The Felon-in-Chief has already pardoned violent insurrectionists, drug traffickers and white-collar criminals who have been convicted of stealing millions from unsuspecting Americans. Now we have learned that the Felon has told his staff that he will issue them blanket pardons at the end of his term, which raises the question: Why? After all, if they’re doing such a good job as he claims, why would they face any criminal charges?
The answer is that, since the Felon regained the Oval Office, he and many of his cabinet and staff have engaged in unprecedented illegal and corrupt activity. The Felon himself has violated the Constitution’s emoluments clause to enrich his family by more than $4 billion. In addition, he illegally blocked funds appropriated by Congress. He started an unnecessary and ill-advised war in Iran that will cost taxpayers as much as $1 trillion. He intends to waste billions of taxpayer funds on a ballroom and other vanity projects. And, with the help of his personal lawyer now acting (emphasis on ACTING) as Attorney General, he has engineered a $1.776 billion slush fund to pay off his seditionist thugs and create permanent immunity from any IRS investigations for himself, his companies and his fraudster sons.
His Vice President has proven that his loyalty is to the Felon and his multibillionaire owner rather than the American people. His first Attorney General clearly violated the law by delaying and mishandling the Epstein files. His FBI Director has executed the Felon’s retribution campaign by firing anyone who investigated the Felon’s crimes. He is also accused of being drunk on the job and handing out bottles of his own private label bourbon to supporters. His Christian Nationalist Secretary of “War” has decapitated military leadership by firing most female and black leaders. He has also executed numerous war crimes at the Felon’s behest.
The Felon’s first Secretary of Homeland Security oversaw the murder of U.S. citizens and the lawless detention of thousands of citizens and legal immigrants as she wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on her own vanity projects. His multimillionaire Secretary of Transportation has spent most of his time in office on an all-expenses-paid seven-month vacation with his family while filming a reality TV show. His multi-billionaire Secretary of Commerce is known to have lied about visiting Epstein’s island.
His multibillionaire Secretary of Education’s sole duty is to implode the Department she was appointed to lead. His antivax, roadkill gourmet who occupies the Secretary of Health and Human Services office is making the world more vulnerable to the next pandemic. His ethically challenged multibillionaire Secretary of Treasury has multiple conflicts of interest that have generated accusations of corruption. His Director of the Office of Management and Budget has overseen tax cuts that some experts expect to add $50 trillion to the national debt over the next 30 years.
And this list of ne’er-do-wells doesn’t even include the real criminal on his staff, Stephen Miller who should rightly be given the title Minister of Cruelty for his extreme racist, anti-immigrant, and anti-worker agenda.
Not satisfied with using their positions of power to enact policies that benefit themselves and their wealthy friends, the Felon and members of his staff are also accused of widespread insider trading. Given all of this, is it any wonder the Felon has added the prospect of blanket pardons to his staff’s employment benefits?
These people aren’t trying to make America great. They’re trying to make themselves rich off the backs of ordinary Americans.
