Al Sharpton floats Biden pardon for Dothan half-brother, pastor convicted of fraud, tax evasion

“From the civil rights community, we’ve been saying he ought to be pardoning people like Marilyn Mosby, who was the prosecutor in Baltimore, Jesse Jackson Jr. the congressman. I have a brother in Alabama who was doing civil work, Reverend Kenny Glasgow. We’re looking at people that need pardons that have come out and done well, served the community. That ought to be the standard. I think to forecast what people may face I think is something that should be discussed, but I would hope he also looks at pardoning people that have maybe made a mistake but turned around and done the right thing. That’s what pardons are for, and I think we should not pervert that,” Sharpton said.

Glasgow pleaded guilty to the crimes on Feb. 24, 2023.

According to court documents, Glasgow founded two nonprofit organizations, The Ordinary Peoples Society and Prodigal Child Project.

He then solicited donations from other nonprofits and foundations, representing to them and to the IRS that he would use those donations for charitable purposes. Instead, Glasgow withdrew $407,450 in cash from the accounts of one of his nonprofit organizations in 2018.

Glasgow used the money for his own benefit and was thus required to report the funds as income on his tax return. However,In an attempt to conceal this activity, Glasgow provided erroneous information to his tax preparer, causing the preparer to complete IRS forms for Glasgow's nonprofit organizations that vastly understated the income of the organizations and omitted the financial benefits Glasgow received from them. From 2016 to 2019, Glasgow withdrew a total of $1,300,848in cash from The Ordinary Peoples Society and Prodigal Child Project, never accounting for that money on the nonprofits' IRS forms or any tax returns of his own.

I hope Biden agrees. He will become the standard for pardoning anybody.

Hey Formerly Fat Al, I got a better idea. How about a real Justice Department under President Trump and a real AG do a forensic colonoscopy of your fraudulent National Action Network fake charity (for things such as the Kamala Harris $500K interview payoff) and then send you to prison to join your brother.

To quote Oprah “AND HERE’S A PARDON FOR YOU and ‘HERE’S A PARDON FOR YOU”.

Yep, and Trump should immediately after swearing in issue a blanket pardon of all past and future crimes for all American citizens who voted for him in the last election. Then just before 2028 election issue the same pardon for anyone who votes straight republican ticket in the upcoming election. Why not? The dems confirmed the president could pardon anyone he wants for anything and everything for any reason or even no reason.

Didn’t his brother get the memo? Tax evasion isn’t a big deal anymore, thanks to Ja’Biden.

This is an idea the GOP should ponder.

Add up the number of black people given the new Biden pardons, and the women, and compare them to the totals of whites, Asians and males.

There should be far more of the protected woke class ones or else the GOP should blast the Biden racism and sexism.
