Hochul leaves Trump pardon in hush money case on the table as Biden stays mum

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) suggested President-elect Donald Trump would need to show “remorse” to be eligible for a pardon in his hush-money case.

Her comments come as President Joe Biden stays silent on issuing a pardon to lift the weight of Trump’s federal cases before he takes office.

Biden pardoned his son, Hunter earlier this month, and is also considering preemptive pardons for those in his administration who may be targeted by Trump.

“There is a pardoning process in the state of New York,” Hochul said Wednesday. “It is lengthy. It requires a couple of elements. One is remorse.”

The governor hinted that no one, including Trump, will receive special treatment in obtaining a pardon.

“No one will be treated any better, or any worse, by me when I make those life altering decisions as we’re looking at petitions that are coming in throughout the year,” she said. “So, no one gets extra favors, no one gets treated worse.”

I think there is a bigger chance of Hochul kissing Trumps @$$ than Trump kissing her ring.

She needs Trump way more than Trump needs that hair brained bimbo.

Maybe something like:

"I'm deeply sorry that the State of New York and other affiliated jurisdictions saw it necessary to make a mockery of the law in order to use the color thereof to pursue and punish me for having different political views. I am filled with genuine remorse for having brought revenue to any jurisdiction in the state, with the exception of charitable donations I have made."
