Why would Kemp do that? He's not a MAGA guy. I'm not up on GA politics, but I'm not aware of any love loss between Kemp and Trump. From what I can tell, Kemp is an old-time Republican. Not a MAGA Republican. He's conservative, but like me, he respects the process more than any given individual or party. I could be totally wrong about him, but that's what I have gleaned so far from my news feed.
But, in principle, 'yes'...Kemp could pardon him. It would be an excrement storm if he did. Of course, it might be an excrement storm from the other side if he didn't. Not an enviable position to be in.Have you read the charges and acts? As in, looked at the articles?
https://dailycaller.com/2023/08/15/jonathan-turley...'The indictment is, as we expected founded, on this broad racketeering claim,' Turley said. 'You got eighteen individuals that were charged. Willis seems to have charged everything and everyone as allowing God to sort them out. You know, you look at this indictment and every call, every tweet, every speech seems to be a separate criminal act that composes this conspiracy. Stuff like this
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23909543-2...On or about the 4th day of November2020, DONALD JOHN TRUMP made a nationally televised speech falsely declaring victory in the 2020 presidential election.Whoa. Real smoking gun there. Was Arizona even done counting then?
On or about the 20th day of November 2020, DONALD JOHN TRUMP and MARK RANDALL MEADOWS met with Majority Leader of the Michigan Senate Michael Shirkey, Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives Lee Chatfield, and other Michigan legislators in the Oval Office at the White House, and DONALD JOHN TRUMP made false statements concerning fraud in the November 3, 2020, presidential election in Michigan. RUDOLPH WILLIAM LOUIS GIULIANI joined the meeting by telephone. This meeting was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.Uh, huh. No court cases had closed by the 20th of November. More nonsense on stilts. Why weren't these Michigan Legislators charged?
Throw in the fact that Georgia law
doesn't even require a mugshot if there's a recent picture of you (Did you know that?) and the fact that the clerk leaked the charges early - totally by accident, of course - it's beyond obvious that this is a political prosecution.
If the Will Of The People is that Trump raises his right hand in January of 2025 and is sworn in as the duly elected President, Kemp won't stand in the way.
I would respectfully suggest that you guys think Long. And. Hard. about what you're doing here and what it means going forward.
You think the national divide is bad now? Wait until this plays out. Right now the hatred runs 1 way: from left to anyone they think supports Trump. You guys aren't going to like it one bit when the "Deplorables" and whomever else the democrats and media declare to be Unclean start the hate flowing in the other direction.
Not one bit.
