Santos was sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison earlier this year after being convicted of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

    Usa republicans are such a weird alliance of values. It seems that on one side there’s a bunch of xenophobes who don’t care if someone is a lying corrupt grifter, as long as their skin has the right color and they profess the right racist + misogynist values. And on the other side there’s a bunch of lying corrupt grifters, who don’t care what skin color or sexuality someone has, as long as they’re also lying corrupt grifters.

    This is the sort of thing that causes people to lose whatever faith they may have had in the justice system and start taking it into their own hands.

    In a social media post, Trump said Santos, who he called “somewhat of a ‘rogue,’” had the “Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!”

    Which means you’re allowed to commit crimes!

    Damn, the Criminal in Chief convicted of fraud (by a jury of his peers) pardoned another criminal republican convicted of fraud (also by a jury of his peers).

    I’m glad that these guys are the party of law and order.

      Santos pled guilty. One of his co-conspirators gave testimony and reached a plea deal and they had him dead to rights so he pled guilty in his own plea deal. Probably to get less time.

    So at this point what’s stopping people from committing crimes and then just contributing a bit to Trump and telling him he’s the greatest guy for a pardon?

    There is literally no oversight over who the President of the US pardons, it’s insane.

      As someone who isn’t up on all of this, I saw another post that said there are gov sites asking for name, email, etc. This site is asking for this info.

      How do you know if it’s gov vs not?
