former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, this is his brother Roberts property. The brother Robert was acquitted of his charges dealing with his brother's case. #rodblagojevich #pardon want a place to protest? I'm sure he'd love some guests.

#RodBlagojevich #Trump

The former Illinois Governor was convicted of multiple political corruption charges, including holding up funding for state hospitals while trying to sell an appointment to an Illinois Senate seat.

Trump originally had commuted his 14-year sentence, then pardoned him entirely earlier this year, which cleared his record.

#Michele Fiore #DonaldTrump

The former Las Vegas city councilmember and state lawmaker was convicted of seven counts relating to wire fraud.

She had raised more than $70,000 for the statue of a slain police officer, but instead spent it on cosmetic surgery, rent and other outlandish personal expenses.

#BitMEXBros #DonaldTrump

California’s support of responsible crypto and blockchain innovation is in stark contrast to the BitMEX cryptocurrency exchange co-founders Benjamin Delo, Arthur Hayes, Gregory Dwyer, and Samuel Reed who received a Trump pardon. They had pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act.

Trump also pardoned the corporation that owns the cryptocurrency exchange, HDR Global Trading Limited.

#M3R is what Dugin would like to see in the #Balkans, which dovetails nicely with the activities of #J6er #PeteMarocco (who secretly met with #MiloradDodik); #RichardGrenell (savior of #AndrewTate and the #AfD); and #RodBlagojevich (huge fan of #Serbia, home of the Trump-Kushner anti-NATO hotel).
