Opinion | I Was the President’s Pardon Attorney. He’s Making a Mockery of the Pardon Process. - The New York Times https://share.google/O77urf7czGYDDHkhM

President Trump took pardon abuse to a new level this year with a string of dubious clemencies that together present a unique case study in how this unfettered executive power can be used to degrade, corrupt and politicize the justice system.

But for the most part, they relied on the Justice Department’s pardon attorney — a position I held for nearly three years — to evaluate clemency applications. Even when they acted against their pardon attorney’s advice, they typically did so with the benefit of a thorough investigation and analysis prepared by a team of nonpolitical experts. Mr. Trump has flipped the table on the deliberative approach favored by his predecessors. The damage won’t be easily undone.

In March, after being sidelined for weeks, I was dismissed. I was replaced by Ed Martin, an organizer in the Stop the Steal movement who has described his pardon priorities unambiguously: “No MAGA left behind.” On his watch, the traditional application review process has been neutered.

In early April, Elizabeth Fago attended a $1 million per person Trump fund-raiser at Mar-a-Lago. On April 23, President Trump signed a full pardon for her son, Paul Walczak, a nursing home executive.

Walczak had pleaded guilty to failing to pay the I.R.S. $7.4 million in taxes withheld from his employees’ paychecks. According to the Department of Justice, he used the money to buy a yacht and make “personal purchases at retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Cartier and Saks. During this same time, he also did not pay $3,480,111 of his business’s portion of his employees’ Social Security and Medicare taxes.”

The pardon saved Walczak from serving an 18-month prison sentence and paying $4.38 million in restitution.

In the Trump administration, contributing money to his campaign, to his inauguration or to a special Trump project such as the East Wing ballroom appears to be one of the factors qualifying convicted criminals for special treatment when seeking a presidential pardon.

But the Somalians!

People should go to the official White House list of pardons. You’re looking at literally billions in fraud, and the perps are now free as birds. He even canceled the restitution they were supposed to pay their victims!

Anybody who supports Trump doesn’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining about fraud.

The quicker they are deported the better. And make sure they take their kids with them.
