even if the Supreme Court says we can never touch Trump for any of this shit, the next admin should go after everyone involved in buying and selling pardons and they should do it loudly and aggressively
New reporting says Don Jr. directly facilitated the pardon of a crypto whale who had promoted the Trump's family crypto. Jr. brought the pardon lawyer to the White House, and introduced him directly to his Dad. Pardon occurred right after. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Speaks to something deeply wrong with capitalism that Lampert was allowed to annihilate the value of this company to less than nothing while still walking away with hundreds of millions in profits for himself from the saga.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

Just a few examples of FBI/DOJ documents that haven't been released:

The 2019 prosectors' memos on co-conspirators they considered charging.

The 2007 60-count draft indictment of Epstein.

A raft of victim statements detailing abuse from powerful men.

And much more

None has been released.

Forest and trees re Epstein documents, as of now.

Trees: Controversies about particular documents.

Forest: Virtually none of the key documents, ones that we know exist, the ones the victims and knowledgeable observers have been demanding to see, have been released.

And so the coverup continues.

"The awful nature of Epstein’s crimes, Trump’s proximity to them, the fact that victims haven’t gotten justice and co-conspirators haven’t been held to account, promises to bring the truth to light—all of this may have doomed even a well-executed coverup."

On the disorganized, confusing and chaotic way that DOJ is dumping Epstein documents: This is not primarily incompetence. It’s intentional. They could have released more or less orderly files. But confusion and delay are a tactic to try to create public exhaustion and resignation—“we’ll never know.”

The blatant selling of pardons is perhaps the clearest instance of criminal conduct authorized by SCOTUS. Pardons are a quintessential "official act." So, even when Trump takes a bribe to issue one, he is presumably above the criminal law.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.
