Do you guys realize at all how silly all this "jail, jail, jail, lock em up, lock em up, lock em up" stuff is ? Just because you do not agree with how someone did their job it doesn't rise to the level of prosecuting them for any crime.
This isn't some jungle Dictatorship where people are locked up or killed just because the government is run that way. I realize Trump sees himself as supreme ruler, but that is just some fantasy rolling around in that orange head of his, and has no basis in reality.
[i][indent][color="Navy"]President Donald Trump granted executive clemency Tuesday to former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, as well as to ex-New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik and to Edward DeBartolo Jr., the former owner of the San Francisco 49ers football team.
Trump also announced that he had pardoned Michael Milken, the former junk bond king who became a face of the insider trading financial scandals of the 1980s.
...
In all, Trump granted some form of executive clemency to 11 individuals Tuesday, according to the White House.
They are all people like himself. Considering the individuals Trump chose to pardon, he is basically normalizing political and corporate corruption. He forgot one guy, who is a part of the same pack: Bernie Madoff.

But Trump says we are a nation of Law and Order. I guess his cronies are exempt and are above the law.
Seems these have to do with federal prosecutors' misconduct. Even killers walk when prosecutors act illegally. It's all part of cleaning up the DOJ which, sadly, sorely needs it.
If this keeps up America is going to lose its place as number one highest incarceration rate on the planet.
No it won't. We lock up alot of people for other reasons besides white collar crimes.
