Why pardon tax evaders?

They learned their lesson, and their treatment in prison was deplorable.

Never heard of them. If it helps us win more seats, fine by me.

Let's hope President Trump offers a preemptive pardon to Honey Boo Boo for good measure.

Have they made complete restitution yet?

No one should ever get out of jail until they’ve paid back anything they have stolen.

Let’s hope so. She would make a great secretary of the treasury.

Good question, and how does this help Trump, or America?
Letting off tax criminals is a bad image for MAGA, in my opinion.

It also centers around how they valued real estate used as loan collateral. I'm OK with President Trump's decision.

When people like Karmelo the Dark walk the streets, I'm OK with a couple of affable lint heads getting to go home early. They came up working in the textile mills. They earned their way up.
