The former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prof Boljij Akinyemi has given reasons US president, Joe Biden, did not pardon his predecessor, Donald Trump, over his arraignment and trials in court.

 

Recall that on Tuesday, Trump, the former Republican President, had 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree after hearing charges against him stemming from a hush money payment to an adult film actress in 2016.

 

While featuring on Arise Television, on Thursday monitored by Daily Post, Akinyemi opined that Biden did not pardon Trump because the former President has not admitted to doing something wrong.

 

Akinyemi said, “First of all, both Ford and Nixon were Republicans, and it was Nixon who appointed Ford as his vice-president after having gotten into trouble over a bribe that he was supposed to take and he also was dragged before a court of law was convicted so the post, vice president, became vacant.

 

“So Mr Ford might have felt that he hold Nixon something. Do not forget that the Watergate episode so choked the United States that I think most people, even the Democrats, agreed with Ford that Americans should be made the trauma of putting the President on trial, putting him in handcuff and marching him off to jail especially since it was also clear Nixon’s involvement in the Watergate episode.

 

“So I believed that is why Mr Ford pardoned Nixon. Why would Biden not pardon Mr Trump? Well, I try to watch myself, to watch my mouth in this program because I am still trying to find anybody I respect who has any good thing to say about Mr Trump.

 

“Has he admitted that maybe he did not do something wrong? No, instead, look at what he has done. The judge refused to issue a Guide Order out of respect for Trump, but he put him on notice that he should be guided in what he would be saying about the case.

 

“As soon as he got back to Florida, he abused the District Attorney, he abused the judge, the wife of the judge and the daughter of the judge, and that is a man who the judge respected by not issuing a Guide Order.

 

“If I were the judge, I would have him horde back before me and issued a Guide Order, and the judge and everyone concerned may simply be saying, let us not heat the atmosphere. Trump is Trump. Let him keep saying whatever it is he says, but that would be a dangerous position to take because Trump has this way of winding up people and getting them to go and commit crimes.

 

“Let me give you one or two examples when the FBI went to search his house in Florida over secret documents that he was not supposed to have taken away from the White House. Trump went to lambast the FBI and called them all sorts of names.

 

“The following week, some lone wolf went to shoot up an FBI building, causing injury. That is the effect of Trump on his supporters. So I believe a Guide Order should be issued by the judge, and if he disobeys the Guide Order, lock him up.”
