That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion."

Trump’s second-term pardons are historic in their enormity—billions in fines erased, allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule, says Cato’s Dan Greenberg.

What's even more insane is that he pardoned the Binance CEO who had to pay back $4.8 BILLION to the government (on a GUILTY PLEA deal). Luckily, the government had already received that money. $4.8 billion. Binance allowed money laundering to fund terrorist groups all over the

Did I read that another Jan 6th insurrectionist, pardoned by the Felon in Chief was convicted of child sexual abuse today?

Just as the pardons from whoever follows Trump into the White House will probably dwarf his pardons. Corruption breeds more corruption. The Overton window is fun that way.

Biden’s pardon of Fauci, in and of itself, forgave the man for fourteen years of Gain of Function research that allegedly rillions of dollars.

That’s cause a pardon during the Trump presidency starts at a cool million dollar donation or investment in a Trump org the people who have a million sitting around likely did significantly more high dollar crimes…. He’s pardoning them for money not because they deserve it.

We’re only 14 months into Trump’s second term. Biden’s total is over four years. Let’s look per month Biden’s pardons eliminated $14,667 in penalties per month Trump’s pardons eliminated $1,071,428,571 in penalties per month! Yes, that’s ~$1.1 BILLION per month! Outrageous!

TRUMP AMENDMENT Trump likes to put his name on things Trump Amendment to constitution (after he leaves of course): Puts limits on pardon power, allows Congress to fully investigate all pardons (including calling POTUS to testify under oath) & reject them if they find them not in

Kinda fascinating to think about except when you consider that Democrat district attorneys around the country have probably caused billions on damages with the criminals they let pray on the public

A difference in degree is not a difference in kind. Condemn all such corrupt pardons. Whether by a Democrat or a Republican.
