Gaps in Trump’s Pardons: How the Biden Administration Can Still Pursue Justice

[DrLove]

Donald and his few remaining attorneys willing to advise him manage to screw everything up, including their pardons of US war criminals, corrupt cronies and traitors.

Former President Donald Trump issued numerous pardons and commutations to friends, family and associates, as well as felons who engaged in heinous crimes involving war crimes, murder, political corruption, and civil rights violations. He seemed to revel in absolving corrupt politicians, corrupt law enforcement officers, and of course, anyone prosecuted by Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel Office. The latter served not just to reward those who refused to cooperate with this Special Counsel, but also undermined future Special Counsel investigations by setting a dangerous precedent for future efforts to conduct such independent investigations, and to hold a corrupt president to the rule of law.​

​

In issuing his pardons, Trump, true to form, followed no process. He did not seek to identify those most worthy of the use of the clemency process. Instead, his abuse of this constitutional power has led many to deplore the expansive executive authority, although it can be a means of meting out justice when wielded impartially and even-handedly to the most deserving after due consideration of the interests of numerous parties.​

​

But there is good news. If the Biden administration’s Department of Justice wants to rectify some of Trump’s abuse of the pardon power, there are now options at its disposal.​

Doesn't a law need to be broken before you convict someone?...you can't convict a man and send him to prison without a crime...or can you now?...maybe we are more like China than ever before....

 

[JustAGuy1]

Poor Dr Love has no idea that Weissman's signature achievement, ENRON was vacated.

 

[Rambunctious]

What makes you so certain that Garland will be confirmed? Don't you think there is a good chance that sleazy allegations might come out about him?

WoW - This one I was not familiar with. Judith may have Rick Scott beat for Medicare fraud!

Gov. Rick Scott took responsibility? No, he took $300 million | Randy Schultz

When the federal investigation of Rick Scott’s former hospital company became public in 1997, the board of Columbia/HCA forced him out. Scott left with $300 million in stock, a $5.1 million s…

In Hialeah, Florida, Judith Negron, 49, who had been convicted in a separate scheme to siphon off hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent Medicare payments, was also at home for the holidays instead of in federal prison. Thanks to a commutation by Trump, she had been released after serving eight years of a 35-year sentence and was relieved of any remaining obligation to pay her share of $87 million in court-ordered restitution.

What money "that was lost"? The persecutors are on the payroll regardless of the disposition of any case.

BTW, Trump was totally exonerated by Mueller- as well as in the Fake Impeachment trial where he was found as innocent as a newborn babe.
