As I noted in this post last week after a recent flurry of grants, Prez Trump has followed up historic clemency activity during his first few days in office by continuing to exercise his broad executive authority to grant pardons and commutations. And, as highlighted by these headlines, the clemency action keeps on keeping on (and is generating notable commentary):
“Trump commutes sentence of convicted fraudster who aided GOP effort to impeach Biden“
“Trump pardons Jan. 6 rioter Thomas Caldwell after previously commuting sentence“
“Trump makes history by pardoning a corporation“
“Trump pardons a bunch of white-collar crooks“
“Secret Svengali Behind Trump’s Most Bizarre Pardon Yet Revealed“
“Trump says he’ll stop health care fraudsters. Last time, he let them walk.“
“Trump’s insane pardons are killing any faint flicker of justice in America“
