Why did Trump pardon a fraudster twice?

[goaded]

It's a rhetorical question really, she probably paid him off. Easy to do with someone else's money. Please, tell me again about how Biden was corrupt.

"In 2021, a convicted fraudster named Adriana Camberos was freed from prison when President Trump commuted her sentence.

Rather than taking advantage of that second chance, prosecutors said, Ms. Camberos returned to crime. She and her brother were convicted in 2024 in an unrelated fraud.

This week, Mr. Trump pardoned both siblings, marking the second time Mr. Trump had opened the prison gates for Ms. Camberos."

No shock in the slightes. She probably has some dirt on Trumps pedo past.

[goaded]

I didn't consider that possibility.

She is either paying him in some way or she's having sex with him.

[goaded]

Eew!

[msc545]

Women will do anything given enough money. It won't be the first time Trump's done something like this.

[goaded]

It's called Droit du seigneur. Still, I expect she just paid millions just to avoid that.

[msc545]

She is decent-looking, if not spectacular, so it's certainly possible that Trump might've been having sex with her. https://www.threads.com/@aacamberos.p

Why? Because he's piece of shit who pardons other pieces of shit.

[Hagar88]

Why did bill pardon his brother and those involved in his wife's white water scandal?

[goaded]

Had they been convicted of anything once, let alone twice?

[Hagar88]

Yes. They were in jail.

[goaded]

No. His brother was "pardoned for drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade earlier". Susan McDougal, too, "had already completed her sentence".

Chris Wade was convicted of "making a false report to overvalue property". Does that remind you of anyone?

At least Clinton knew what he was doing, and he wasn't doing it in exchange for money.

You can see his reasons here:

The pardongate controversy link to the pay to play Clinton foundation contract is well known.
The Marc Rich Pardon: The most significant controversy involved Marc Rich, a fugitive financier who had fled to Switzerland to avoid charges of tax evasion and fraud. His ex-wife, Denise Eisenberg Rich, was a major donor to the Clinton Library (contributing $450,000) and to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign.

I do appreciate your attempt to equate a handful of doubtful pardons to wholesale pardons of hundreds of people who attacked the Capitol on Trump's behalf and anyone who's willing to pay him a few million dollars, even after they've proved themselves to be unrepentant and recidivist, but it won't wash.

[Hagar88]

Do you think those that those that were allowed into the capitol building are millionaires?

[goaded]

No, I think they were insurrectionists on behalf of Trump, which is why he pardoned them, so they can try again. Jack Smith told a House committee, under oath, he had ‘proof beyond reasonable doubt’ in both cases against Trump.

[Hagar88]

Nah he pardoned them because what did they do that was so different than what antifa does on a daily basis.

[goaded]

AntiFa, being against fascism (the clue's in the name), has never tried to steal the presidency like Trump did. Jack Smith told a House committee, under oath, he had ‘proof beyond reasonable doubt’ in both cases against Trump.

[Hagar88]

Antifa believe anyone who isn't communist is a fascist, its part of their corp beliefs going back to the 20s and 30s when they used to join forces with SA Stormtroopers and SS to beat up liberal and Conservative party rallies and deny them a platform.
The people who testified against the Clinton's in the white water scandal never received a pardon.

The question is also why did Trump pardon a convicted fraudster TWICE. No other president has done that ever, so enough with the whataboutism.

[Hagar88]

Wasn't hundreds. Watching the footage most of them walked around like it was a museum staying inside the red ropes. What happened at the capitol building is exactly what's been happening all over the country since 2008 on a daily basis.
The Clinton pardons are notorious even among ardent democrat supporters, yet another reason liberals refused to show up for hillary in 2016, you would find yourself in the minority of hillary defenders among democrats.
Almon Glenn Braswell was pardoned of his 1983 mail fraud and perjury convictions. In 1998 he was under federal investigation for money laundering and tax evasion charges. Braswell and Carlos Vignali each paid approximately $200,000 to Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, to represent their respective cases for clemency. Braswell would later invoke the Fifth Amendment at a Senate Committee hearing in 2001, when questioned about allegations of his having systematically defrauded senior citizens of millions of dollars.
Marc Rich, a fugitive who had fled the U. S. during his prosecution, was residing in Switzerland. Rich owed $48 million in taxes and was charged with 51 counts for tax fraud, was pardoned of tax evasion. He was required to pay a $1 million fine and waive any use of the pardon as a defense against any future civil charges that were filed against him in the same case. Critics complained that Denise Eisenberg Rich, his former wife, had made substantial donations to both the Clinton library and to Mrs. Clinton's senate campaign. According to Paul Volcker's independent investigation of Iraqi Oil-for-Food kickback schemes, Marc Rich was a middleman for several suspect Iraqi oil deals involving over 4 million barrels (640,000 m3) of oil. Longtime Clinton supporters and Democratic leaders such as former President Jimmy Carter, James Carville and Terry McAuliffe, were all critical of the Clinton pardon. Carter said the pardons were "disgraceful.

