NFL greats cheer as Trump pardons former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr.

The White House announced Tuesday that President Trump is granting a full pardon to former San Francisco 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo Jr., who was convicted of failing to report a bribe to the former governor of Louisiana when he pleaded guilty in 1998.

NFL greats including Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, Charles Haley, and Jim Brown were on hand at the White House, expressing their support for DeBartolo, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.

"I take my hat off to Donald Trump for what he did," Rice said, crediting DeBartolo for his former team's success in the 1980s and 90s.

“He wanted us to win and I think he’s the main reason why we won so many Super Bowls," said Rice, who played on three of DeBartolo's Super Bowl-winning teams.

“I’m going to make it real simple," Brown said. "Ed DeBartolo is a great man.”

The 49ers won five championships under DeBartolo's ownership. He stepped down as owner in 1997 after two Louisiana newspapers reported he would be indicted for gambling fraud.

DeBartolo's guilty plea was in connection to his payment of $400,000 to former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards in exchange for a riverboat gambling license. He avoided prison, was fined $1 million and was suspended for a year by the NFL. But the episode effectively ended his NFL career.

He was previously denied pardons from Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Nobody is surprised that it's a rich, Republican crook he pardoned.

President Trump issued a spree of clemency decisions Tuesday for high-profile figures -- most notably commuting the sentence of former Democratic Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted for attempting to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat when he was elected president.

Trump confirmed to reporters that he's granted clemency for the ex-governor, calling his sentence "ridiculous."

“He’ll be able to go back home with his family after serving eight years in jail,” Trump said.

Trump also said he's granted clemency to financier Michael Milken, who pleaded guilty for violating U.S. securities laws.

Further, Trump confirmed he has pardoned former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, who was sentenced on tax fraud charges in 2010. It comes on the same day the White House announced Trump was granting a full pardon to former San Francisco 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo Jr., who was convicted of failing to report a bribe to the former governor of Louisiana when he pleaded guilty in 1998.

Justice breaking out all over America!

Why would anyone be surprised that he would commute the sentence of someone who tried to sell a senate seat? I mean that's probably at the top of his to do list. And tax fraud? I'm sure trump wishes that wasn't a crime.

And what about those tied to the Russia Collusion Hoax?

Joseph diGenova, a former U.S. attorney who informally advised Trump during the probe, argues that Flynn, Stone and Papadopoulos should be considered for clemency.

“I think they should not be given prison sentences, and if they are, I recommend they’re given commutations of sentences,” diGenova told Fox News. “They are victims, not defendants. They are victims of a politicized environment of prosecution and they have been abused.”

Toensing and DiGenova Were Deeply Involved in Giuliani’s Extortion Racket

This guy?

That's what today was all about. Setting up the pardons for his criminal friends. He's is a national disgrace.

You need to learn proper legal terms like, "HOAX"

Trump reportedly worked with 2 'off the books' lawyers to pressure Ukraine for damaging information about Joe Biden, in addition to Giuliani

This guy?

But Acquittal?

And Hillary wasn't even impeached.

Gotta be a WINNER to get impeached, not a LOSER.

And only losers get impeached.

The issue is "should it be legal"? That's why there is a debate.

Do you think that a woman should be able to abort a baby at any time, including up to birth. It appears Bernie would say yes, based on his answer.

Am I wrong to oppose him based on that?

No, it is my constitutional right to oppose murder

Adendum= abortion up to birth is not the Law of the land, so saying it is a woman's right to have any legal abortion is evading the issue of Sander's support of abortion up to birth

The Dems are just sore losers.

BTW, Clinton got impeached. Is he a loser too?

No, you have every right to oppose whoever you want for whatever you want. And to be honest, we are never going to resolve our differences on abortion, so I'm kind of tired of talking about it. But feel free to carry on by yourself because I wouldn't want to inhibit your freedom of speech.

Yes he is. They both deserved it and both were impeached.

agreed.

It’s never been this hard for companies to find qualified workers

-About 7 in 10 companies reported talent shortages in 2019, the worst level ever, according to Manpower Group.

-The level is more than three times higher than a decade ago.

-Job placement professionals say companies need to pay more and provide better training.

The data comes as the Labor Department reports that there are still about 670,000 more job vacancies than there are unemployed potential workers.

TRUMPONOMICS getting it done!

So now you're advocating for free college so we have qualified workers for the jobs of the future?

Paying more as your source indicates would help.

yes, and all I do is speak and vote, so its absurd for people to say I'm forcing my beliefs on people. but that's a primary argument antitheists use

There's also the mindless babbling. You must have forgotten that one.

Watching you deal with these guys is like watching a dog shaking a rag in its mouth.

This article is way to funny. I cannot believe I agree with a stupid liberal for once.

trump worried about bloomberg?

dumbest take ever. trump would be begging for a bloomberg nomination. voter turnout would be worse than hillary. trump would've cruised to an easy W.

stupid take.

Do you find it interesting that Bloomy has Obama's backing?

he does not have obama's backing for 2020. no one does as of now.

Have you not seen all of Bloomy's ads with Obama praising him, shaking his hand and such?

Biden would like to be showing all the good footage he has with Obama but you can't do that without Obama's permission.

Bloomy has to have gotten Obama's blessing to go with it.

Biden was vice president to obama. all the good footage is already public.

that was a ridiculous reach lmfao.

No, you have to have the President's, or ex Prez's permission to use his image or voice in an endorsement.

-Because of the right of publicity, presidents can file a lawsuit to prevent their names and images from being used without permission for advertisements, endorsements, and other commercial purposes. President Obama, for example, objected early on to blatant attempts to make money off of his name, including a Times Square billboard showing him wearing a clothing manufacturer's jacket. But under the First Amendment, public figures such as presidents can't prevent their names or pictures from being used for other reasons, such as news reporting, commentary, parody, or education.

first, the refs need to start holding you accountable for posting crap with no sources. you've been doing it more and more lately and its pathetic.

2nd, again, do you have a link saying obama endorsed anybody? or is this once again just 40 talking out the side of your neck?

literally nothing in that link supports your claim that obama endorsed bloomberg for president, or anybody for president in 2020.

literally nothing.

If you add 1 + 1 you will get 2.

If you need permission to use O for an endorsement, Bloomy must have gotten his permission.

It also stands to reason that Biden either didn't ask or was denied permission.

Come on 40. These liberals use education to brain wash folks on politics and create robots. They threw reading, writing, and arithmetic out many years ago. 1 + 1 is like a foreign language to them.

Mike Bloomberg is touting his relationship with Barack Obama in a pair of new TV ads backed by $16 million so far. If you didn't know better, the spots might lead you to believe the former president had endorsed the former mayor of New York.

He has not, as several Obama alumni have been quick to point out. And the vision the ads conjure up of a close partnership between "a great president and an effective mayor" leaves out the repeated criticism on a variety of issues that Bloomberg has leveled at Obama.

The billionaire New Yorker has long coveted the White House himself and is prone to bashing what he sees as Washington dysfunction, often armchair quarterbacking what he saw as the failures of leadership by Obama.

Obama is the most popular figure in the Democratic Party. And all of the candidates, especially his former vice president, Joe Biden, have sought to align themselves with him, even as he has remained aloof and declined to endorse anyone.

again, where is your evidence? talking out the side of your neck.

the fact that you even believe this lets me know the education system in this country needs some work. too many clueless sheep backing their massah's in this country.
