Proud to grant 19 commutations and 29 pardons as part of our Administration’s groundbreaking clemency initiative – our fourth round of clemency actions.

Today, we are taking another step forward in promoting public safety and building a stronger and fairer justice system.

"The sentencing of the (Jared Kushner crony), Jonathan Braun, who had a long history of violence and in 2011 pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering, demonstrates how Mr. Trump’s handling of pardons and commutations has allowed some convicts to return to criminality."

I just want to know how much Trump is charging for PARDONS and COMMUTATIONS? I will calculate how much $ to refer to the IRS so they can complete the ten year long tax audit they have been working on so hard! Americans want to know how they can help the billionaires, millionaires and thieves!

Jan 6 criminal is a criminal...again:
NYT: “In the final hours of Trump’s first term, a violent felon used his family’s ties to Trump’s son-in-law to receive the deal of a lifetime. Trump commuted the man’s 10-year prison sentence. All he had to do to ensure he remained free was stay out of trouble. But according to prosecutors, the man, Jonathan Braun, later sexually assaulted a nanny, swung an IV pole at a nurse, threatened a congregant at his synagogue and made usurious loans to struggling small businesses.” … “On Monday, a federal judge in Brooklyn must decide whether to sentence him to a new 5-year prison sentence that prosecutors are seeking. The saga of Braun, who in 2011 pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering, demonstrates how Trump’s handling of pardons and commutations has allowed some convicts to return to criminality.”

"There’s never been a better time to seek a presidential pardon....Trump seems to be doling out commutations and get-out-of-jail free cards without paying close attention to who is getting them....It raises a question: Who will be the most heinous criminal to receive a Trump pardon?"

One other thing....Joe Biden could have been on a ventilator and with five brain cells and absent someone successfully invoking the 25th Amendment, he would still have been POTUS and his pardons and commutations would be legal

This is stupid and mostly made-up nonsense

Interestingly, DOJ's response to Sean Dunn (sandwich guy)'s selective prosecution claim invoking Jan6 defendants doesn't engage in the posturing DOJ did with LaMonica McIver, who also used Jan6ers.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
2. January 6 Defendants Are Not Comparable to the Defendant The defendant next attempts to compare himself to January 6 defendants who were pardoned or had their sentences commuted. But this attempt misses the mark because those defendants were charged and prosecuted, and in many instances convicted and served sentences— the same process the defendant claims was selectively brought to bear against him. 3 As explained above, a comparison to others who have been prosecuted fails to satisfy the defendant’s heavy burden of establishing discriminatory effect. See Irish People. Inc., 684 F.2d at 946. The defendant also raises the pardons and commutations for the January 6 defendants as a reason why they are comparable to him. (Def.’s Mot. at 12). But “pardon and commutation decisions have not traditionally been the business of courts; as such, they are rarely, if ever, appropriate subjects for judicial review.” Ohio Adult Parole Authority v. Woodard, 523 U.S. 272, 276 (1998) (quoting Connecticut Bd. of Pardons v. Dumschat, 452 U.S. 458, 464 (1981)). Putting aside the obvious factual mismatch of the proposed comparators, the defendant provides no legal authority to support using a pardoned defendant as a comparator in a selective prosecution claim. Cf. United States v. McCord, 509 F.2d 334, 350 n.59 (D.C. Cir. 1974) (expressing no opinion on whether a selective prosecution claim based on a comparator that was pardoned was “nonfrivolous,” but recognizing that “[i]t would require an extension of existing case law on selective prosecution to novel circumstances”). The defendant’s comparison to prosecuted defendants who were pardoned or had their sentences commuted is inapposite to his selective prosecution claim. His claim fails. 3 Indeed, the three defendants the defendant contends are similarly situated all faced federal prosecution until they were pardoned. See United States v. Lang, No. 21-cr-53-CJN (D.D.C. Jan. 21, 2025), ECF No. 167 (moving to dismiss based on presid…

They use the same kinds of scams that occur in nursing homes and other care facilities, billing the government for medications and treatments that patients never get.

The big #fraud is institutional.

Trump has issued pardons and commutations to people involved in health insurance fraud.

Trump is building his criminal army. Or, maybe selling pardons and commutations to finance his overthrow of the U.S. government.

“Pardons and commutations offer X-rays into the souls of presidents. More than any other presidential actions, clemencies tell us who they are.” Jeff Toobin has this exactly right. Trump’s use of the pardon power sullies its purpose but reveals who the man is.

I cannot wait till he wins the mayoral election for New York City!

X Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid So in other words. Mamdani isn't even mayor yet and convicted criminals are already fleeing New York City. Wow Zohran is good at his iob. George Santos @MrSantosNY . 15h Sadly it seems that my family and I will be departing the city I've called home my entire life. NYC will become a very dangerous place to live in if we elect mayor Mamdani and that is a risk I am unwilling....
