'Trump’s Pardons cfover every conceivable form of corruption. He is doling them to crooks, cronies, campaign contributors, violent insurrectionists, child sex offenders, convicted drug dealers, and others. …
It is possible there are more ways to abuse the pardon power than Trump has found so far, but we would be hard pressed to think what they would be."

"Trump is not judicious when it comes to whom he will pardon. He has been on a clemency tear, handing them out like candy, bestowing more pardons in 10 months than most presidents do during an entire term. Beneficiaries include violent criminals, sex offenders, drug traffickers, bribe takers, Ponzi schemers, and money launderers."
~ Dan Rather

"Trump has issued pardons and clemency to January 6 rioters, to disgraced ex-congressman, and to anyone who seems willing to stuff the coffers of one of his political committees or family crypto businesses."

"Trump’s pardon habit has gone from an occasional indulgence to a full-blown lifestyle. Even as he fantasizes in public about police roughing up 'criminals' and looks for pretexts to throw his political enemies in prison, the president’s blanket sympathy for anybody else accused of white collar criminality is reaching astonishing heights."

South Korea’s major pension funds face criticism for weak internal controls, as most lack or fail to enforce rules restricting employees’ stock trading, enabling multi-million-won corruption schemes—including high-profile kickbacks at the Construction Workers’ Mutual Aid Association.

#USA’s incoming #Kleptocracy will be interesting to watch from the outside but I pity the poor bastards who’ll have to live with it.
In a kleptocracy, #corrupt #politicians enrich themselves secretly outside the rule of law, through #kickbacks, #bribes, and special favours from lobbyists and corporations, or they simply direct state funds to themselves and their associates.
-
Congress could fix this law and make it clear that #kickbacks are as illegal as upfront #bribery. But will they have the ethical principles to do this?
-
The amount of public #corruption is already at unbelievable levels. We must figure out better ways to root it out and hold public officials accountable.
#Bribes, #kickbacks, #grifts, #emoluments, or #gratuities — whatever you call them — will eventually destroy us.

Maybe the House #Republicans should investigate #Trump and #Kushner after they get done with #HunterBiden?
“House #Democrats released evidence that the former president took in at least $7.8 million from foreign entities while in office, engaging in the kind of conduct the G.O.P. is grasping to pin on President #Biden.”

How to write off your Super Yacht and buy off a #SupremeCourt #Justice.
“The rich, as we’ve reported, often deduct millions of dollars from their taxes related to buying and operating their jets and yachts.
@ProPublica interviewed around a dozen former crew members of the Michaela Rose, some of whom spent years aboard the ship, and none said they were aware of the boat ever being chartered.”

I don't understand this. I thought ad agencies paid RTÉ rather than the other way round. Why would RTÉ give "kickbacks" to ad agencies, what's in it for the station? https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/rte-scandal-whistleblower-claims-broadcaster-gave-kickbacks-of-50m-to-ad-agencies/a848924733.html #RTE #AdAgencies #Kickbacks
