    Donald pardoned a series of White-Collar Criminals He Knows Socially, a move that has Deepened the Crisis Gripping American Justice.

    Included in that list is a guy whose family donated nearly 500,000 to Trump, a guy who tried to sell a Senate seat and was pardoned because Trump watched the guy's wife bash Comey on TV, and a guy who is close personal friends with Trump's personal attorney.

    An authoritarian is someone who not only punishes his perceived enemies, but he also rewards the friends - even if those friends are war criminals.

    Hopefully, stuff like this runs on Dem TV ads in 2020...... Trump's Willie Horton moment...

    Ya know, we should just hold the election the day after the D's pick a candidate... I cannot imagine there's more than a few thousand people left in America who haven't made their voting decision yet....

    Put all that advertising money to much better use...

    It's not authoritarian, it's stupid.

    Like Heroin dealers laughing their way out of jail because of DEMOCRATS.
    I can understand that guy with creepy hair, getting off instead of 14 years, because the guy the Democrats gave 15 years to shot my grandfather to death in a back. Another murderer of a cousin got six, yep, the back again. Then there were the 18 months given to execution killers in Atlanta...and the prosecutor that taught a college class I took who said the murderers would come in and say, "Hi, Mrs...I'm BACK," with big **** eating grin on their faces.

    Like most Americans, when I see liberals use the word 'crisis' I know to tune out, because you folks cried wolf a few hundred times too many now...

    The prisons are part of the swamp...have been since the racist Biden/Clinton crime bill.

    thankfully we have a president willing to clean up that mess.

    Glad you made the obvious comparison. Trump is as corrupt as the clintons.

    DEMOCRATS letting Arthur John Shawcross out after 14, and being nice because he told DEMOCRATS where a little kid's body was, that might be a crisis. Letting out creepy hair guy, not so much.

    Yes...I understand his pardoned personalities will be joining him in his campaign rallies. Various war criminals, tax evaders, extortionists and other assorted felons, whom are thankful for his friendship.

    Charging less doesn’t make one any less of a whore, just makes one a cheap whore

    His supporters do not care about Trumps corruption because he triggers liberals, and that is ALL that matters to them.

    this doesn't seem out of line with what i've seen in the past, although if I was advising him i'd be suggesting that it can wait till after the election, unless person a,b,c, can pull on the heart strings of minorities, which I think a few of the previous pardons did.

    Maybe they will....I know he's also had a few of the thousands of minorities that have been locked up because of the Clinton/Biden law he reformed and set them free with him as well.

    They are very thankful for his friendship...and so are their families. The party of Bull Conner Bloomberg is not their friend...they know that.

    That is good.

    Nope means you aren't really corrupt....Marc never even spent a day in jail.....and never will because of the millions he gave the Clintons.


    He only pardoned one of the people you described...Milken...who was released from prison decades ago, and has spent the decades funding medical research.....pardons are for folks like that, that admit their wrongs and turn their lives around giving back to the world. But maybe your bitterness towards losing the 2016 election, makes you hate funding for cancer research as well.

    Look at it this way...if he pardons the entire U.S. prison population, he'll still be roughly three quarters of a million popular votes behind what he lost to Clinton by in 2016.

    Well it's not just the inmates with harsh sentences that are impacted by the racist Clinton/Biden Crime law...it's their entire families. Not to mention those potentially impacted in the future by the party of Bull Conner Bloomberg's policies

    Yes...and some of those families may vote against Trump precisely because of that.

    You think families like their brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, son, daughters etc getting massively harsh sentences because of the Biden/Clinton crime bill?

    So you don't support criminal justice reform...gotcha....
