Trump Issues Sweeping Pardons for A MURDERER and other criminals
Trump pardons 15, including 4 Blackwater defendants who killed 14 innocent, unarmed Iraqis.
Donald Trump grants 15 pardons: he pardoned Republican Congressman Chris Collins who committed financial crimes/insider trading, Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter who stole campaign money from his supporters, he pardoned George Papadopoulos who lied to the FBI about contacts with Russians.
But worst of all, he pardoned the four Blackwater contractors who slaughtered 14 innocent, unarmed Iraqi men and women and injured 17 others. My former office, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, prosecuted those four defendant three times, trying to bring justice to the dozens of Iraqi citizens and their surviving family members. Trump’s pardons of these murderers is a horrific affront to victims rights the world over.

Trump Corruptly Pardons Mike Flynn
Just as Donald Trump corruptly commuted Roger Stone’s sentence, keeping Stone out of prison, Trump has now corruptly pardoned Mike Flynn after Flynn pleaded guilty – twice – to lying to the FBI about contacts with the Russians. What options does Judge Emmet Sullivan, the judge presiding over Flynn’s criminal case, have at this point? Recall, Judge Sullivan REFUSED to grant Bill Barr’s corrupt motion to dismiss Flynn’s case.
Federal Judge Walton Discusses in Open Court How Judge Emmet Sullivan Might Challenge Flynn Pardon
DC Federal District Court Judge Reggie Walton is presiding over Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation regarding the Mueller Report. In that capacity, Judge Walton discussed in open court on Friday how his colleague on the DC Federal Court, Judge Emmet Sullivan, might challenge Donald Trump’s pardon of Mike Flynn.
Having appeared as a federal prosecutor before both Judge Walton and Judge Sullivan, I can attest to how these two jurists are entirely dedicated to the rule of law and the integrity of the criminal justice system and the federal judiciary. Moreover, it looks like they will have the courage to challenge potentially corruptly issued presidential pardons, whether or not there is precedent for such a challenge.
Trump granted clemency to former White House aide Steve Bannon, a key adviser in Trump’s 2016 presidential run, and issued a wave of pardons and commutations in his final hours in office

Rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were among the beneficiaries of Trump’s pardons, befitting a president who made his name in New York’s tabloids and on reality TV
Lil Wayne was charged in Florida on Nov. 17 with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, a federal offense that carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
In 2019, Kodak Black was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to weapons charges stemming from his arrest just before a scheduled concert performance.
Trump said he gave a full pardon to a former Google engineer sentenced for stealing a trade secret on self-driving cars months before the engineer briefly headed Uber’s rival unit
Anthony Levandowski left Google in early 2016 where he worked in the autonomous vehicle division to start his own company called Otto. That company was acquired by Uber for $680 million as the ride-hailing venture pursued its own autonomous vehicle division.
Before leaving, Levandowski downloaded a trove of Google’s self-driving car technology, leading eventually to 33 counts of intellectual property theft against him. He pled guilty to one count and was sentenced to 18 months in prison last summer.

Trump Crime Family
IMO, the REAL crime family is not Joe & Hunter Biden… it’s the Trump Family as shown in this video.
Description from YouTube for the above video: “Joe Biden in his infinite dignified personality that he displayed his entire career has not gone after Trump’s family — this despite the fact that Trump and his entourage of compromised grifters have made patently false allegations about Biden’s son. MeidasTouch is not as nice. We have previously made dozens of videos focused on the rampant and unprecedented corruption of the Trump family while Trump was in office. Our newest video, ‘Trump Crime Family’ ties it all together, and makes the strongest case that the Trumps are no different than the mafia families of the past. The ‘Trump Crime Family has violated thousands of laws (Federal and State), engaged in documented domestic and international corruption, and utterly destroyed every ethical principle turning the White House which was once the people’s house into the money laundering Trump trap house”.
The Trump “crime family…belong in prison,” says “The Art of the Deal” ghostwriter
The Art of the Deal ghostwriter said President Donald Trump and two of his adult children and a son-in-law all belong in prison. Tony Schwartz co-authored Trump’s notorious book, which was first published in 1987, and is now a vocal critic of the president. “Crime family: Donald, Ivanka, Jared, Donald Jr.
Per the above article; ” The Art of the Deal ghostwriter said President Donald Trump and two of his adult children and a son-in-law all belong in prison. Tony Schwartz co-authored Trump’s notorious book, which was first published in 1987, and is now a vocal critic of the president. “Crime family: Donald, Ivanka, Jared, Donald Jr. They all belong in prison,” Schwartz tweeted on Monday evening.
“If I had to rename The Art of the Deal, I would call it The Sociopath,” Schwartz said on CNN. “Because he has no conscience, he has no guilt. All he wants to do is make the case that he would like to be true. “And while I do think he is probably aware that more walls are closing around him than ever before, he does not experience the world in the way an ordinary human being would.”
Then in June, when the journalist E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of sexual assault in the mid-1990s, adding to a list of women who have made such allegations against the president, Schwartz called him a “serial felon.”
“A 16th woman yesterday accused Donald Trump of sexual assault—in this case rape, with very specific details,” tweeted Schwartz.
“In what sane & decent world can this man continue as president of the United States?” continued Schwartz’s tweet, adding that he believed Trump should be put on trial for repeated “violent criminal behavior.”
Eight women came forward and accused Donald Trump of sexual assault and harassment. Trump has denied all of the allegations, calling himself a victim.

Donald Trump Could Be on Trial Sooner Than You Think
The People v. Donald J. Trump could go to trial sooner than you think. Here, according to the legal experts, is how Trump could become the first former president in American history to find himself on trial – and perhaps even behind bars.
Per the above article; “If Donald Trump loses the election in November, he will forfeit not only a sitting president’s presumptive immunity from prosecution but also the levers of power he has aggressively co-opted for his own protection. Considering the number of crimes he has committed, the time span over which he has committed them, and the range of jurisdictions in which his crimes have taken place, his potential legal exposure is breathtaking. More than a dozen investigations are already under way against him and his associates. Even if only one or two of them result in criminal charges, the proceedings that follow will make the O. J. Simpson trial look like an afternoon in traffic court”.
“According to legal experts, the man most likely to drag Trump into court is the district attorney for Manhattan, Cyrus Vance Jr. It’s a surprising scenario, given Vance’s well-deserved reputation as someone who has gone easy on the rich and famous. After taking office in 2010, he sought to reduce Jeffrey Epstein’s status as a sex offender, dropped an investigation into whether Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. had committed fraud in the marketing of the Trump Soho, and initially decided not to prosecute Harvey Weinstein despite solid evidence of his sex crimes. “He has a reputation for being particularly cautious when it comes to going after rich people, because he knows that those are the ones who can afford the really formidable law firms,” says Victoria Bassetti, a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice who served on the team of lawyers that oversaw the Senate impeachment trial of Bill Clinton. “And like most prosecutors, Vance is exceptionally protective of his win-loss rate.”
