🤥💵 Trump's pardon‑for‑sale network – how to buy forgiveness Clemency under President Trump is no longer about justice – it's about access, narrative, and cash, a Reuters investigation reveals. 96% of Trump's second‑term clemency grants went to recipients who didn't meet longstanding DOJ guidelines. Only 1% of Biden's clemency recipients failed those same rules. Reuters identified 290 influencers who helped secure 197 clemency grants. Among them: Roger Stone, Alice Marie Johnson (Trump's "pardon czar"), Steve Bannon, and Angela Stanton King. Some charge up to $2 million for their services. 🗣 "Can you create a story similar to what members of this administration have gone through? Then get it to the White House counsel," says clemency consultant Sam Mangel. The cases: 🔴 Trevor Milton (Nikola founder), convicted of defrauding investors of $660M, was pardoned after donating $1.8M to Trump and Kennedy campaigns. Trump called him personally to say Bobby Kennedy put in a good word. 🔴 Scott Howard Jenkins, a Virginia sheriff convicted of bribery, was pardoned after Roger Stone advocated for him. 🔴 Troy Lake, a truck shop owner convicted of Clean Air Act violations, was freed after Wyoming's senator and the EPA administrator intervened. Ten recipients, influencers, and their companies donated over $10 million to Trump‑related political coffers – before and after clemency. The pardon power is now a marketplace. The price of forgiveness is a good story, a fat check, and the right friends. Justice is for sale – and business is booming. 👍 Boost us | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
