No can do for state conviction..22.5 yrs.
His federal plea deal is irrevelant.

Dog whistle much. It is hard to think that people really believe DC is not guilty. I guess those of that thinking pattern exist. It makes me sad to think that Mr. Floyd's brutal death videoed for all the world to see is something that politicians would use to signal their base.

We are living in an alternate universe these days

Shapiro trying to be relevant. lol
One of the most desperate, dumb spews ever.


"Shapiro, in a separate video describing his petition, noted that Trump cannot pardon Chauvin in the state murder case but still said it was important Chauvin be pardoned on federal charges.'

I have to admit that I didn't see this one coming...

Elon Musk does not speak for President Donald Trump. I don't see this ever happening.

Trump calls George Floyd's death a "terrible thing"

The president said he did not know the history behind his statement that "looting leads to shooting."

That was then and this is now.
Josh Green who wrote "The Devil's Bargain" about Steve Bannon and the 2016 election quotes Bannon as saying..paraphrasing

If you want to influence Trump you've got to be the last person he spoke to.
A few phone calls to Trump could do the trick but thankfully Chauvin will remain incarcerated.

Ok, but isn't that true of anyone? President Biden vehemently stated he would not pardon his son. Six months later he gave his son a pardon.

So? He did it because Trump was going to pardon the January 6 protestors. Eye for an eye imo

I didn't know there was discussion of this back in March. The concept has arisen again.

Minnesota officials react to Derek Chauvin's speculated Trump parole

Unsubstantiated rumors that Donald Trump may pardon Derek Chauvin are sparking preemptive backlash from Minnesota leaders.

Do you believe anything he says????

 

[mrC]

on this issue yes i do hes got nothing to gain from doing it

 

[Izzylizzy]

Thinking more about a federal pardon I think it's a great idea because Chauvin would then be transferred from the federal prison he is now housed in to a state prison for the next 20-ish years.

Good times.
imo
