    I’m much more upset about this pardon than Hunter’s pardon. This woman stole $53 million dollars over 20 years from tax payers. As far as I know, Hunter never stole anything from taxpayers.

      He doesn’t have to give a shit any more. The fact that he’s one of the better presidents in my lifetime is just horrible.

      He’s a shitbag too that’s what’s up. Just because someone has a D next to their name doesn’t mean they’re a good person or that they actually care about the country.

    She’s still a convicted felon and was serving her time on home confinement. She served several years in actual prison. She has not been forgiven for her crime.

    I really don’t understand Lemmy. People massively confusing pardons and sentence commutations. Further being outraged at the horrors of the American prison system, yet being pissed when people aren’t imprisoned enough.

      One of the people he pardoned was a judge responsible for the cash-for-kids scandal. A judge who took money to send kids to for profit prisons. I just can’t fathom that they’re someone deserving of a pardon.

      It’s disgusting because they should have put her back in prison to finish her sentence. There’s tons of people who don’t deserve to be in prison but still are and then they release shitbags like this. What’s the punishment for bank robbery? You steal $10k and get more time than this.
