Former FBI director James Comey suggests Biden should consider pardoning Trump
Although it's been talked about recently on this forum, at least.
He has a point. Why give a narcissist time in the spotlight, especially when there are more important things to deal with?
Quote:"Our Supreme Court, in 1915, said if you're pardoned and you accept that pardon, it's an admission of guilt," Comey said in an interview with The Current's Matt Galloway. "That's an important vehicle for accountability as well that people often don't talk about."
Although it's been talked about recently on this forum, at least.
Quote:Comey said the department should consider the "collateral consequences" of pursuing any criminal investigation.
"I'm not saying he shouldn't be held accountable. I think it was really important that he be impeached," he said.
But, he said, "it's not in the nation's interests to give this thug president, this nihilist, centre stage in America," by continuing to pursue him.
"Because that's what it would be. The United States versus Donald Trump would go on every day in the nation's capital for the next three or four years."
The new president's time would be better spent trying to heal political divides in the U.S. and reach people in what Comey described as Trump's "fog of lies."
"Having Donald Trump centre stage lying every day in the face of a bank of television cameras would make that so much more difficult."
