The Leftist-Marxists running the state of New York are so consumed with hatred for President Donald Trump — who’s from there — that they are losing whatever perspective they had left following his victory over another resident, Hillary Clinton.
On Thursday, after reports broke that POTUS Trump was pardoning conservative activist, author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, the authoritarians at the New York Attorney General’s Office immediately tweeted that they would love to see a new state law giving them authority to unjustifiably jail people who’ve been pardoned for federal crimes.
“In fact,” writes Ben Shapiro at The Daily Wire, “they’d like to violate the constitutional prohibition on double jeopardy” contained in the Fifth Amendment. “Yes, really,” he added.
The Office of New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood — who just took over from former AG Eric Schneiderman after he was outed as being a serial abuser of women — tweeted this statement, in part:
President Trump’s latest pardon makes crystal clear his willingness to use his pardon power to thwart the cause of justice, rather than advance it. By pardoning Dinesh D’Souza, President Trump is undermining the rule of law by pardoning a political supporter who is an unapologetic convicted felon. First it was Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Then it was Scooter Libby. Now it’s Dinesh D’Souza. We can’t afford to wait to see who will be next.
So what does the ‘honorable’ AG Underwood want to see happen?
