Trump Pardons Michael Milken, Commutes Sentence of Rod Blagojevich

WASHINGTON— President Trump granted a pardon to financier Michael Milken, the onetime “junk bond king” who spent nearly two years in prison for securities-law violations, and commuted the sentence of Rod Blagojevich, a former Illinois governor who was midway through a 14-year sentence for multiple counts of corruption.

Mr. Milken served 22 months of a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to several securities-law violations in 1990. He was barred from the securities industry for life and paid hundreds of millions...

There is a house in Washington DC they call the rise of ill rebuke and it's been the ruin of many a rich men and God knows that trump is one🎶!!!!

SenateGOP despicable act. Dump's action where you support is a smack in the face of they many lives ruined. More so it fuel how internal terrorism will grow. See cause and effect on the lack of holding civil responsibility by government.

Milken founded Prostate Cancer Fdn, contributing $ and raising much more. In 2018, PCF spent $38mm on grants ($36.7 in ‘17). Well done!

How's that draining the swamp going?

Keep the ball rolling and soon even Al Capone will get one for the record.

Normalizing corruption.

Lawlessness. Commit any crime you want as long as you back Trump. That's the message.

Trump trying to get even with DOJ Prosecutors. He has to be re-elected to a job he hates or he will be under indictment next year this time.

Well what is the news in a corrupt pardon another corrupt.

Jeffrey Skilling is waiting in line...Bernie Madoff also ! Why stop

glenkyack Birds of a feather flock together!

Is the toupee still incarcerated?

Donny is just showing Roger that no matter what the Judge does, I can do this, so keep your mouth shut Stone.

How is this any more nefarious than abolishing bail for jail, wanting to expunge marijuana crimes from people's records, and harboring undocumented fugitives with active warrants?

And a big fat nuthin from the GOP

That’s compassion.

Of course.😂

Just couldn't make it up!!

Commutation ≠ pardon

What about steve stockman?

All the president's man friends. Partners in crime. How dumb are people feeling now for voting for a criminal over Hillary. It bogles the mind. We are in real trouble, people!!!!!

Wow, just wow! Trump is beyond a criminal!

So...tell me Trump supporters, just what the hell is 'the swamp' if this guy deserves to get off? Huh, also thought you cared about the law when it came to those pesky illegals? Could it be that you don't actually believe in a damn thing?

A criminal helping a criminal. How special.

This gives me the smallest glimmer of hope that realDonaldTrump might free the GOAT FreeShkreli
