Rudy's Bernie who he recommended for Head of DHS - the one who went to prison for five years, the one the Slobfather pardoned in February 2020

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-pardons-bernard-kerik-why-former-n-y-police-commissioner-n1138236

So three of the criminals in the inner circle had received pardons from the Slobfather - Stone, Bannon and Kerik.
What the fucking fuck!

Lock up the leader of this criminal gang.

Update - I forgot Manifort and Flynn so it's five pardoned criminals plus the ex in-chief criminal/
Thanks Mopinko

1. I find this totally unsurprising.

He pardoned his partners in crime. Who better to give a pass to?

[malaise]

2. Guaranteed loyalty

Seriously the Slobfather has to go to prison

[usaf-vet]

3. Well at least the pardons provide a road map to who should be looked at with regards to 01/06/21

If you got a "pardon" from the Slobfather consider yourself a person of interest as the January 6th investigation proceeds.

Don't forget the Slobfather loves quid pro quo arrangements. He did you a favor; you OWE him something in return. That is how it works.

8. THIS

[SergeStorms]

16. Meanwhile, back at the "command center"....

Paul Gosar is promising insurectionists "blanket pardons" (which Trump would never grant) so they would go to the Capitol and raise hell without fear of being prosecuted.

Also present at these meetings were MT Greene, Bobo Boebert, Maddy Cawthorn, Louie Gohmert, Andy Biggs, and MO Brooks. Now that's a group of the most radical fascists the GQP has to offer. They were all planning and instigating with the "Proud Boys", and all of the other popular fascist groups, willing to propel the "Stop the Steal" lie, and to get Mike Pence to stop the count.

[viva la]

25. Link? I really want these congress ones expelled

Gosar first.

27. Lock them all up

RFN!

[JohnSJ]

6. You are right Chin

[bucolic_frolic]

5. You can't use the military if you're going to issue illegal orders

So you turn to those without remorse.

[JohnSJ]

7. and a soldier isn't supposed to follow an illegal order either

[malaise]

10. Good question

[JohnSJ]

12. History has demonstrated a very mixed picture on that

[KS Toronado]

20. From what I've seen when I was in the service

Most soldiers will just follow orders without questioning anything, however if given orders to arrest or shoot
American citizens I think most would question why this is happening, but the MAGAts in the service would
jump at a chance to "own the libs"

[bringthePaine]

13. RICO? anyone? is this thing on?...

[johnthewoodworker]

14. No Republican/Nazi is scared of justice or democrats. They will smile to the next crime.

[Kid Berwyn]

15. Bernie of the BFEE

DU from 2004: Homeland Czar & Petro-Turd Bernie Kerik

[malaise]

18. Nailed it

I've bookmarked that entire thread - brilliant and prescient.

add

[underpants]

33. Thanks. 👆this says it all about Bernie.

[FelineOverlord]

17. Anyone who has read Kerik's tweets

Knows he is a mean and vile SOB.

[Mr. Ected]

19. Well, gee, looks like they were committing crimes from 2015 until the day he left office

Right in front of us. I mean, we can clearly see the crimes that were committed.

The question isn't guilt or innocence. The question is whether Dems (and the AG) have the moxie to pursue this vigorously without the fear of the inevitable media consequences.

It may be our last chance to save the republic.

[malaise]

23. Consequences are coming

Take that to the bank

[Mr. Ected]

24. I want to believe you, Malaise, but I still have Mueller nightmares

I clung on to that investigation as the best way to rid us of our fascist infestation. We all know how that ended. Sure hope this one actually launches and ensnares ALL the bad guys, not just the little guys.

[triron]

35. Yes. I agree.

[underpants]

21. With Bernie Kerik involved how could anything go wrong?!??

[malaise]

22. Seriously he picked a bunch of incompetents

[underpants]

32. He picked people who were willing to be around him

some of whom seemed to think they’d end up rich.

[panader0]

28. The clown car just wouldn't be complete without Bernie.

[msfiddlestix]

29. Don't know why I was stunned to read his name yesterday, but I shouldn't have been.

one would think he'd try to avoid getting embroiled with something so obviously breaching law on a very serious scale (in a world of real justice) given his past run in with the law. Mind boggling stupid.

[malaise]

30. Read Kid Berwyn's link at #15

He has long been an evil scumbag

[msfiddlestix]

36. Yes.. who could forget?

a side note: going to that link was authored by Octafish. Whatever happened to Octafish? He provided in depth reporting and analysis, a prolific contributor of vitally informative and important info. Just reminded me, wonder what has happened to him?

Anyway, thank you for the link.

[gordianot]

31. Everyone knew Al Capone was a murderous mobster.

It took the DOJ decades to get him and had to settle for tax evasion which was posthumously overturnedon a technicality in Federal Court. It is great the DOJ is not the Fire Department we would all be burnt and that includes the current DOJ. Rudi Giuliani was a problem even while he was at justice.

[lagomorph777]

34. None of those pardoned henchmen can invoke the 5th Amendment.

So, if DOJ decides to play along, they can be compelled to testify. That's a pretty big IF, though.

[mopinko]

37. you forgot manifort. and flynn.

who else was in that raft of pardons?

[malaise]

38. Will add them - thanks mopinko

[ancianita]

44. From Feb 13 2021, 75 more who now owe TFG favors -- he didn't give out all that many for nothin'.

Each owes him some rainy day money, transportation, guarantee of security, or safe passage, somethinsomethin'.

[Bucky]

39. Is anyone surprised?

Giuliani drives a big clown car.

[malaise]

40. Looking more like criminals these days

[Bucky]

41. I'm gonna disagree

Criminals are out for money or revenge or corruption. These goons are still plotting to corrupt our democracy. To a certain extend, low level political terrorism ought to be treated as simple criminal activity (bombings, shootings, burnings, death threats... things like that).

But when the threat to the Republic is credible and imminent and more than ordinary, when it's nearly successful, the response has to be extraordinary too. These aren't simply criminals; they're enemies of the state. I wouldn't have said this 10 years ago. But the Republic seems to be a bit more fragile in this decade. I hope I'm mistaken

[malaise]

43. Agree

They ae enemies of the state

[lindysalsagal]

42. The only thing missing from this organized crime cabal is drugs.

Other than that, it's gangland, chicago style.

[UTUSN]

45. The one in the love nest with Judith REAGAN in the respite apartment after 9/11?

[Blue Owl]

46. His new love nest is at The Willard

[Grasswire2]

47. think MOB MOB MOB

This is how the MOB operates. Tainted individuals, either recruited as tainted, or corrupted on the job.

Tainted folk got nothing to lose.

And they are malleable.

Think about how a mob boss always wants to work with a dirty District Attorney and a corrupted Medical Examiner.

And think about the trans-national crime syndicate that Trump-Kushner have hung around our necks.
