'60 Minutes' Airs Misleading Report on Trump Pardons. Election Interference By CBS.
Posted by freedomforall 2 days, 21 hours ago to Politics
Excerpt:
"In a segment titled “The Pardon Economy,” veteran CBS reporter Lesley Stahl alleges that Trump has upended the way U.S. presidents have dispensed pardons for “100 years or more” by creating a “new system” that involves lobbyists and high-priced “pardon brokers.”
Stahl’s report suggests that Trump has replaced the normal order – in which pardons typically go through an apolitical review by the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney– with a scheme that looks like “pay-to-play.” It has already led Democrats to vow they will investigate the issue if they retake the House in the November mid-term elections.
Stahl’s report also ignored the long history of wrongdoers paying exorbitant fees for lobbyists to get their pardons viewed by the Oval Office – most famously Bill Clinton’s brother, Roger, and Hillary’s brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham.
Although Stahl’s report quotes Trump officials denying her claims, a DOJ official who was outraged by her “misleading” report provided RealClearInvestigations with documents showing that well-connected D.C. insiders are routinely involved in the pardon process. "
And the fox guards the hen house:
"Now the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Jamie Raskin will likely lead these investigations. Raskin told CBS News that pardons are “kind of an underground market because not everybody knows how to get to it.”
CBS News failed to report, however, that one of the people who benefited from this underground market was Raskin himself, who Biden pardoned along with Liz Cheney on his final day in office."
----------------------------------------
Trump should ban CBS from all administration activities, sue 60 minutes and Leslie Stahl for billions, and appoint a grand jury to arraign Stahl for interfering in the 2026 election.
Gut the Witch, sieze all assets of CBS, and Stahl. It's long past time for insiders to understand that their connections will not save them but will drag them to ruin and death.

Lesley's investigation seems to have Stalled (pun intended) when she forgot to investigate Billy Clintons pardons of the power brokers (i.e. Mark Rich) of his day.
146 pardons and 36 commutations on his last day in office!
Typical "See B. S." & Lame Stream Media Agitprop.
But hey, cut the old bird some slack, she's only following orders.
Our President was quite correct when he declared todays media the enemy of the our republic.
But who's tells the media whom to attack?
Being fully transparent here, anyone who knows their history, knows that from the 1974 Church Committee Hearings, the "Agency" admitted it had placed "their people" in every news organization, be it print or broadcast, large or small, into the highest levels of the editorial management.
In the case of the most influential ones: NYT, WoPo, the big three networks et. el.: upwards of 30% of the editorial board is Agency.
And who gives the Agency their marching orders?
The Crown, Cabal, The City of London, the Committee of 300... Whatever their handle, we know who's really pulling the puppet's strings.
Even a passing glance of past and present CFR/Trilateral members is a who's who of the main stream media. This is no accident.
The Tavistock Institute targeted the press for this very reason. Along with the entertainment industry (read: Entrainment)
Finally: The timing.
Mid-Terms? Anyone? Builer? Anyone?
The Rats are on the run and they are being cornered. That makes for a very dangerous Rat.
Indeed, the timing is perfect if the target is to use the more easily manipulated sheep to protect the wolves, thus revealing the critical weakness of all democracies.
The people of Europe only source of "news" are the liars and thieves here in America.
They have Zero knowledge of all the good our President is doing both here and abroad.
The lying by omssion is not an accident.
As President Trump has repeatedly pointed out: the Legacy Media is the greatest Threat to both America and the world.
May as well call it the DCBS before it evolves into a possible future "American" ICBS after Muslims decapitate
their cowardly kissing up comrade Democrats for not converting to Islam.
