45. Trump pardoned Blackwater guards

Wed Jul 24, 2024, 12:09 PM

Jul 2024

Trump pardoned Blackwater guards who had been found guilty at a jury trial of murdering Iraqi civilians - including a 9 year old boy. They were serving long sentences for war crimes, but waltzed out of prison in a "high-five" state of mind in 2020.

Trump pardoned lots of other shit-stains during his tenure. Pardoning Hunter after being found guilty of a paper-work crime that is almost never prosecuted shouldn't be a bog deal.

What are Republicans going to do about it? Fuck themselves, that's what.

No. That would be a big political mistake! CTyankee Jul 2024 #22

I suspect Biden will pardon Hunter and Trump Arazi Jul 2024 #14
