David Gentile doesn't just have a
get-out-of-jail-free card from the White House, he also is no longer required
to pay a paltry million-and-a-half dollars in restitution as sentenced.
There's a pattern here. Who does felon-in-chief Donald Trump pardon? Answer, other felons: insurrectionists (some fifteen hundred of them, among which were individuals also convicted of rape and sexual assault, child sexual abuse and exploitation, and production and possession of child pornography), high-rolling financial swindlers and crypto-scammers, money-launderers, and major drug-traffickers.
A good example of this last is the case
of Juan Orlando Hernández, wealthy ex-president of Honduras, sentenced in the
US to forty-five years in prison for heading up an eighteen-year-long scheme
involving drug kingpin El Chapo, with whom he was bribed to partner. Through
Hernández’s actions, an estimated four hundred tons of cocaine
were funneled into the US.
Trump said Hernández had been treated
"very harshly and unfairly."
Question: How are those unidentified,
uncharged, unsubstantiatedly-accused folks in the boats in the Caribbean being
treated?
