It's about damn time!

Even one of the biggest Trump Humping Lawyers defending Trump (Alan Derschowitz) says in reference to Mueller's team and this plea agreement:

"They’ve gone about as far as they can go without getting up to the red line," he said. "But I don’t think they’ve crossed any red line."

The spirit of the Presidential pardon was supposed to give the President the power to pardon those that might have been unjustly convicted or given an extremely harsh sentence.

That was probably the intention of it.

trump has shown that congress may have to revisit that little caveat of Presidential power as he has shown he will abuse it and use it like spoiled child would.

He should have died in prison.

I think that's enough time... by no stretch of the imagination would I consider that an abusive use of Presidential Pardon...

29 years in prison is a great deal of time...

I'm sure Jimmy Carter did it for humanitarian reasons and not to bail one of his cronies or white supremist buddies out of prison...

That example is way off ...

White House Police officer Private Leslie Coffelt, wounding of another security guard, and of course the attempted assassination of the President.

Screw them. Mueller’s trying to save democracy.

There are some that say no, that this is not true, but I disagree. When the founders split the government into 3 branches, they did so for many reasons, one of which was to limit power among the branches (and the subsequent abuses that follow, when there is unlimited power). They were looking at King George of Britain in particular when they did this, among other things that they looked at. Wise indeed.

I simply can't believe that the founders intended such abuse of presidential powers to occur (rump and his expected use of executive power). The imposition of tariffs I feel is an power that the so called president feels like he has, because there is a national security issue. The unilateral declaration of a 'national emergency' by this so called president all by himself is further proof of rumps' single mindedness to circumvent the rule of law, as it applies to him, when he breaks the law. Period.

Mueller did the right thing, rigging (and the defendant agree to the terms too) the terms of the sentencing in such a way to prevent rump, an unindicted conspirator, from further abusing executive power (using it in such a way never intended).
