  1. They protect #terrorists for their side:
    >#Pardon the radicalized #WhiteSupremacist terrorists from #Jan6.
    >#Commute sentences for #ProudBoys.
    Now they label the other side terrorists without cause. Attacking the progressive #SPLC, they shut down any organization that tracks domestic white supremacist terrorist activity.
    This will only get worse, we need to keep fighting - -

  2. For fraudsters and tax evaders,
    the past year has been a cresting wave of successes:

    💥the abandonment of seeming slam-dunk prosecutions,

    💥presidential pardons for even the most egregious crimes,

    💥and a steady hollowing out of the agencies tasked with holding them to account.

    Trump’s not wrong when he rails about a surge in crime -- But “the crime wave, is white collar”.

    Trump’s preferred tool for aiding white-collar criminals is simple:
    👉 the #pardon.

    Where previous presidents deployed that power sparingly,
    often at the end of their terms,
    Trump has wielded it promiscuously
    – issuing clemency even when it results in something completely anathema to his administration’s stated goals.

    Take Trump’s supposed focus on combating narco-traffickers.

    Trump has been explicit about wanting to control the influx of narcotics and fentanyl into the US from South America
    – and is close to waging war on Venezuela despite the fact that it is not among the primary direct traffickers of cocaine to the US.

    At the same time, Trump has pardoned #Juan #Orlando #Hernandez, the former Honduran president who was convicted by a US jury of an extraordinary catalogue of crimes, including conspiring to import roughly
    400 tons of #cocaine into the United States

  3. #Trump’s pledge to #pardon #TinaPeters, a former #Colorado county clerk convicted of tampering with voting machines, touched off a furious new battle Friday over the fate of perhaps the last high-profile 2020 #ElectionDenier still behind bars.

    Democratic leaders in CO dismissed the pardon as an empty attempt to bully a #BlueState into freeing one of the president’s political allies. They argued that #Trump had no legal power to overturn Peters’ conviction in state court [true].

  4. “We have been wounded by the tentacles of #corruption & by the #criminal networks that have deeply scarred the life of our country,” AG Zelaya said in announcing the #ArrestWarrant on X.

  5. The Honduran AG announced Monday night that he had issued an international #ArrestWarrant for the country’s former president, #JuanOrlandoHernández, who was recently pardoned by #Trump & released from a federal #prison in the #US.

    In a social media post, AG Johel Antonio Zelaya Alvarez said that he had instructed government agencies & #Interpol to execute the warrant against Hernández on charges of #MoneyLaundering & #fraud….

  6. “The #pardon of #JuanOrlandoHernández, a convicted massive drug trafficker, sends reverberations to all of the countries that have fought #DrugTrafficking & lost hundreds of lives,” said Mike Vigil, fmr head of international ops for the #DEA.

    It was not immediately clear where #Hernández will go upon his release[Mar-a-Lago?]. His lawyer said Hernández did not have a passport & his family has been receiving threats since #Trump announced his intention to pardon him.

  7. #JuanOrlandoHernández was at the center of what the authorities had characterized as “one of the largest & most #violent #DrugTrafficking conspiracies in the world.”

    #Trump’s pledge to #pardon #Hernández last week came just hours after he had received a fawning letter in which Hernández cast himself as the victim of “political persecution” by the #Biden-Harris admin, comparing his fate to that of Trump’s.

  8. #Trump couldn’t care less about #illegal drugs in the #US

    #JuanOrlandoHernández, former president of #Honduras who was convicted in the US of #DrugTrafficking, was released from a federal prison in West Virginia Tuesday after receiving a full #pardon from Trump. Trump granted the pardon on Monday evening, fulfilling a pledge he had made days earlier that shocked US ofcls who had built a major case against #Hernández for flooding the US with #cocaine

  9. Will #Trump #pardon him too?

    Son of notorious Mexican drug kingpin “#ElChapo” pleaded guilty to US #DrugTrafficking charges, months after his brother entered a plea deal.

    Known in #Mexico as the “Chapitos,” or “little Chapos,” Joaquin Guzman Lopez & his brother, Ovidio Guzman Lopez, are accused of running a faction of the Sinaloa cartel. Federal authorities in 2023 described the operation as a massive effort to send “staggering” quantities of #fentanyl to the US.

