Trump grants clemency to 20 people
Washington post ^ | December 22, 2020 | Pardons

Posted on 12/22/2020 5:50:21 PM PST by Responsibility2nd

President Trump granted clemency on Tuesday to 20 people, including three former Republican members of Congress and two people who were convicted of crimes as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

He also pardoned four military contractors convicted of killing 14 unarmed Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in 2007, and extended clemency to several people convicted of drug offenses.

The pre-Christmas pardons and commutations came as the president has been exploring how to reward friends and allies in the waning days before leaving office next month, with more acts of clemency expected to come.

Collins was 100% political . Not surprising considering Cuomo and AG Letitia James

"Hunter. Media response?"

Russian propaganda all over his personal laptop, including the many photos of his junk, and the many emails about his crime boss grifter Dad.

DoJ/Barr: Nothing to see here.

I’d love to see a full...and unconditional...pardon of Plugs announced on 1/19. But no pardon for his brother or drug addled son.

She would be forever tainted as having committed those crimes for which she was pardoned.

.........................................................

She doesn’t have to accept a pardon and she wouldn’t. She’s untouchable and she knows it.
