Trump is having problems finding people to work for him.
So he is finding his ilk in prisons and soon will be able to fill many positions that honest people will not take.

Nothing shocks me anymore.

I hope New York State goes after Kerik somehow.

Luckily, Hitler, Stalin, and Franco are dead, or Donnie would be issuing them pardon’s, too…

Reading the list of people lobbying for Milliken’s pardon, I think they probably face indictments of their own. What a rogue’s gallery.

Welcome to Putin’s Amerika.
This should be hung around the neck of every republican up for re-election this fall. They are now complicit in everything trump will do for the rest of his term. Their constituents should be asking why. Why are you covering for trump’s crimes? Why are you repeating Russian-born conspiracies? Why do you hate Amerika? Why did you fail your oath of office? Why did you swear and sign an oath to be an impartial juror in the impeachment trial - when you had NO intention of honoring that oath? Why are you such a liar?

I wrote earlier today that some nimrod on FB on hearing about Blago’s commutation complained that he only tried to sell the seat. That he didn’t succeed should have set him free. After all, the nimrod continued, no one was hurt or killed, right?

So I guess this moron suggests that white collar crime is no longer a thing.

“Or, as the White House put it in a press release Tuesday, “at the height of his finance career, Mr. Milken was charged in an indictment alleging that some of his innovative financing mechanisms were in fact criminal schemes.””

Sooooo, expect some regulation changes to open up more “innovative financing mechanisms” for Trump and his KKKult?

That is troubling.

And you know the MSM will respond with ‘Dems’ hysterical attack on the GOP’, while reporting on these pardons as if it’s just another day at the office.