  10. 2/ #RogerStone has been working as a lobbyist for #JuanOrlandoHernandez and did not hesitate to say in the wake of the Trump #pardon announcement that the former president of #Honduras who set up Peter Thiel's fake country was "framed" for #cocaine trafficking.

    Roger Stone also happens to be doing a lot of crypto lobbying these days, including for OG #crypto bros close to the #Prospera / #NetworkState set like #RogerVer AKA "Bitcoin Jesus".

  11. Testifying at the trial of trial of former #Honduran president #JuanOrlandoHernandez (the cocaine kingpin trump announced he is pardoning), a witness revealed:

  12. after murdering a bunch of couriers on some (alleged) drug boats trump now intends to pardon former president of #Honduras Juan Orlando #Hernandez who, in between trafficking at least 400 tonnes of cocaine into the US because he wanted to “shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos”, was the guy who set up the network state city of #Prospera with Peter #Thiel etc. as a “special economic zone”.

    > "The zone recently made #Bitcoin legal tender and passed legislation facilitating the issuance of Bitcoin bonds. Próspera’s investors include Silicon Valley heavyweights such as Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen through #Pronomos Capital."

    99% chance it’s the Network State/Nerd Reich guys (thiel, andreessen, etc.) up in trump’s ear telling him a cocaine kingpin with whom they founded a fake country deserves a pardon at the same time as they encourage him to murder the poors who actually do the trafficking with the new weapons systems they’re selling him.

  13. Zarkin once pleaded no contest to a #felony #SexCrime involving a sexual encounter with a “mentally incapacitated” woman, acc/to MI court records reviewed by Reuters, & has no significant experience in the housing sector. His felony conviction was later vacated, for reasons that weren’t explained by the judge. Separately, an ongoing MI lawsuit also accuses Zarkin of involvement in a plan to #bribe #Trump in exchange for the #pardon of an unidentified person in NY.

  24. A quotation from The Bible

       When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
       She said, No man, Lord.
       And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
       
       [ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Γύναι, ποῦ εἰσιν; οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν;
       ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, Οὐδείς, κύριε.
       εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Οὐδὲ ἐγώ σε κατακρίνω· πορεύου, [καὶ] ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε.]

    PROSPERO: As you from crimes would pardoned be,

    Tempest, Epilogue, l. 19ff (1611)

  29. 2) The proffer interview recording of Maxwell by Trump’s former #criminal #defense l#awyer now Dep. #AG #ToddBlanche was released today & (Surprise!) she said #Trump did nothing wrong: “The president was never inappropriate with anybody. And the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.”… And right after this interview, #Ghislaine Maxwell became the only #convicted #sexoffender in #US to be transferred to a #minimum #security #ClubFed and shot to the top of the #pardon list.

  30. #Smartmatic included many of the conversations in 468 pages of filings to bolster its contention that #JeaninePirro & other #Fox hosts were determined to stay on Trump’s good side for a variety of motives. It said Pirro, a longtime friend of #Trump, sought to secure a #pardon for her ex-husband, Albert Pirro. Convicted earlier of #TaxEvasion & #conspiracy, Albert Pirro was the last person Trump pardoned during his first term.

  31. NYT article about Changpeng Zhao’s quest for a presidential pardon. Worth remembering that Trump’s World Liberty Financial has already launched its #stablecoin #USD1 mostly on the Binance blockchain (BNB) and USD1’s usage in decentralized finance is 99% happening on Binance fake decentralized exchanges (PancakeSwap).

    Zhao pleaded guilty to laundering money for upstanding groups like terrorists and sellers of child pornography just a few years ago.

  32. trump's DOJ just dropped all charges against a #florida GOP state rep who had been accused of covid relief fraud, Carolina Amesty.

    totally coincidentally she just so happened to hire Pam Bondi's brother as her attorney. either that, or maybe americans now live in a country where being friends with the king means you have free reign to commit crimes.

    from the orlando sentinel:

    > "The #FBI and other investigators concluded the federal money provided to the foundation and the business was used for Amesty’s personal expenses, including furniture and credit card bills"

    (and of course she’s included a bible verse in her announcement)
