No Tiger King? No Assange? No Snowden? No Trump kids? No Ted Cruz's Dad? No insurrectionist army?
Trump basically pardoned Bannon, an old mayor from Detroit, a guy who stole his own designs for autonomous cars, Lil Wayne, and a bunch of people nobody has ever heard of.
lol, the MAGA guys are mad.

(511 posts)there could be more.
But I really don't see the benefit of waiting to announce any of them.
That group is leaky, we'd learn about it pretty quickly if there were a big name floating out there. We'd probably already know.

but I still don't think that group would be able to keep their mouths shut all night about it. We'd find out.
Somebody would run straight to the press to try to use the info to get a commentator gig.

(7,294 posts)like the ones convicted of crimes Trump relates to: bank loan application fraud, mortgage application fraud, hell there's even one convicted of a Russian hoax!
The sad ones are the pot convictions, where they've already served for many years or decades. Like no prior President found them worthy of pardons, wtf??
