Surely many more to come including Trump's family and staff, could be record setting.
No mention of Gates or Cohen they weren't loyal, but wonder about Manafort.
MAGA!

The pre-Christmas wave of 20 pardons and commutations are not likely to be the last before Mr. Trump leaves office on Jan. 20.
In an audacious pre-Christmas round of pardons, President Trump granted clemency on Tuesday to two people convicted in the special counsel’s Russia inquiry, four Blackwater guards convicted in connection with the killing of Iraqi civilians and three corrupt former Republican members of Congress.
Among those pardoned was George Papadopoulos, who was a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign and pleaded guilty in 2017 to making false statements to federal officials as part of the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III.
Also pardoned was Alex van der Zwaan, a lawyer who pleaded guilty to the same charge in 2018 in connection of the special counsel’s inquiry. Both men served short prison sentences.
The Mueller-related pardons are a signal of more to come of people caught up in the investigation, according to people close to the president.
The nonviolent drug offenders are a pleasant surprise. The rest seem like typical swamp creatures. Duncan Hunter, who defrauded veterans charities and had multiple affairs while drinking and drugging, then blamed his wife for everything? Gross.
Rudy, Bannon, and the kids will probably be in the next batch. Barr's last day is tomorrow and his replacement is apparently even more of a sycophant who will have no problem with it.
"Obama also commuted the sentence of convicted terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera, the leader of the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña (FALN), a Puerto Rican terrorist group. FALN was responsible for 130 attacks in the United States, and at least six deaths. An unrepentant Lopez-Rivera was serving a 70-year sentence when Obama set him free."
Notice that Obama did not pardon people involved in his (Obamas) campaign or administration.
Trump will be letting all the criminals around him (Trump).
I'm surprised he knows who Papadopoulos is! Didn't he refer to him as the "coffee boy"?
