All the ones from the Muller Report like what’s the point of investigating these people if they all got away.

“Drain the Swamp” he became part of the swamp

[adconreal]

Pathetic! I would bet every dollar that Trump is benefiting from these Pardons!

While guys who got busted with a bag of weed sit in prison... or Brandon Dassey, who is obviously innocent, has been locked up for a false confession since he was 16. If a 16 year old can't give sexual consent, why would a cohersed confession be any different. Fug this sheet!!

I'll be Trump's ally if he can wipe my record clean

[MyCentsYall]

Trump has shown how this power can be abused. ALL you have to do have people who willing to commit crimes for you then pardon them. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BROKEN!

[SpeedyWings]

“YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DRAIN THE SWAMP NOT JOIN THEM!!”

[polishfinnish]

Ain't it odd he's doing this after all other avenues to get a second term are closed?

[hilladelphia]

Manafort an insanely cruel wife beater as well as helped dictators and murderers. My sister prays for Trump and thinks she is with God, that Trump is some kind of a good guy. She won't heed... very sad.

Make the U.S. great again let the criminal out !

[sholomrosenberg]

What should Trump do. even according to his enemies.. when the courts relayed to him numerous times. that they out of business.. .. Pardons are the only way currently. for some justice to prevail.

[backhandchop]

Ironically Trump will be the one to end up in prison.

[sharlenerose]

As of Nov. 23, Trump had granted clemency 44 times, including 28 pardons and 16 commutations. That’s the lowest total of any president since at least William McKinley, who served at the turn of the 20th century. Obama, by comparison, granted clemency 1, 927 times during his eight-year tenure, including 212 pardons and 1, 715 commutations.
