Pardons for sale

[Stalin]

$US1 million in the hat will buy you a pardon from the frump grifter..

This is what the government of the US has become...

sad...

There have been allegations dating back to Trump’s first term that he was selling pardons.

A sexual abuse lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani in 2023 alleged that Trump’s lawyer was selling pardons for $2 million and splitting the money with Trump.

Giuliani has been shipped out of Trump’s orbit, and it appears that pardons are still for sale.

The New York Times reported:

Mr. Walczak’s pardon application argued that his criminal prosecution was motivated more by his mother’s efforts for Mr. Trump than by his admitted use of money earmarked for employees’ taxes to fund an extravagant lifestyle.

Still, weeks went by and no pardon was forthcoming, even as Mr. Trump issued clemency grants to hundreds of other allies.

Then, Ms. Fago was invited to a $1-million-per-person fund-raising dinner last month that promised face-to-face access to Mr. Trump at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla.

Less than three weeks after she attended the dinner, Mr. Trump signed a full and unconditional pardon.

The report is not a direct connection between cash and pardons, but it doesn’t seem to be a coincidence that there have been reports of pardons being sold with at least some of the money doing to Trump, but it would be an awfully big coincidence if a pardon were issued three weeks after giving Trump a million dollars.

There is a lot of corruption in this administration, but it is important that it doesn’t become normalized. Trump has spent his adult life skirting around the edges of the law by using other people as an end-around to keep his hands clean, or at least avoid any accountability.

Because of the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision, Trump’s potential corruption can be more out in the open.

The country is less than 6 months into Trump’s term, and the signs of rampant corruption are everywhere.

More Evidence Emerges That Trump Seems To Be Selling Pardons

A new report suggests that Trump issued a pardon after a family member spent $1 million to attend a dinner.

Even if true, as far as legalities go, "the money was for the dinner experience".
Just like prostitutes don't charge for "sex", they charge for time.
Sorry but it looks like you got yourself another big juicy NOTHINGBURGER

NEXT THING YOU WILL CLAIM HES A ALIEN , CONSPERICY THEROYS ABOUND AMONG THE MORONS YOURS IS JUST ANOTHER JOKE.

 

[Stalin]

An alien would probably have a shred of decency or adherence to the rules.

The man is a crook - plain and simple - and there are 77 million losers ready, willing and able to follow him into the financial abyss.

YES AND PUTIN AND BIDEN WERE VERY HONEST MEN LIKE YOU

Even if true, as far as legalities go, "the money was for the dinner experience".

Of course it's true. It's just you dont want to admit it.
Only yesterday Trump pardon that scumbag and his wife because his mother paid the million dollars a plate at Mara Lago. But let's not remember that unfortunate little episode.

more graft and corruption

Campaign assistance appears to be a common denominator for some Trump pardons. The New York Times reported on Tuesday, for example, that Trump’s April pardon of convicted nursing home executive Paul Walczak came after Walczak’s mother raised millions for Trump and other Republicans, sought to publicize the diary of Biden’s daughter, and attended a $1-million-per-person fundraising dinner last month. Walczak even cited his mother’s pro-Trump political activity in his pardon application.

And on Wednesday, as Martin took to social media again to proclaim it “pardon day,” Trump granted clemency to even more individuals, including pardoning former GOP Rep. Michael Grimm of New York. That means Trump has now pardoned no fewer than eight convicted former GOP members of Congress, between his first and second terms.

Earlier in the day, Trump suggested that next in line for pardons could be two men convicted of conspiring to kidnap Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. (“It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job,” Trump said.)


Beyond the pardons mentioned above, Trump has also pardoned or granted clemency to:

• Former Republican Connecticut Gov. John Rowland, who was convicted on two separate occasions in recent decades
• Mark Bashaw, an officer who formerly served at the Army Public Health Center and was found guilty of violating
• the Biden administration’s military Covid safety rules by a court martial
• Trevor Milton, who with his wife gave Trump’s reelection effort $1.8 million just a month before the 2024 election\
• and had been represented by lawyers with ties to Trump
• Ross Ulbricht, whom Trump had pledged to pardon during the 2024 campaign as an appeal to potential
• libertarian supporters
• Two key witnesses in the Biden impeachment inquiry (Devon Archer and Jason Galanis)
• Brian Kelsey, a Republican former state senator from Tennessee
• Ex-Illinois Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who has supported Trump and called himself a “Trumpocrat”
• Former Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore, a Republican who some have labeled “Lady Trump”
• About two dozen people convicted of blocking access to abortion clinics

In case the politics of that last one weren’t clear enough, Trump announced the pardons just a day before he addressed the anti-abortion-rights “March for Life” in January.

Indeed, you have to strain pretty hard to find Trump pardons or grants of clemency that don’t have some kind of political element.

We don't know who was paid to sign pardons with an autopen under Biden.
