Trump Pardons Fraudsters

The Washington Post

Liz Oyer, the Justice Department’s recently fired pardon attorney, made a staggering claim on social media this week: President Donald Trump’s pardons of people convicted of white-collar crimes have cost Americans $1 billion.

Let that sink in. A president, convicted of business fraud, is now championing fraudsters all over the country by pardoning them.

This is not okay. This is not normal.

The pardon system is broken, and was never designed to be wielded by an immoral actor.
