Former lawmakers, a sheriff, executive of a nursing facility, reality TV celebrities, and a drug owner – what is shared in these individuals, can be surprised
In fact, he is few of the American citizens who have been apologized for the crime since US President Donald Trump took office in January this year.
And when the US presidents have eliminated objectionable pride in the past, Trump said “University of Pennsylvania law professor Kermut Roosevelt.
Roosevelt told AFP, “The power of amnesty has always been a bit of anxiety because the president has a completely unorganized power.”
“Most presidents have at least issued some apology where people look at them and they say: ‘It seems that it is self -service’ it seems that it is somehow corrupt.”
Roosevelt said, but Trump is eliminating the tafs “It seems that he is close to almost for financial donations.”
Among those apologizing was Paul Walzak, an executive of the Nursing Home, who was convicted of tax crimes, and whose mother attended the Million of 1 million per plate funding at Trump’s Mar-A-Lago house in April.
Other beneficiaries from Trump Prades include Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Cherry, who were sentenced to a long prison sentence for bank fraud and tax evasion.
His daughter, Swana, is a prominent supporter of Trump and spoke at last year’s Republican National Convention.
More than half a dozen former Republican lawmakers found guilty of various crimes have also received an apology with a Virginia sheriff, who has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for taking a $ 105,000 bribe.
On the first day of his post, Trump pardoned more than 1,500 supporters who attacked the US capital on January 6, 2021, as he tried to stop the Democrat that Biden’s 2020 election victory.
The next day, Trump pardoned Ras Alburt, who was sentenced to life imprisonment to run the “Silk Road” online market, which helped millions of dollars in drug sales.
‘Pardons as kind’
Former prosecutor Barbara McCwood, who now teaches law at Michigan University, said that Trump is not the first president who has been accused of “allowing him to allow his pardon decisions”.
Apologies to Richard Nixon of Gerald Ford, an apology from a commodity trader in Bill Clinton, whose wife was a major Democratic Donor and apologized to Biden’s son, Hunter and other family members.
“[But] Trump himself is in a class of both scope and shamelessness, “McCwood said in a column in Bloomberg Roy.
“To that, apology is just another contract. As long as the defendant can provide some price in return, no crime looks too serious.”
In a letter to Trump’s pardon lawyer in the Justice Department, Ed Martin, Democratic lawmaker Jamie Raskin asked what standards were being used to recommend Pradan.
“At least it appears that you are using the office of the pardon’s lawyer in favor of the president’s loyal political followers and the most generous.”
Martin has made no secret of the prejudice of the apology proposed by his office for his part.
“No Maga left behind,” Martin said on X after the bribe -taking Virginia Sheriff’s pardon, referring to Trump’s “Mac America’s Great” slogan.
University of Texas law professor Lee Koroski said Trump’s “apologizing” has opened the “new frontier of presidential power” which he calls “pardoning”.
“Trump is making a public commitment to the protection and reward of loyalty, by reducing the fines of mismanagement, by reducing the fines of mismanagement,” said Corseki in a theory of the New York Times opinion.
