According to a man by the name of miles Taylor,
a former department of Homeland security official
Donald Trump in April of 2019, actually promised
to pardon any official at the department of
Homeland security, who did whatever they had
to do, including if it was illegal to stop
immigrants from coming into the United States.
According to Taylor who released this information
in an ad that aired this week during the Republican
national convention on Fox news, the president
down in Tucson, Arizona, uh, behind closed
doors, there were no cameras there, uh, gathered
up all of these Homeland security people and
said, y'all have to stop people from coming
across the border. Uh, this was actually in
violation of the law. People are legally allowed
to come in. You know, you cannot stop the
asylum seekers. You have to allow a certain
amount. You can't just straight up say no,
we're closing the border like Trump wanted
to do.
Um, but he told them to do it, even though
it was illegal. And he said, don't worry,
I'm gonna, pardon you. Uh, Taylor's own words
here. It was April of 2019. We were down at
the border and the president said to the senior
leadership of the Homeland security department
behind the scenes, we should not let anyone
else into the United States. And even though
we had been told on repeated occasions, that
the way he wanted to do it was illegal. His
response was to say, do it. If you get in
trouble, all part in you. So even when confronted
by members of his own government, telling
him that what he wants to do is illegal. His
response is essentially I don't care. I am
above the law and I will make you above law
too. And if ever there was a single statement
that really encompassed this entire administration.
That was it. That is what they are all about.
They don't care. They know that much of what
they have done is illegal, but they don't
care. As long, as long as Donald Trump has
people like William Barr as his attorney general,
he knows he can get away with anything. As
long as we have weak D uh, leadership running
the democratic party, Nancy Pelosi on one
side and Chuck Schumer on the other, he knows
he can run rough shot over these people. Oh
sure. They might make a couple of, uh, deals
with them. They might try to make things harder
for him, but at the end of the day, issues
like this law and order issues like Trump
likes to tweet, he can do it and he can get
away with it. But of course, you know, Pelosi
and Schumer are a small part of him getting
away with it after all, they're the ones who
aren't gonna, you know, will Pelosi is not
gonna allow impeachment of William Barr for
whatever reason.
I don't know, but it is the Republicans. This
is a Republican issue. This is a Republican
trait, and this has become a hallmark of the
Republican party itself. So I don't want to
get too bogged down in the democratic side
of this thing. They've got some blame, but
not nearly as, as much as these Republicans
have. This is how they operate now. And it's
not just Donald Trump. Look at Mitch McConnell.
Look at his wife, Elaine Chao, champ, transportation,
secretary who's by the way, still under investigation
for potential conflicts of interest of giving
preferential treatment to her. Husband's donors
back in Kentucky, sending them millions of
dollars in contracts after they sent tons
of cash to Mitch, his campaigns, a little
bit of a pay to play possibility happening
there. And that's the kind of stuff we see
all the time from the Republican party. It's
not just Trump. Sure. It's worse with Trump.
Sure. There's more eyeballs on Trump. So it's
more publicized, but this is happening throughout
the Republican party. Donald Trump is just
very bad at it and that's why he always gets
caught. He may not always get punished, but
he always gets caught.
