Steph Raines his long history of rascist comments are well doccumented. Why are you giving him.a pass? His sexual assault claims are quite credible, and since HE SAID, "women must never nelieved", he should be held to such.....dont you agree?

Let's talk about now. He did get involved in the DOJ case against his political opponant despite saying otherwise, because his signature was on the NA papers initiating the investigation. His signature is on all the EOs, which ended the US as a net energy exporter and caused the rapid rise in fuel and energy cost. He approved the immigration policy that has allowed 4 MILLION illegal immigrants to flood the country, in defiance of US immigration laws AND 2 federal court orders. His Treasury is withholding over 150 Biden family financial records that show ties to CCP aligned businesses. Of course Joe lied about not knowing about Hunters business dealings as numerous emails, voice messages and Whitehouse visitor logs have proven. His energy policy kickstarted inflation rise and further economic policies only madenit worse. It was a stable 1.2% when he took office and he rapidly sent it into a record high level.


Anthony Riggio In answering question 20, you should state the specific purpose for which you are seeking pardon and, if applicable, attach any relevant documentary evidence that indicates how a pardon will help you accomplish that purpose (such as citations to applicable provisions of state constitutions, statutes, or regulations, or copies of letters from appropriate officials of administrative agencies, professional associations, licensing authorities, etc.). In addition, you should bear in mind that a presidential pardon is ordinarily a sign of forgiveness and is granted in recognition of the applicant's acceptance of responsibility for the crime and established good conduct for a significant period of time after conviction or release from confinement. A pardon is not a sign of vindication and does not connote or establish innocence. For that reason, when considering the merits of a pardon petition, pardon officials take into account the petitioner's acceptance of responsibility, remorse, and atonement for the offense.

20. State your reasons for seeking a pardon. Please refer to paragraph 4 of the Information and Instructions on Pardons, which indicates that a pardon is ordinarily a sign of forgiveness, not vindication. If you need more space, use the optional continuation page.


Anthony Riggio Acceptance, as well as delivery, of a pardon is essential to its validity; if rejected by the person to whom it is tendered, the court has no power to force it on him. United States v. Wilson, 7 Pet. 150.

Quaere whether the President of the United States may exercise the pardoning power before conviction.

A witness may refuse to testify on the ground that his testimony may have an incriminating effect, notwithstanding the President offers, and he refuses, a pardon for any offense connected with the matters in regard to which he is asked to testify.

There are substantial differences between legislative immunity and a pardon; the latter carries an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it, while the former is noncommittal, and tantamount to silence of the witness.

There is a distinction between amnesty and pardon; the former overlooks the offense, and is usually addressed to crimes against the sovereignty of the state and political offenses, the latter remits punishment and condones infractions of the peace of the state.

211 F. 492 reversed.

The facts, which involve the effect of a pardon of the President of the United States tendered to one who has not been convicted of a crime nor admitted the commission thereof, and also the necessity of acceptance of a pardon in order to make it effective, are stated in the opinion

United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that: A pardoned person must introduce the pardon into court proceedings, otherwise the pardon must be disregarded by the court. To do that, the pardoned person must accept the pardon.
