CNN Embarrasses Rep. Goldman With Old Clip of Him Saying Biden Wouldn’t Pardon Hunter
The best part is that CNN kept Goldman on the screen so we could see his reaction.
CNN’s Brianna Keiler confronted Rep. Dan Goldman (R-NY) with a July 2023 clip of him saying President Joe Biden would not pardon Hunter.
The best part is that CNN kept Goldman on the screen so we could see his reaction:
BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN: You went out on a limb by backing up Biden when he said there would not be a pardon in July of 2023, just after that plea deal fell through. This is what you said. I want to watch.
QUESTION: Do you think a pardon for his son would be a mistake?
REP. DAN GOLDMAN: Yes. And I don’t think there’s any chance that President Biden is going to do that, unlike his predecessor, who pardoned all of his friends and anyone who had any access to him… And I think you see that in this case, where he kept on — and Merrick Garland kept on — a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney to investigate the president’s son. If there is not an indication of the independence of the Department of Justice beyond that, I don’t know what we could look for.
BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN: I mean, what does that feel like, watching yourself back then reassuring people that Biden was not going to issue a pardon for his son?
REP. DAN GOLDMAN: Yeah, and I think that if that plea agreement and that plea deal had gone through, there would be no pardon.
That was a satisfactory outcome already fallen.
BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN: It had already fallen through… When you reacted, this was when the deal had fallen through. And I hear what you’re saying about the Kash Patel appointment, but you know, you took him at his word. So what does that feel like, knowing that he’s gone back on it?
REP. DAN GOLDMAN: Well, as I said, I’m disappointed that after the plea fell through and it became clear about why it did — including Republican congressional intervention in this case, which made this case very unique and very different from any other case — I think that we all, perhaps I should have as well, recognized that this is not the normal prosecution. I said many times that if Hunter Biden were not Hunter Biden, he would never be charged with these crimes.
When you start to see what Donald Trump is planning to do with his Department of Justice and with his FBI, and the degree to which Hunter Biden has already been shamelessly attacked as a private citizen by Republicans, I certainly understand why the president felt like this miscarriage of justice should not carry forward, and that he should not be at risk of retributive prosecution for political reasons, which is not the proper way to execute our rule of law.
BRUTAL: Brianna Keilar on CNN just made Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) watch a clip of himself insisting that Biden would never pardon Hunter. She then asked: "What does that feel like?"
They even kept him on-screen as the video played so we could watch his reaction. pic.twitter.com/uC6EM06Ikh

How many “private citizens” get shuttled to and from their jaw-droppingly illegal influence-peddling meetings on Air Force Two, in the company of the Big Guy Vice President??
Goldman is still denying that.
(I didn’t say he’s in denial, because I don’t think he is. “In denial” would mean he truly doesn’t believe the accusation, and I think he does believe it, and is falsely denying it.)
Denying which part? The influence-peddling part? Because the fact that Hunter was shuttled around on Air Force Two is unassailable.
Of course everyone and his brother knows what has been going on with the “Biden businesses”. But, what else can Goldman say? He’s going down with the ship … and the dems are going to make sure of it by taking all the life rafts before he has a chance to change his mind.
Goldman is really the bottom of the barrel and he’s not too bright, either.
He (and the whole Dem Party) is denying what you call “influence-peddling”. Except that it wasn’t influence peddling at all; it was outright bribery, and Joe is the primary guilty one, Hunter was only his accomplice.
But I don’t think he actually believes it isn’t true. So he’s denying it but he isn’t in denial.
TYPO

So according to Goldman, it’s the judge’s fault she didn’t hold her tongue and hide her disgust and accept the plea agreement. If she had we wouldn’t be in this mess. Yeah, right.
He seriously thinks that plea deal would have taken everything else Hunter could have been charged with in federal court in the future off the table? Joe would have let his boy have a criminal record for the rest of his life? This blanket pardon still would have happened even if that plea deal had been accepted, especially with Trump coming back to the White House. The Bidens have too much at stake.
My congressman!
And at that he’s an improvement over my previous representative, Yvette Clarke.
That’s frightening. He’s absolutely loathsome.
As I recall the plea deal wording gave immunity for Everything, past and future. What would be added if Biden then gave a further pardon?
Pardons cannot be issued for future crimes
That’s windyfir’s point. The plea deal, he says, did cover future crimes, while a pardon can’t, so why the pardon?
First of all, the answer is because the plea deal went away. The judge asked the parties point blank what each thought it meant, and it transpired that there was no meeting of the minds. Or rather, there had been, but the judge made Biden’s lawyers say the quiet part out loud, and the prosecution couldn’t bring itself to acknowledge it. It loudly proclaimed, “no, that wasn’t the deal”, and that was the end of it.
Second, I can’t imagine the deal could possibly have covered future offenses. I think windyfir must be misremembering.
The evidence continues to mount that CNN is no longer a sanctuary network for lying Democrat politicians.
My tinfoil hat says you’re too easily impressed.
CNN sees Trump arriving and is only reprising the survival technique of the French Vichy prostitute corps.
“Don’t hit me sir — are you not entertained?”
I watched the whole clip on Youtube. Brianna Keiler did an excellent job of interviewing him. She didn’t interrupt or argue. She wasn’t partisan. But she also did not let Goldman off the hook when he failed to answer the questions she asked. When Goldman stated that Hunter was at risk in the future because Trump’s Justice Department/FBI will be fascist (or something), she logically and cleverly asked the sitting congressman whether what he was saying means that Americans can’t trust the justice system anymore. Goldman looked like a deer in headlights. He had no way out.
Blonde hair?
Goldman is an absolutely shameless liar.
From the sound of it, you’re calling of a congressman!
I never thought it possible, Goldman is more despicable than Adam Schiff.
“REP. DAN GOLDMAN: Well, as I said, I’m disappointed that after the plea fell through and it became clear about why it did — including Republican congressional intervention in this case, which made this case very unique and very different from any other case — I think that we all, perhaps I should have as well, recognized that this is not the normal prosecution.”
That this POS could even say this in obvious recognition that the lawfare and resultant kangaroo courts used to politically persecute President Trump simply screams a clear lack of self awareness, projection and abject hypocrisy, the SOP of the Democrat Party.
With Goldman’s well-established willingness to lie directly to the camera without fear of embarrassment or ridicule, I think that he has a good shot at getting his own nightly show on CNN. He’s a perfect fit.
I’m reminded of what Goldman said regarding Hunter’s call to daddy. He just called to talk about weather. Goldman is the perfect example of a democrat.
