Sorry i can't link stories. So last week Trump pardons Philip Esformes. Esformes was doing twenty years for bilking medicare out of hundreds of millions. He was the guy that bribed Penn basketball coach Jerome Allen in 2015 to ensure his son would gain admission to Penn. Bribed Allen with 300K. The son never appeared on the basketball roster. Allen pled guilty to money laundering and is now a coach for the Celtics.

So, my question to you all is if your willing to give a coach 300k to get your kid into a college how much you willing to give not to do another 14 years in federal prison? Somebody just scored big time cash!!!

Philip Esformes – Today, President Trump commuted the term of imprisonment of Philip Esformes, while leaving the remaining aspects of his sentence, including supervised release and restitution, intact. This commutation is supported by former Attorneys General Edwin Meese and Michael Mukasey, as well as former Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson. In addition, former Attorneys General Edwin Meese, John Ashcroft, and Alberto Gonzalez, as well as other notable legal figures such as Ken Starr, have filed in support of his appeal challenging his conviction on the basis of prosecutorial misconduct related to violating attorney-client privilege.

While in prison, Mr. Esformes, who is 52, has been devoted to prayer and repentance and is in declining health.

Sounds like he served some of his time and is deserving of a break, good for him.

Can Trump pardon himself?

The general consensus is: NO!

But rest assured he might try. This is also why I think he steps aside a few days before Jan 20, has Pence take over so Pence can pardon him. Pence is just a big stooge so he might not realizing once he does his political career is OVER! Not that he has one, anyway but if Pence has any designs on running for POTUS in 2024 pardoning Der Fuhrer will end it.

Just wait! Jackass has not even come close to scraping the bottom of the barrel. Before he leaves (and he IS leaving no later than Jan 20) don't be shocked if any/all of these bums get a pardon: Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli and maybe even Silk Road asshole Ross Ulbricht.

He will not be content until he NAPALMS the USA - as payback for him losing. Just see what he has done the last 24-48 hours! He has 21 days left. Since #MoscowMitchMcTreason and GAT Lindsey Graham won't stop him - he will not stop until he screws over everyone for his loss. MAGAts will wildly cheer on all he does not even realizing what he is doing is hurting them - big time.

The NY Attorney General is preparing a battery of charges that he can’t dodge by pardon. The State just hired International forensic accountants who are looking at his family for tax fraud. NY, being a separate sovereignty, does not recognize a federal pardon. Additionally anyone who accepts a federal pardon can’t turn around and plead the Fifth in, let’s say, a conspiracy case, because he can’t incriminate himself.

THAT is what will end up hurting him. A LOT!

This is one of the biggest reasons he will not be running in 2024. By the time NY gets done with him there will be nothing left on the "carcass"

The fact he stated high values on his properties to get loans then put low values on those same properties when it came tax time - is gonna nail him!

He is up to his eyeballs in debt. His properties will see al but MAGAts ignoring them

By the time 2023 rolls around he will be in no shape to run for POTUS. The fact his brain is jelly NOW - in 2-3 years he might be a vegetable. Although the same people going after Biden's mental capacity will never listen to people saying Der Fuhrer's brain is even worse

No. I don't believe that's correct. Cohen was released and then broke the terms of the release by performing an interview or being spotted in public and they turned him in for that violation and he went right back in for a short stay. If he was released solely based on the Covid situation, then broke the terms of his original release, and they returned him and he caught the bug on the return trip to prison, you can bet Cohen and his attorneys would have a substantial lawsuit against the state filed on day one.

Trump and Barr had him put back in as a payback for what he said or did while out and the next weekend or so he was back out cause he was put back in without merit.
