Cicilline: ‘I Expect’ House Dems Will ‘Have Hearings’ on Trump Pardons and Commutations
 
Ian Hanchett18 Feb 2020
 

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) said that he expects that House Democrats will hold hearings on President Trump’s recent pardons and commutations.

Cicilline said, “I mean, we will, of course, I expect, have hearings on this. There’s a process that the president is expected to follow in granting pardons or granting clemency. We’ll try to bring attention to this issue on behalf of the American people. We will continue to do oversight.”

I guess the national debt isn't as big as it seems since democrats have enough money to waste on something like this. :thud:

I hate to break it to Cicilline but it's the President's prerogative on he he pardons.

From the US Constitution Article 2, Section 2:

Quote
The President ... shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

No approval, consultation, or notification of Congress is required or otherwise mentioned by the Constitution.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
