Pardon Their Coverage

Resistance "Journalists" belly flop on the Flynn pardon.

For an example of an inarguably corrupt purchased pardon we turn to Bill Clinton and Marc Rich. However, despite investigations and hearings no crimes were charged.

For pardons arguably linked to obstruction of justice we can turn to Bush 41. His Christmas Eve pardon of Caspar Weinberger effectively ended the seemingly immortal Walsh investigation into Iran/Contra. And of course Wild Bill Clinton had entrants in the obstruction category, notably Susan McDougal of Whitewater fame.

Pennsylvania State Supreme Court — isn't that the Court that said the ballots could be submitted up to xxxx days AFTER the election? Didn’t that result in Justice Alito's Court Order to segregate those late ballots?

I think the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court has had its nose out of joint since Justice Alito's Order was issued. The attempt at alliteration with ballots and briefs would be cute if this were not such an important matter. Certainly that justice is not so young or too old (like the great Palmist, Joe Biden) to not know about the multiple court cases in the 2000 election that were heard all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

Eric holder was disqualified to be Attorney General because of his role in the Marc Rich pardon, or at least so said liberal WAPO columnist Richars Cohen back in 2008:

Eric Holder Is Disqualified by the Marc Rich Pardon

By Richard Cohen

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

Soon after Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, the former president and I had a brief telephone conversation. I had been downright heated about the pardon, a lot angrier than I had ever been about Monica Lewinsky. Clinton implied that I had things historically backward. Long after the Rich pardon had been forgotten, he said, the Lewinsky scandal would remain a vivid memory. That day is yet to come. The Rich pardon is back.

The vehicle for this lingering echo from 2001 is the choice of Eric Holder to be Barack Obama's attorney general. Holder was Clinton's deputy attorney general, and he played a significant role in the pardon. When asked by the White House what he thought about a pardon for Rich, Holder replied, "Neutral, leaning towards favorable." These four words have stalked him since.

Rich was a commodities trader who amassed both a fortune and some influential friends in the 1970s and '80s. Along with his partner, Pincus Green, he was indicted in 1983 on 65 counts of tax evasion and related matters. Before he could be prosecuted, however, he fled to Switzerland. There he remained, avoiding extradition and eventually arranging to be represented by Jack Quinn, a Washington lawyer and Clinton's onetime White House counsel -- in other words, a certified power broker. Quinn did an end run around the Justice Department's pardon office and went straight to Holder and the White House. With a stroke of a pen, justice was not done.

Holder was not just an integral part of the pardon process, he provided the White House with cover by offering his go-ahead recommendation. No alarm seemed to sound for him. Not only had strings been pulled, but it was rare to pardon a fugitive -- someone who had avoided possible conviction by avoiding the inconvenience of a trial. The U.S. attorney's office in New York -- which, Holder had told the White House, would oppose any pardon -- was kept ignorant of what was going on. Afterward, it was furious.

When I tell people that I am bothered by the choice of Holder for attorney general, they invariably say that everyone is entitled to a mistake. Yes, indeed. And I add for them that in almost every other way, Holder is a dream nominee. He has been U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, a judge and a well-regarded lawyer in private practice. Moreover, to my personal knowledge, he is charming and well liked by his subordinates. A better attorney general nominee you're not likely to find . . . the pardon excepted.

But the pardon cannot be excepted. It suggests that Holder, whatever his other qualifications, could not say no to power. The Rich pardon request had power written all over it -- the patronage of important Democratic fundraisers, for instance. Holder also said he was "really struck" by the backing of Rich by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and the possibility of "foreign policy benefits that would be reaped by granting the pardon." This is an odd standard for American justice, but more than that, what was Holder thinking? That U.S.-Israeli relations would suffer? Holder does not sound naive. He sounds disingenuous.

Holder sounded just as disingenuous when he told a House committee that he did not "reflexively oppose" the pardon of a fugitive because "I had previously supported a successful pardon request for a fugitive, Preston King." King, a black civil rights activist, chose to be tried for draft evasion in 1961 rather than submit to what he considered racist treatment. After his conviction, he fled to Europe. The two cases are not in the least similar.

As noted, any person is entitled to make a mistake. But no one is entitled to be attorney general. That's a post that ought to be reserved for a lawyer who appreciates that while he reports to the president, he serves the people. This dual obligation was beyond the ken of George W. Bush's attorney general once removed, Alberto Gonzales, whose idea of telling truth to power came down to saying "Yes, sir. Yes, sir." On Guantanamo, domestic spying and Bush's "l'État c'est moi" view of the presidency, Gonzales was a cipher, and the damage of his tenure still needs to be repaired.

Holder was involved, passively or not, in just the sort of inside-the-Beltway influence peddling that Barack Obama was elected to end. He is not one of Obama's loathed lobbyists; he was merely their instrument -- a good man, certainly, who just as certainly did a bad thing. Maybe he deserves an administration job, just not the one he's getting.

peter,

I guess it depends on your outlook on life.

