    When you see some of the biggest fraudsters pardoned, it often leads right back to Trump.

    Milton was represented by two lawyers with close connections to Donald Trump: Marc Mukasey and Brad Bondi, the brother of Pam Bondi (who became the U.S. Attorney General in the second Trump administration).

    Prior to the pardon, Milton and his wife donated over $3.2 million to Trump's 2024 presidential campaign and allied political groups, which included more than $1.8 million to a fund supporting Donald Trump's reelection.

    The pardon came two weeks after federal prosecutors urged District Court Judge Edgardo Ramos to order Milton to pay restitution of $680 million to Nikola shareholders, and another $15.2 million to Peter Hicks, a victim of his wire fraud.

    Because of the pardon, Ramos now cannot order restitution of any kind.

    It's never about convicting those who commit fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, cyber crimes, Medicare fraud, or anything else with Trump. It's about loyalty, friendship, associates, big donors, and those willing to pay Trump, or do some tit for tat favors for a get out of jail free card. That's what you get with a criminal, grifter, race baiter, and lying con as President.

    At this point all you can do is ride out the next 2 years and hope the MAGA movement dies once he is out of office

    The Trump kids are so spoiled with the grift and power that I could see Don Jr or Ivanka will try to run down the road. They are as shady as dear Daddy.

    They don’t have the brainwashing power like daddy.
    Lebrons kid ain’t Lebron.

    What’s crazy is I wouldn’t give 10 secs in real life to the maga morons on the board. They are akin to the guy in the autozone parking lot rambling about their boosted clapped out civic doing 0-60 in 12 secs..

    but when they get behind a keyboard… everyone feels compelled to read and respond to the nonsense. If you heard what elconqistupid in real life, you would say ok grandma, your nurse will be in to give you a bed bath.

    Do cults normally die out over time? I'm not equating every religion to a cult but even when the leader goes they still keep marching forward.

    Looking at all the pardons . . .. at what point do the people who are being victimized a second time
    decide F the courts and go get their own justice
    because
    that is what this is doing. a complete and total undermining the rule of law
    All faith and confidence in the system
    The guy 652 Million from people
    The Pardon says they won't get any of it back

    Why should they not simply take the law into their own hands
    and reward the man as they see appropriate?
    No one else is going to hold the man that stole my money accountable

    Add him to the list with the lying drunkard platoon leader in charge of Secretary of Defense and the intern kid with grocery store and lawn work experience in charge of terrorism, along with the drunk lying conspiracy theorist peddling Patel in charge of the FBI. :eek:

    Now his ex lawyer in charge of the DOJ has a new assistant brown shirt election denying loyalist in the DOJ to assist him. Kurt Olsen, a White House official who aided President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, has joined the Justice Department as a senior attorney reporting to a prosecutor seeking to build a wide-ranging criminal case against ‌the president’s foes.
