Statement from the Press Secretary Regarding Executive Grants of Clemency

Стив Бэннон -- один из помилованных.

Напомню, что Бэннону были предъявлены обвинения за мошенничество при сборе пожертвований трампистов на постройку стены.

В трамповском списке по ссылке Бэннону посвящен следующий абзац:

Stephen K. Bannon – President Trump granted a full pardon to Stephen Bannon. Prosecutors pursued Mr. Bannon with charges related to fraud stemming from his involvement in a political project. Mr. Bannon has been an important leader in the conservative movement and is known for his political acumen.

Вот как не помиловать человека, известного своим political acumen?

Лучше всего про это помилование, по-моему, написал бывший конгрессмен Амаш:

It went from “Mexico will pay for it!” to “You will pay for it!” to “You will pay Steve Bannon, and I will pardon him for defrauding you!”

Также верно следующее:

Trump has pardoned:

His longtime political adviser (Stone)
His campaign chairman (Manafort)
His later campaign CEO (Bannon)
His campaign foreign policy adviser (Papadopoulos)
His national security adviser (Flynn)
His son-in-law’s dad
3 GOP congressmen convicted during his term

О рефлексии

Brent Bozell:

Unlike the snowflake left four years ago, today conservatives were able to survive without having to hug teddy bears, scream into pillows, fill in coloring books, find crying rooms and have therapy sessions.

По-моему, лучше бы они раскрашивали картинки и встречались с психологом.
