In the last five years, only two sitting members of Congress faced federal criminal charges: Republicans Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter. Both sentenced to prison. Both pardoned by Trump. Newly-indicted Republican Jeff Fortenberry won't be as lucky: msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
@maddow @HRCDemocrat What? A former president can't pardon no more? Ok, you are right. I must have been confused by the sitting president cannot be indicted rule which is recently expanded by Merrick Garland to a former president can't be indicted either. 😅
@maddow @TrueFactsStated Yes! No PARDON POWER'S I am loving this fact!!
@maddow The Honorifics change, but the story is the same, over and over... A GOP stalwart is found to be doing something illegal... This time, the perp might actually pay the price that any of us 'normal' citizens would be paying... We can only hope ! ! !
@maddow I don't think Fortenberry will like prison haircuts. Oh, well.
@maddow Why are people who needed pardons and/or under federal investigation allowed to vote?
@maddow Bad timing for Fortenberry. Trump would have pardoned him in a New York minute.
