From owning the President of Ukraine to a late night Pete Rose Pardon, so good. Ya never know with President Trump

A dead person is automatically free of all criminal/ civil liabilities, right?

 

[Brock Landers]

Any reason you capitalized the "G" in grammar?

Faux pas dude, faux pas.

So exactly what in the hell did he “pardon” him of ?

Not aware of any federal crimes he’s alleged to have committed - although gambling likely would have risen to that level technically (especially if it involved unreported income).

The “pardon” is nothing more than another PR stunt - he can’t reinstate Pete to MLB in any way and cannot clear his name.

Should Rose be in the HOF - that’s up to voters, but he should be eligible.

Why not “pardon” other equally banned players like Shoeless Joe ?

Better yet - why not focus on the real problems of the day and quit worrying about how you appear to the public ?? Facts are simple - he’s not eligible for re-election but is focused on maintaining a position of popularity- so he can sell his influence to help get whoever succeeds him on the ticket get elected - and if they lose he will melt down and blame them. Of course if they win - he’ll gladly accept all the credit.

Criminal would cease - as there is no one to punish. Very very rarely would the state/feds continue to pursue past death (generally just for show and in an attempt to impose a punitive fine that someone’s estate is responsible to pay).

Civil - no. The liabilities pass to their estate - for example if you owed someone money - that debt is part of your estate and is owed by the estate. Of course if you had more debt than assets - the assets are disbursed proportionately to debtors.

As stated before, 3rd term should be considered

As Djeff mentions. What was he pardoned for? What was the crime?

I hope Rose gets in. He deserves it but, I'm not sure this is going to sway HOF voters.

I see. I didn't know this part of civil cases.

He went to federal prison in Marion, IL for tax stuff after he was banned from baseball

So he was pardoned for Tax Evasion???? Wow.

I would hate to think any HOF voter kept Rose out because of that.
Every pro athlete and CEO has accountants that "adjust" their taxes annually.

Hopefully, that wasn't the case.

trump vs Obama show down!

Can you imagine the civil war that would occur?
EPIC.

having him NOT ever enter the hall keeps his legacy and name talked about more. once he were to get in, he would be forgotten very quickly.
