Trump's CBS "Confession" Should Be the Biggest Story in America
Without a doubt, the biggest story in the country today should be Donald Trump admitting on CBS last night that he has no idea who hes pardoning. He let a convicted crypto fraudster walk free and then, on national television, straight-up said he only did it because his sons told him to. Let that sink in.
Can you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden said he pardoned someone because Hunter told him to? If Biden blindly freed a scammer based solely on his sons recommendation no due diligence, no second thought conservative media would be frothing at the mouth. Republicans would launch twenty investigations before lunch. But with Trump? Shrugs. Silence from the MAGA influencers.
Lets be clear: this wasnt a Freudian slip. It wasnt a mistake. It was a confession. Trump freed a crypto kingpin who pled guilty to fraud just like he pardoned cop-beaters from January 6th, just like he pardoned drug dealers, sex offenders, and white-collar crooks because hes likely getting paid, one way or another, in this massive corruption scheme.
This crypto guy didnt get pardoned for fun. He got out because Trumps kids are knee-deep in the same crypto scam, raking in billions. To Trump and his inner circle, the presidency isnt a job or a responsibility. Its a money pipeline. And by admitting he doesnt even know who hes pardoning, Trumps telling us exactly who he is: a puppet for profit, a vessel for other peoples corruption.

If Chump truly didn't know about Sam Bankman-Fried or why he was imprisoned, he'd make something up to show the reporters that he knows everything.

Many of the prosecutors- are now gone.
Many new judges lack anything except Trump loyalty.
I think the justice system is badly broken, and cant be fixed any time soon.

Back in my college years, the law schools turned out liberal lawyers who were fired up for truth, justice and the American way. Nowadays all the young lawyers care about is getting hired by the Heritage Society.
