that several news outlets had reported that Mnuchin was advocating for a pardon for Milken, and that The New York Times had reported last year that Mnuchin flew on Milken's private airplane from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles.
A statement issued by Trump's press secretary Stephanie Grisham detailed the rationale for the pardon for Milken, and called him "one of America's greatest financiers" for his pioneering of "the use of high-yield bonds in corporate finance.""In fact, one of the lead prosecutors later admitted that Mr. Milken had been charged with numerous technical offenses and regulatory violations that had never before been charged as crimes," Grisham said.
"Since his release, Mr. Milken has dedicated his life to philanthropy, continuing charitable work that he began before his indictment," the press secretary said. "Over the years, Mr. Milken — either personally or through foundations he created — has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in critical funding to medical research, education, and disadvantaged children. Mr. Milken's philanthropy has been particularly influential in the fight against prostate cancer and has been credited with saving many lives."
Our world is going to blow up ... oh wait, how about reviewing Clinton, Bush, and Obama’s history for parsons and clemency ... “never mind”
He is not worse than Obama who sent Cash money in billions to IRAN to build nuclear weapons to fight against AMERICA
Trump sees Sanders rising in the polls and sees the writing on the wall. Look out for a lot of giveaways to his crony capitalist buddies... This is just the tip of iceberg.
Trump is draining the swamp... Right into a cesspool
Criminals like trump look after their own. Till they get crossed.
That’s fine, Obama pardoned terrorists
Trump is Scum.
Criminals stick together
Next up Bernie Madoff?
Let's hate Michael Milken all together! Oh, everyone is so indignant at what happened so long ago and no one remembers that now there are many other actual problems. Leave him alone, he paid dearly for his sins - how many more days will this be discussed?
As I recall, Milken pretty much got railroaded. Wasn’t it Trump’s crony Giuliani who prosecuted him, though?
Trump pardoned all of the criminals he knew. Then he pardoned anyone who went on fox news, or sent their wife, and said how wonderful he is. There is no law in Washington but trump.
When he pardons a traitor and a terrorist let me know
We get it... he’s not the best President. Are people going to vote to change it? doubt it.
It’s all boils down to who you know! Frankly, I don’t know very much about this guy or the case, I just don’t trust Trump.
Shamefully!!!!!!!!!
Trump is letting all his corrupt cronies out of prison. He has invented a new swamp of corrupt prisoners that will be indebted to him. He has no honest intelligent people around him because he is afraid of the truth. He only survives in the sewage of liars and cheaters.
This is some straight up satanic work going on right before our eyes.
