Damn, I just don't get what's in his mind. He keeps pardoning garden-variety criminals--no real sense in it, as far as I can see.
does he admire these people..feels a sense of kinship maybe.
While his followers-who used to say they had the high ground in the law and order field--just keep excusing his actions.
Why? Is it because their daughter is a RW 'influencer'?
The whole 'make the libs heads explode' thing..is wearing a bit thin, IMO.
He's just a grifter pardoning grifters..and maybe it's just as simple as that~

President Donald Trump will pardon reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, according to a video posted by Trump's communications adviser Margo Martin on X. The couple was sentenced to prison for tax evasion and bank fraud.
According to the video, Trump called Savannah Chrisley, the couple's 27-year-old daughter, to share the news that her parents were getting pardoned and would be released from prison soon.
Savannah Chrisley appealed to the Trump administration for pardons for her parents and spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
The couple, who became famous for their show "Chrisley Knows Best," were sentenced in November 2022 to a combined 19 years in prison on charges including fraud and tax evasion. Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 16 months of probation while Julie Chrisley was ordered to serve seven years in prison and 16 months of probation.
The couple was also ordered to pay $17.8 million in restitution.
Asked by ABC News if the White House could provide any background information regarding the pardons, principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields did not provide any details behind the pardons and echoed Trump's comments in the video that the couple were treated unfairly.
“The President is always pleased to give well-deserving Americans a second chance, especially those who have been unfairly targeted and overly prosecuted by an unjust justice system," Fields said in a statement to ABC News. "President Trump called Savannah and her brother from the Oval Office to personally inform them that he would be pardoning their parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, whose sentences were far too harsh."