I am getting tired of being told I am a stupid old woman by people like Nose Ring Rasputin and the Android guy, both of whom seem to control an inordinate part of modern life.

I am tired of legal experts who don't do one damn thing to HELP but seem to think nothing of sitting in the critics' corner, proofreading every damn symbol on documents that had to be produced in a hurry.

I certainly wouldn't have thought of a computer which could switch vote counts right under the noses of a GOP governor, nor would I have thought that governor and his secretary of state would be in on it! Why should Trump have thought of that? He's not a computer expert any more than I am.

The "Are we there yet?" crowd seems to imagine that Trump should have hired dependable attorneys from the SAME GROUP who produced Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham!

On top of that, every other day one of the web sites I use like my bank, Kroger, or the phone company adds another layer of security requiring more passwords and codes and downloading "new, improved" versions that I am reluctant to try for fear that they have some damn program embedded which has instructions to erase "Trump" from the memory and replace it with "Obama"!

Now my daughter, who whined about picking up an outdoor extension cord (WHICH I PAID FOR) so she could put up Christmas lights, went to Kroger and got stuff for a co-worker who has Covid and didn't think to get anything for us, because she didn't want to spend too much money. And we are supposed to get snow on Sunday.

I am pissed off and shouldn't take it out on you. Sorry!

It's all guesses. We don't know for sure whether Trump was even prepared for all this or not, for instance. It's very difficult to draw any lines for where optimism or pessimism or realism begin or end.

Tk, Turley describes a perfect storm going into th weekend beginning with PA. He calls the Majority Policy Committee of the PA legislature's meeting last Wednesday a huge success and with Mastriano's leadrship, brought the "Deplorable Republicans" to Harrisburg and joined the Establishment GOP in stopping this fraud. He claims it was a success because it galvanized the two groups. Then he describes the testimonies in that hearing as shocking.

He ends with Wisconsin stating that a voter has to request a mail in ballot in writing and there are 60,000 ballots in Milwaukee Co and 40,000 in Dane Co with no record of request so by law, have to be thrown out. That gives Trump an 80,000 vote lead in those two counties alone. He's predicting Trump wins by 180,000 votes in Wisconsin. Then the states fall like dominoes.

He also raiss the very likely scenario where a third party rises to punish these GOPe squishes.

Now I've never heard of this National Populist and have no idea if what he says is true, but it gives me some hope.

[jim nj]

Right now it's just a few court cases that have been stopped. There are others filed and the ones that were stopped can be appealed. Beyond that is the possibility of more suits being filed.

It's a war not just one battle. Having said that I get Peter's point. If they were in the 3rd circuit and crafted they're argument so that it could be rejected that critically so easily that's bush league. If the judges were correct in their assessment that they were being asked to enforce state laws the suit was in the wrong court.

A federal court would be more interested in an equal rights or disparate treatment argument.

When you're in the shit, isn't it better to know how much and act accordingly?--

I guess I really am a potted plant because no matter how many times I say this it never seems to register.
We can be fairly realistic about the present because it has occurred or is occurring. I think most here see largely the same facts and circumstances.

One can be wildly unrealistic about the future because certain things have no or almost no chance of happening [RG]. For the rest of us back here on earth we can be optimistic or pessimistic but neither one is being any more realistic about the future than the other because "real" hasn't happened yet. We might think our version of the future is more likely but when we start calling our version of the future realistic, which by implication means other reasonable people with a rational but different opinion are not just wrong but not living in the real world, it's similar rhetoric to what progs use.
Moreover when we call our version of the future realistic we are of necessity forgetting all the times in the past we were completely wrong about the future. Since every single one of has been many times before and will be many times in the future you'd think mere humility alone would prompt us to stop attaching "reality" to our predictions.

Strawman.

People take the same data points, make different assumptions, and come to different conclusions all the time. When “reality” plays out, we find out who was wrong, who was right, or most likely where each was right/wrong.

Regarding the Duesenberg video:

I grew up on the south side of Indianapolis, and to go downtown you had to drive past the original Eli Lilly plant, which had a distinct smell since they manufactured ether for anesthesia use.

Here is a story from Indiana Landmarks on the Duesenberg company, which is very interesting.

https://www.indianalandmarks.org/2018/10/duesy-story/

Because Lilly was located on the south side, a lot of their executives bought homes on this side of town. However, this was NOT the ritzy side of Indy, so they often built new homes and in one area, which was over between 135 and Indiana 37, there was a singular hill surrounded by farmland, and that got developed with custom-built homes which were quite "California" in appearance. Two of my friends lived there (both of their fathers were research scientists and eventually department heads) and I would occasionally go to their homes for overnight stays. Very different architecturally with open concept floor plans, terrazzo floors, inlaid wood paneling, etc. We called the area "Lilly Hill".

There is a section of Indiana 37 to the west of me which was a speed test track back in the 1920's. It was extremely straight and flat, although the highway has now broken that up. I can remember my dad driving on it and talking about the Duesenbergs back when I was a kid.
