Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 88409, member: 27"] Trump's so-called war on fraud looks wildly selective when you realize he's pardoned over 70 allies and donors convicted of the exact same kinds of crimes he's supposedly cracking down on. Pardons for the biggest fraudsters imaginable [LIST] [*]Philip Esformes ran a $1.3 billion Medicare fraud scheme. [*]Trump commuted his 20-year sentence back in 2020. [*]Salomon Melgen ripped off taxpayers for $42 million via Medicare. [*]Both got clemency despite massive government program theft. [/LIST] Clemency conveniently follows donations and loyalty [LIST] [*]Trevor Milton donated over $1.8 million before getting pardoned. [*]Julio Herrera Velutini's daughter gave $3.5 million to MAGA Inc. [*]Devon Archer's pardon came after fueling the Biden family probe. [*]George Santos got pardoned despite wire-fraud and identity-theft convictions. [/LIST] Meanwhile, Minnesota fraud gets the full crackdown [LIST] [*]Nearly 100 people face charges for defrauding government programs there. [*]Prosecutors estimate that over $9 billion in taxpayer funds were stolen. [*]Trump inflated that figure to $19 billion in public remarks. [*]Most defendants are of Somali descent, fueling his immigration rhetoric. [/LIST] The contradiction is basically out in the open [LIST] [*]Trump pardoned Eliyahu Weinstein, who then re-offended spectacularly. [*]Adriana Camberos got clemency twice for separate fraud convictions. [*]Over $700 million in restitution is tied to Trump's pardoned cases. [*]JD Vance was named fraud czar despite this glaring track record. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
