Rep. Jason Crow on Biden's pardons: "You have an incoming president and those around him who are repeatedly threatening his family. That is the story here."

“Moral clarity”? Give me a break. The Orange Felon, the most immoral man in American history, said he was going to retaliate because **his crimes** were lawfully investigated.
That is exactly the story - in a nutshell. A biased or corrupt prosecutor can charge. And juries are not fool proof. Casey Anthony got off. Enough said right? He needed to pardon all that he did.
The US has fallen to pieces and half of the country is still cheering on the deck of this sinking ship.
US, you have become a nazi mob controlled banana republic. 🤦🏼♂️
"Muddles moral clarity" - because pardoning people who violently attempted to overthrow the government and killed and injured police is the same thing as pardoning members of your family and other people who are being threatened with violence. Margaret Brennan is an idiot.
I was a lifelong independent/ unaffiliated voter until I heard his wife speak about the kind of man he is. Every action he has taken since getting elected has only reinforced that he is a good man dedicated to serving the people of our nation.
I remember reading about how his Army Ranger training kicked in on Jan. 6 as he helped secure the chamber and protect his fellow congressmen and women from the mob. He’s got the leadership skills, that’s for sure.
No respect for Colorado's Rep. Jason Crow. He was one of the first traitors who threw President Biden under the bus last July. I won't vote for or support him.
Meanwhile, The Orange Felon pardons dangerous criminals who violently attacked the US Capital. One has 38 prior felony charges, and at least one is a child molester. Why aren’t they clutching their pearls over that 🐂💩.
The pardons of an outgoing president can indicate the level of trust he has for the incoming president. I viewed Biden's pardons as a stark warning to not trust the incoming administration.
Dems have to learn "in your face" politics. If the shoe were on the other foot, by this time 37 Republicans would be screaming to the heavens and getting the word out.
Too bad Dems didn’t loudly rebuke Biden/Garland’s desire to appear fair over fiercely prosecuting what was a clear violation of our constitution. Instead, the lack of consequences only emboldened those instating an authoritarian autocracy. It makes Biden’s pardons seem a tad self serving.
Respectfully, I disagree. Even tho Biden enacted good legislation he seemed out of touch w/ the threats facing our democracy which he did little to safeguard. While pardons protect him, avg. Americans are left vulnerable. IMHO, his re-run for pres is yet another example of him not facing reality.
Biden’s two biggest mistakes were appointing Garland & thinking he could run again and not stepping aside after the ‘22 midterms. Both historical massive errors that (will eventually) overshadow his accomplishments. Tragic really.
That said, his pardons were understandable and necessary IMO
I understand the reticence on the part of some. I mean, they threw President Biden under the bus 4 months before the election and attempted to humiliate him. To come out and say they exposed his family to threats of violence and show trials would be to admit some culpability.
cuz they are part of the oligarchy.
We need to teach the young people about propaganda, fascism, and teach them critical thing skills
And we must bring them with us to vote.
These thing need to be taught by family cuz schools aren’t allowed to teach them.
The government is obligated to ensure an informed voting populace, in order for a democracy, and elections, to be fair, but educating them first is required in order to inform them. The government has failed in providing information, and voters are uninformed. Now voters are disinformed and tricked.
Whatever the government fails to do in a democracy it fails to do because voters voted for failure. Ultimately the people have the responsibility in a democracy and if they refuse to accept it they lose that democracy. "A Republic madam-if you can keep it."
A vengeful authoritarian threatens to target an outgoing president’s circle. Who wouldn’t preemptively pardon in this situation? The mores weren’t going to miraculously be preserved if Biden didn’t issue these pardons. The risks to liberty are real and, at least for this term, the mores are gone.
Biden’s pardons wouldn’t feel so egregious if he’d fiercely defended democracy. Instead Constitution violators faced no consequences & minimal guardrails were erected, leaving Americans vulnerable as he protected his own. & his greedy aspersions to run again arguably helped install a felon as POTUS.
