Pardons Tracking

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...a&ocid=DELLDHP

"A 71-year-old supporter of President Donald Trump was reportedly shocked when Trump recently commuted the 40-year sentence of a man who stole his life savings in a Ponzi scheme.

Kimball Pugmire, who supported the outgoing president and voted for him in 2016 and 2020, told the Tampa Bay Times that he was forced to question Trump's honesty after learning that the president had granted clemency Wednesday to "lifetime crook" Fred Davis Clark Jr., who was sentenced to decades behind bars in 2016 after defrauding nearly 1,400 investors out of a combined $300 million.

"I had been trying to forget all this, but it makes you wonder, even being a Trump supporter, about his honesty," Pugmire told the paper."

Not surprising. There is a certain loyalty among con-men.

Not at all.. Was appalled by the "Rich" pardon as well. We should ALL be criticizing any pardon that is offensive.

Outside of Bannon who funneled money from the Build the Wall for his personal use or the the pleading guilty Flynn, or the convicted Roger Stone, or the convicted Manafort , or dozens of other poltical loyalist there are always ones like below.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/prosecuto...130540129.html

"After years of painstaking work and millions of dollars spent to investigate and prosecute the cases, the remainders of the sentences being served by the two convicted felons — participants in a type of fraud that costs taxpayers billions of dollars — had been wiped away by the stroke of a presidential pen.

In explaining his decisions, Trump said that Negron was a “wife and mother” and had dedicated her time in prison to “improving her life and the lives of her fellow inmates.Esformes, he said, spent his time in prison “devoted to prayer and repentance and is in declining health,” and that others had raised claims of misconduct by prosecutors in his case."

No wonder Medicare is in trouble. Even when convicted of grand theft of taxpayers, they're pardoned by Trump. So much for the law and order ex-President.
