Trump announces wave of pardons, including Papadopoulos and former lawmakers Hunter and Collins

Quote

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a wave of lame duck pardons, including two for men who pleaded guilty in Robert Mueller's investigation, as well as ones for Republican allies who once served in Congress and military contractors involved in a deadly shooting of Iraqi civilians.

The pardons of former campaign aide George Papadopoulos, former US congressmen Duncan Hunter and Chris Collins, and the four Blackwater guards involved in the Iraq massacre kick off what is expected to be a flurry of pardons and commutations in the coming weeks as Trump concludes his term.

Also included in the batch announced on Tuesday are Alex van der Zwaan, the Dutch lawyer who was sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to lying to Mueller investigators; two Border Patrol agents convicted in 2006 of shooting and wounding an unarmed undocumented immigrant and then covering it up; and several people convicted of non-violent drug crimes serving lengthy sentences....

It was Chris Christie in 2005 who prosecuted Jared Kushner's father, Charles for tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering. Karen

The circle is complete I suppose.  Corruption and crime doesn't matter when you're associated with Trump.  I think of the millions spent on investigation and conviction.  

I can only hope some other poor souls that have been rotting in jail for nonviolent crimes that have commissioned him for mercy get a break.

The pardons further reflect Trump's corrupt incompetence, IMV.

Republicans are aberrations, rule breakers, antisocial, pathological, against the grain. Evolutionary biologists has a term for them. It's how natural selection works. New experimental models, except before society they would have been banished from society to die out. Now, they survive and will always present a problem for society because of their ingrained hypocrisy and inability to experience shame. Sociopaths are now flourishing and we will have to live with their crimes unless our LAWS extend to everyone including the president! Otherwise, he's essentially a monarch, the very same thing that prompted the creation of this country.

I would hazard a guess based on what's been revealed over the past few years, that Trump in his lifetime is probably one of the most prolific serial criminals that ever lived. When you consider how many lawsuits he's been involved in, how many people he's repeatedly conned especially with this latest appeal to overthrow the election and his contributors to his fund, he's definitely up at the top of criminal enterprises. 

Joe Biden's AG needs to prosecute Trump and his family and his cronies! If this doesn't occur our political system is doomed!

Hot off the Press Secretary's  press release:

President Trump granted pardons to 73 individuals and commuted 79 other individuals sentences,

Full pardons granted to 2 members of Trump Campaign: Elliot Broidy --former RNC Deputy Finance Chair and drum roll -- Steve Bannon "related to fraud stemming from a political project"  I.e stealing Trump supporters funds for "Charity" he set up to build Trumps wall.

Trump, Trumps children, Giuliani, and riotors not pardoned (unless silent pardons not released)  as heavily advised against to decrease legal liability re pardoned for perceived crime.

Sendoff from Andrews AFB in 3 hours so Trump can land on Palm Beach on Air Force One to hopefully adoring crowd.
