  1. How the fuck anyone has the power to just take all the work and proof the prosecutors, the judges and juries did and just say “no” and sweep it all away is beyond me.

  2. America is a subscription service. You get what you pay for

  4. At this point it feels like “draining the swamp” and more like writing personal coupons for anyone in his circle who gets caught. The bar just keeps getting lower.

  5. No justice for victims, if the perp has enough cash to buy a pardon or commutation.

    Fascism 101.

  7. The pardon has got to be eliminated when the power shifts in Washington. This has gotten completely ridiculous with outright dirtbags getting full pardons for no reason. Imagine how those directly affected by these crimes must feel. This kind of thing is going to sow mass distrust in the legal system and possibly even encourage vigilante behavior.

  8. Bernie Madoff lived little longer! Could got pardon!

  10. And the innocent live in fear and the guilty walk free.

    He’s the biblical definition of the Anti-Christ.

  12. Morale within the DOJ is at its lowest point since its inception. Do you blame them?

    Start cheating on your taxes everyone. All you have to do is say you’re MAGA and you’ll get pardoned.

  13. Causing as much suffering and discord as possible before anything possibly happens to him to ensure it will be a large mess to clean up after and to ensure that supporters of the right will not comprehend that if democrats do get power, it would take a long time to actually get things fixed (Probably multiple elections in a row) and they’ll blame the democrats for not going fast enough and then they’ll vote for more chuds.

  14. That guy sure got Trump his bribe quick. Must had money stashed off shore and sent it over to TRUP inc.

  15. He basically promised Trump money from some external source once released and Trump signed off on it.

    If no one has caught on yet, Trump is selling the commuting of sentences, and pardons. He’s not even providing explanations any more. In fact, he doesn’t even know who he’s releasing (as long as he gets paid, he doesn’t care who it is).

  16. The fucking party of law and order better get their shit together because they no longer stand for law and order.

  17. Pay for pardons is gonna get Trump impeached after midterms when Dems own the house huh…

    He literally cannot help himself. Hilarious.

  18. Turns out crime is fine in the US of A as long as you can bribe Mr. Trump.

  19. I’d love someone to introduce a Constitutional amendment to give Congress the power to veto pardons. I’m sure Johnson and Thune would bury it, which is bizarre in the grand scheme of checks and balances, but if it got to a vote to send it to the states, I’d love to see who is okay with this blatant corruption.

  20. Two guys convicted. One gets pardoned, but the other doesn’t. I wonder why……….

    It must not have been about justice then, right? Cuz then they’d both get a pardon.

    But only one guy got pardoned.

    Again, I wonder why……

    (Note: I don’t really wonder why……)

  22. Party of law and order. What a joke of a president and a joke of a party leader.

  23. Blatant corruption and contempt for the American people and the country he lives in. An embarrassment of the highest order and a disgrace to the Supreme Court for allowing this. I hope when they look in the mirror they realize that future generations will see them also as corrupt turncoats.

  24. Yeah this whole presidential pardon thing needs to seriously be revisited once fucking clown shoes amd the whole administration is out of office

  25. Christ. Not even trying to hide that pardons are for sale.

  26. I am convinced Trump is now selling pardons to anyone who asks, for a price.

  27. It’s like in Batman when the villains escape from Arkham

  29. Freedom sold to the highest bidder no matter the crime.

  30. One nation, under fraud, clearly visible, with bribery and corruption for all.

  32. Disgusting. And here we are with J6ers terrorizing our streets as ICE.

  33. This mofo is going to have this power taken away from future presidents. Corrupt piece of shit. Whoever continues to support him needs to dig in dumpster for any ounce of dignity they can find.

  34. Put the victims who lost everything on tv (you too Fox News) so they can describe why the pardon by our corrupted president has denied them at least a small amount of justice.

    Just remember, none of this would be happening if the president’s party that controls all branches of government would do something to hold the president accountable. And until they do, his behavior is just going to get worse because this criminal president and the people using him and paying him off feel they are above the law and won’t be held accountable. Insane!

  36. It’s like he’s building a team of super villains

  37. Does he charge a flat rate for pardons or is it “X” amount of dollars per year of sentence? Just curious.

  38. For my friends, everything.

    For my enemies, the law.
