Dear John,
It’s a wonderful time to be a criminal.
If you cozy up to Donald Trump, that is.
Trump has been using his presidential power to shield his allies and donors from legal trouble, while his Department of Justice goes after his political enemies.
In fact, Trump’s thumb on the scales of justice has erased roughly $1.3 BILLION dollars in fines and restitution that pardon recipients would have paid their victims and the government.
Check out this week’s video to hear about just a few of the many wealthy miscreants who’ve successfully learned how to scratch Trump’s back. Then share the clip on your socials to help spread the word!
And it’s not just individuals either. The Trump administration has paused or dropped investigations into at least seventeen corporations that donated to his inauguration fund. But his worst pardon of all? Letting violent rioters off the hook after they attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
He’s doing all of this while spreading lies about crime waves and sending the National Guard into American cities.
Trump is sending a message that you can commit violence as long as it’s done in service of him. Do something for Trump, and maybe Trump does something for you.
Trump is blatantly weaponizing the justice system to attack his political enemies while rewarding his crooked allies and those who will commit violence on his behalf.
So much for “law and order.”
Thank you for seeking out what’s really going on here — and helping to get out the truth!
