Pres. Trump Puts to Bed the Swirling Media Speculation on Possible Pardons As Only He Can – RedState
Friday evening, President Donald Trump sat for a big interview on his second administration with Rob Finnerty from Newsmax.
In a segment, the President poses a question about the whirling speculation of the media inherited on him possibly forgive or commute prison sentences of several recent and large-scale cases: Sean “Diddy” Combs, Ghislaine Maxwell and former representative George Santos (R-NJ). I will jump quickly after the last two, from the president. Trump told the interviewer that he hadn’t spent a lot of time considering their cases.
About Santos, Trump said: “He lied as hell”, adding that even if he did not personally know the former member of the Congress, and “could have met him”, “”[h]E was 100% for Trump. “The president struck the other side” and the media for not having tried to believe in the alleged mischief of Santos before being elected. He added that no one had asked him to forgive Santos.

Finnerty also questioned Trump about the 20 -year sentence of Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell’s partner, for sex trafficking, if “the leniency was on the table for her, in exchange for testimonies”.
Close. Trump said that as president, he has the power to “give pardons to people”, as he did during his first mandate, he knows nothing about the case of Ghislaine and, as with George Santos, “nobody even asked me to do so.” We will return to Epstein shortly.

As expected, the leftists who fly over each word who says the president – like vultures hoping to stop on carogns that they saw from afar – thought that they had spotted a main opportunity to feast on themselves. Here’s how the radical progressive email outfit, Meidas Touch, tried to run his response on Sean “Diddy” Combs:
Q: Sean Diddy Combs. Would you plan to forgive him?
Well, it was essentially, I suppose, in a way half innocent. Probably – I was very friendly with him, but when I ran with office, he was very hostile and it’s difficult. So, I don’t know, it’s more difficult.

Q: More likely, no?
Trump: I would say
Except of course, that was not all he said. Facial expressions also say, and during his response, Trump’s face expresses the anxiety that you expect to expresses someone, whose formerly close knowledge has publicly ransacked his relationship. He must also respond as President of the United States.
The intrigues / dishonest influencers on the left depend on the people who obediently follow each of their messages so as not to watch the full answer (see the video at the bottom of the page). Whoever bothers to watch the video will also know that Donald Trump has always had a way to answer questions; It’s no different this time.
I cannot leave this last clip, because it is linked to the accusation that the inherited media has spread connected to the files of Jeffrey Epstein, who claim that the administration has not completely published to protect Trump and / or concluded an immunity agreement with Maxwell because the documents include dirt on him. Friday, in his answer, Trump not only rents the work of the Sub -Corner General Todd Blanche while toasting the former Girlfriend of Epstein for nine hours – but gives what I think is the best answer to this day:
President Trump says @RobfinnerTyusa That if Jeffrey Epstein stands harmful existed, then his political enemies would have highlighted them before the 2024 elections – “unless they are stupid, which, to some extent, they are.” pic.twitter.com/at2l9fitic

The very people who worked so hard with the hoax for the collusion of Russia trying to keep Trump of the Office would have used real dirt in their possession against him when they had control of the White House. This is something that the media and his left friends are desperately trying to move because it also involves them.
