Should try a video of AI Trump talking about pardoning her on the off chance that he'll see it and think those are his ideas. Worked for Medbeds.

Kevin Reddington posed the request on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, even though the president can only pardon federal crimes.

LOL. What a constant circus.

Thank goodness Good Morning America is giving this woman's lawyer a platform to speak directly to the president of the United States. This is certainly the most pressing issue the country faces today.

At least it might distract him from more harmful pursuits

It won't.

Yeah because it's not about him and doesn't profit him.

Although he was angry after the jury was hung, Reddington said, he defends the right of the juror “to be a holdout for forever,” noting that’s how the American judicial system works.

Did you really get so pee-pants mad that you called the goddamn president? What a terrible lawyer.

I mean... given who the president is, if it works out would make him a fantastic lawyer. But fantastic lawyers are not necessarily good people.

What’s a pardon cost these days?

Makes sense that a piece of shit would attempt to appeal to another piece of shit.

Trump loves killing kids so it's not a bad idea lol

Can't kill the children if they aren't born. Insisting they be born keeps control over women and gives them more children to attack. Win/win.

Trump can't do anything for her. She's being tried by the STATE. Trump is FEDERAL. Like even if he wanted to, he can't do much besides maybe tell the Governor of Massachusetts to pardon her? Can they do that? I know it varies state by states if Governor's can pardon.
