

He needs to do time so we never see another grifter like this again in the White House.

10. Only trumpers say "it's a very, very nasty..."

Also I wonder how much money trump's gonna pay him for a pardon?

[redqueen]

15. Wow, 21 posts in 3 years. That's quite odd. Was about to say welcome to DU.

Shocking that you're comparing Yang to a "trumper". But hey, whatever, it's cool.

[GReedDiamond]

11. I'm still undecided, but I now know who...

...I WON'T back in the primaries.

[scheming daemons]

12. That is a disqualifying stance

[Dan]

13. Normally, for a smooth transition between Administrations,

I would agree.

But Trump is one dumb piece of shit that needs to be in jail, and all his enablers.

Not only in jail, but their wealth confiscated - so that they can join the rest of the great unwashed.

I want Trump to go to jail, end up with Nazi symbols on his face, stomach and ass.

And while I do not endorse prison rape, may he have a consensual relationship that leaves him with an active case of AIDS.

[Capt. America]

14. Bye Felicia.

I think one of the reasons we have Trump is because Obama let all of Shrub's war criminals off.