Mel Reynolds, a Democratic Congressman from Illinois, was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assault of a child, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of child pornography. His sentence was commuted on the bank fraud charge and he was allowed to serve the final months under the auspices of a halfway house. Reynolds had served his entire sentence on child sex abuse charges before the commutation of the later convictions.

Four Hasidic men from the all-Hasidic village of New Square, New York–Kalmen Stern, Jacob Elbaum, Benjamin Berger and David Goldstein–who in 1999 had been convicted of defrauding the federal government through receiving federal funding for a fictitious Jewish school, had their sentences commuted after lobbying from the village's leader, Grand Rabbi David Twersky. A federal investigation examined allegations that the pardons were part of a quid-pro-quo in exchange for Twersky instructing his followers to vote for Hillary Clinton as Senator for New York in the November 2000 election.

[goaded]

Oh, God. Now you're insisting we all ignore the evidence of our own eyes on the day with a load more bullshit whataboutism. The question is also why did Trump pardon a convicted fraudster TWICE. No other president has done that ever.

Just for fun, what did the "federal investigation examined allegations that the pardons were part of a quid-pro-quo in exchange for Twersky instructing his followers to vote for Hillary Clinton" find?

[Hagar88]

Whataboutism is just the retort of someone tangled in their own hypocrisy, it actually means nothing outside of America.
I've provided many examples of Bill Clinton pardoned fraudsters, drug dealers and peadophilles for their multiple crimes.
Despite what the FBI were directed to say receiving money for political donation or money is called what?

[goaded]

Really, it's not. You're trying to compare a Tonka toy to an 18 wheeler in order to avoid answering the question: . Why did Trump pardon a fraudster twice?

Can you even read? She was pardoned, re-offended and convicted of another fraud, and pardoned a second time. Why?

(Don't think I didn't notice the massive lie in the middle there, and the ridiculous assertion that Bush would have protected Clinton, but unlike you I try to stay on topic, troll.)

[Hagar88]

Most of those pardoned by the Clintons were convicted of multiple crimes so that when they were pardoned they were pardoned of multiple of crimes multiple times.
Where is the lie?
Also what word is used to describe when politicians receive money to get someone pardoned of crime? here's a hint it begins with C.

[goaded]

I didn't say you were lying, I said you weren't answering the question about the only time a US president ever pardoned someone who then got convicted for more crimes and he pardoned them again. Are you having difficulty understanding the concept?

[goaded]

Oh, wait, I did point out you were lying. "Bill Clinton pardoned fraudsters, drug dealers and" ... "peadophilles"? Bullshit.

Yes, it's massive and obvious corruption when Trump pardons people for money, but Trump's SCOTUS tells us it's legal.

You never did say what the "federal investigation examined allegations that the pardons were part of a quid-pro-quo in exchange for Twersky instructing his followers to vote for Hillary Clinton" found. All you did was imply that Bush told the FBI to protect a Clinton.

Doesn't matter what the federal investigation says, a pardon was granted and favours received. Even if its legal corruption like legal theft its still corruption.

[goaded]

"President Bill Clinton then commuted his sentence for bank fraud and Reynolds was released from prison."

If it "Doesn't matter what the federal investigation says", why did you bring it up? Just as a smear.

So, anyway, how about you answer the question now?

[Hagar88]

So the Clintons helped a pedophile and of course democrat voters voted for him.
Likely Ms. Camberos was wrongfully convicted.

[goaded]

"Likely Ms. Camberos was wrongfully convicted."? THAT's your reason why Trump pardoned her after she was convicted twice? She paid for it.

[Hagar88]

People can be wrongfully convicted twice. What was the fraud purchasing energy drinks to sell in Mexico and selling them in the US instead? You know how many Mexican taco trucks that fo that? Just all of them.

[goaded]

You don't get sentenced to three years' probation, $48,824,415.45 restitution for conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, wire fraud and aiding and abetting (seven counts) for nothing.

[Hagar88]

So how many mexicans do you want to go to jail for selling RC Cola as Coca cola?
