    Chris Geidner Retweeted Donald J. Trump

    The president of the United States is eagerly promoting (1) the special access that some have to him (2) in the exercise of his presidential powers (3) that have been of particular public interest due to the fact the a number of his associates are indicted or under investigation.https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/987768453338673152 …

    Sylvester Stallone called me with the story of heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson. His trials and tribulations were great, his life complex and controversial. Others have looked at this over the years, most thought it would be done, but yes, I am considering a Full Pardon!

        Aside from all of that, a likely reason why Trump would consider this: Obama didn’t do it.https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20170127/bridgeport/boxer-jack-johnson-pardon-barack-obama-pardon-denied-heavyweight-champ/ …

        I should have numbered as (1) the “eagerly promoting” aspect of this, and I would add: (5) that he is publicly discussing it pre-decision and (6) that it represents continued consideration of pardons outside of the normal system (applications going through DOJ and then to POTUS).

        Don't certain people have access to every President?

        Certain people do have access to presidents, but I’m not quite sure I understand your point.

        Well, I added to the thread with more explanation, so I think it’s pretty clear at this point.

        He’s pissed that the news media is hardcore covering Barbara Bush’s funeral and not talking about him. His version of a temper tantrum as usual.

        President Soprano threatened Cohen’s family today. Read his a.m. tweets and see if you agree. Why bring up Cohen’s family? Obstruction of justice and witness tampering are crimes even if delivered via Twitter.

        So, in your reality, a friend or acquaintance has never called you to share an injustice? Wow, just wow, get out more and get better friends, it happens all over this country. And when you are president, sometimes you can right a wrong.

        Good God. You freely admit that your only education is obtained through social conversations. What a telling trait. By the way - have you. Located Frederick Douglas yet??