Yes. We can’t know what was going on behind the scenes, but the D establishment, including Biden, should have treated the risk of Trump-2.0 as the SOLE priority & should have done everything possible to protect US. But if we found ourselves in his shoes on 1/20, we’d have issued those pardons.
Don’t attempt to falsely prosecute and fraudulently convict of ‘Trumped’ up charges and then it becomes a moot-point…low-probability of accomplishing that BTW…
He probably wouldn't have if they hadn't expressed their plan to actively prosecute everyone he pardoned. The US Congress held hearings on a private citizen, investigated for 5 years, and claimed that they would continue.
Ah yes the
"Two wrongs makes a right" argument.
Perfect.
I was in no way "equating" anything.
Just saying Biden abused his position with all the family pardons, that's it.
In no way defending Trump, he's an idiot.
Wouldn't it be nice if we all had the ability to just pardon our family and friends, past and future.
Alas, only the President has that power.
I'm sure it was not what was intended when the constitution was first penned.
I get it though, no ability to see wrong with blinders on.
The national media have always framed everything Biden has done in the worst light possible. It's weird how that might happen over and over in a supposedly "liberal" media environment. It's almost like the mainstream media game is rigged or something.
Hey, meet the press the Biden and administration’s over let’s not talk about them anymore. Stay focused just report on your King please. #MeetThePress #SundayMorning #Ridiculous #NotComparable#
Gosh it's, almost as though, t**** is a domestic terrorist. Too bad nobody warned us. (For those who don't necessarily pick up on it in writing, yes this is sarcasm). Fuck t****.
Moral clarity?
Which has more "dire" import; Trump & acolytes "strongly" planning & urging investigations, prosecutions, jailing & fomenting vigilante violence ...
or
Pardoning people who spoke truth to power, or did stupid drug fueled misdemeanors &/or questionable biziness deals.
He’s so right. The real story the news should be focusing on is WHY Biden felt the need to pardon his family and others that trump/patel have threatened.
Trump made his threats loud and clear, and Biden took him seriously.
Biden's pardoning of his son "muddies moral clarity"??? Holding the Democrats to a higher standard than they did to the incoming guy is really something to behold and shows perfectly why shows like Face The Nation deserve dropping viewership and ultimate cancellation.
Both sidesing this issue is absolutely absurd. Why is it not morally clear that Biden wouldn't need to pardon people who did nothing wrong if it wasn't for unprecedented threats from Trump? Who honestly doesn't know this besides idiot pundits?
Why is Margaret Brennan even pushing back on this obvious point? Is every journalist inside the Beltway just content to devolve into a spineless shill for Trump’s wannabe fascism?
Interesting that the former Pres knew enough about the incoming admins plans, that his son would be hung in effigy or for real & did the right thing. He also did it for others. But talking news heads smirked..and now they are asking questions? No wonder they are losing readerships & viewers.
still talking about Biden when f-trump pardoned people who committed murder and those who wanted to commit murder and hang the VP - the mob breaking into the capital causing all of congress to hide in the basement... so Joe pardoned his family to protect them from the people who created the mob

Years of MAGA accusations, investigations and arrested “witnesses”. No evidence of crimes.
Also MAGA: “Issuing pardons is proof they’re guilty of crimes!”
Nothing pisses me off more than some a-hole democrat loudly rebuking Biden’s pardons.
That said, his pardons were understandable and necessary IMO

Voted NO on Laken Riley Act, as did all CO U.S. House Dems.
@crow.house.gov
We need a murder of Crows

It was an abuse of office, FULL STOP.
If we didn't have that shitbag in the WH now, none of this would have been happening.

Blah blah blah blinders... must be nice to sit on that pedestal of yours when you know you'll never experience that type of terror.
Have a nice evening.

Well, look at Joe...does he threaten moral clarity here?
Right, Senator Ernst?

The media has got to get it right!!!
We are running out of options.
Trump made his threats loud and clear, and Biden took him seriously.
No longer a separation of powers! Wake up!
Donald Trump's pardoned insurrectionists give him a ready-made civilian army. What happens if he calls them to action again?

Who knows what orders their getting g from their corporate overlords.
He did pardon his family members, because he knows what a vindictive sonofabitch Trump is and wanted to protect them.
He did the right thing.
