Trump's pardons make a mockery of claims that he cared about corruption

[bodysong]

Would someone please cue up the artwork piece
featuring Trump dressed as the Joker villian ?

tagline- Does Trump care about corruption ?
He cares deeply- corruption makes his dreams
come true. It funds his lifestyle.

Trump's pardons again make a mockery of Republican
claims that he ever cared about corruption

February 18, 2020

Remember how Republicans spent months insisting that
Donald Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine not because
he wanted to cheat on the 2020 elections but because he really,
really cared about corruption?

Now he’s handing out pardons and sentence commutations to
a corrupt politician, a corrupt former law enforcement official,
a corrupt lobbyist, and a couple corrupt rich guys.

Gee, you must be right. Presidents are all corrupt, and we just need to live with that. KAG.

 

[markspa901]

Yeah they all are in some way. It's politics.

Not sure why one would be singled out.

 

[markspa901]

Actually the thought just occurred to me - Trump is a Republican so he must be smeared.

Let’s see an accounting of the 1,927!
How many like Trump’s famous Kadasian release are in there?
Pardons have a reason, but some of the bullshit is crazy
Yesterday they were screaming about a Puerto Rican terrorist Obama pardoned
Real fact(?) commuted 3 months early sent home to serve time in home detention

It would be nice to get pure fucking facts vs bullshit propaganda

Debartello? Who cares!! He got in Hall of Fame. How much did Trump get for doing nothing. The little fucker ruined his own name. Now people were reminded that he is a shit

Trump is checking to see how far his supporters will go down the hole to degradation with him. Pretty far, right, board Trumpettes?

Do your own homework. I'm sure every single one Obama pardoned were clean as a whistle.

Well, we do know that every single one of Trump's wasn't--put together they all spelled out what Trump's own corruption criminality is.

Whose alt are you, by the way? And why did you bother? Felt ashamed of the earlier ones?

Trump pardoned Alice Marie Johnson - 63 year old in on drug charges. Was that corrupt?

Rod Blagojevich:
Why did Trump just free a jailed Democrat?

-Tara McKelvey
BBC Washington

His (Rod Blagojevich's) release date was projected for 2024
until Trump stepped in.

Before he was put behind bars in 2012, Blagojevich had appeared
on Trump's Celebrity Apprentice TV show.

On Trump's favourite news channel Fox News last year,
Blagojevich's wife, Patti, depicted her husband as the victim
of over-zealous prosecutors, drawing parallels with the
( Presiderp's) experience during the Mueller investigation.

Trump's critics say he has gone further in the way he has
politicised clemency.

David Litt, a former Obama speechwriter and the author
of a memoir, Thanks, Obama, says Trump's clemency for
Blagojevich reveals "his own victimhood narrative".

He says it will "send a message to other people who might
be considering a variety of corrupt practises: if you get caught,
he'll have your back".

The White House announced Tuesday that Trump granted a full pardon
to former Texas construction company owner Paul Pogue

Pogue's son Ben donated $85,000 to the campaign committee
in August, while Pogue's wife Ashleigh contributed $50,000
that same month. Ben Pogue made an in-kind air travel contribution
of more than $75,000 the following month. The Pogues also donated
the maximum $5,600 each to Trump's campaign and made "several
large contributions" to the Republican National Committee, according
to the report.

The contributions were far larger than the family gave to
Republicans in the past.

The influx of donations from the Pogues was not the only campaign
boost for Trump. Trump's pardon of Milken came after billionaire
Nelson Petz, who made his fortune from Milken's illicit schemes,
hosted the "most expensive" fundraiser since Trump took office,
according to The Washington Post.

Clemency for individuals tied to Trump's campaign fundraising
drew accusations that his pardons "appear to be literally for sale."

The decision is sound and proper, but some of the Judge's comments are not.

A federal judge has dismissed a federal lawsuit by ex-governor and ex-con Rod Blagojevich seeking a return to public office by quoting Dr. Seuss. U.S.
