Trump is now handing out pardons on the golf course

Hey everybody. Donald Trump is now handing out pardons literally over rounds of golf. I’m Liz Oyer, the former pardon attorney for the Department of Justice. This week, Donald Trump pardoned a sports executive named Tim Lewiki. This shocked a lot of people in his own justice department because Trump’s DOJ just indicted Lewiki in July of this year. He was charged with illegally rigging the bidding process for a sports and concert arena in Texas to make sure his company won a major contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Lewiki was facing up to 10 years in prison and his company had agreed to pay a $15 million fine. But then Donald Trump granted him a full pardon, seemingly without even consulting his own justice department. What did Lewiki do to deserve a pardon? Nothing. So, how did this happen? Well, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that it happened over a round of golf. In November, Lewiki’s lawyer, the former Republican Congressman Trey Gaudy, played golf with Trump at Mara Lago. At the end of the round of golf, Trump asked Gouty if there was anything he needed. And that’s when Gaudy made his pitch to end the prosecution of his client, Tim Lewiki. Two weeks later, Trump signed a full pardon. Here’s what Trey Gaudy said about it afterwards. I am extremely grateful that the president allowed me to raise that issue with him and he is the president and whatever decision was made after that he was elected to make. I was not. Is this really what Americans elected Trump to do? I don’t think so. You can help spread the word about Donald Trump’s corruption of the pardon power by sharing this post and by asking your elected reps to demand accountability for presidential pardons.

Trump’s latest pardon recipient, sports executive Tim Leiweke, scored a pardon when his lawyer played a round of golf with POTUS.

  2. Next he will be pardoning ppl in the men’s room WT…? TY for keeping us informed 💙🙏💙

  3. Your country is the most corrupt "Democracy" in the Western World 😬. Am being diplomatic, when I say Democracy!
    Trump has sanctioned and is terrorizing the Judges of the ICC, and as usual, not one Western country has said anything about it.
    Actions speak louder than words.

  4. The level of corruption is now laughable. The fact that there are tens of millions of people who continue to support this, is simply comical. The fact that these people have no idea how badly they are getting screwed is hysterical. And yes, this is what he was elected to do. He is a convicted felon. This is what convicted felons do.

  5. I have NEVER voted for Trump and I can say with assurance that I NEVER will support Trump in ANY way. He is a criminal and belongs in a cell for the rest of his life.

  6. Most corrupt regime in American history. This is truly a shameful time. I however will remain optimistic, we can all admit our country is broken (definitely NOT in the ways the regime has their cultists believe, but in so many ways many of us see everyday) so perhaps this regime will be the tipping point when enough of us speak out, and we do away with the old guard politicians for a new era of forward thinking, non millionaire/billionaires with working class backgrounds who will NEVER kowtow to corporations and the Uber-wealthy donors. Wake tf up America

  7. Hmmm, let’s see … the defendant had agreed to pay a 15 million dollar fine, but then he was pardoned? How much you want to bet that he instead somehow paid at least $10 million dollars into Trump’s pocket? He is so glaringly corrupt, it’s sickening.

  8. His Pardon Czar is a major drug traffickers from Tennessee that dealt with cartels from Mexico and South America and Trump pardoned her and then made her his Pardon Czar. Then she got him to pardon a major drug kingoen from Chicago or Michigan I don't remember but he is still serving a State murder(s) term of 200 years which of course he can't pardon him for. And I believe she is the one who told him that the ex President of Honduras that he just pardoned who trafficked 400 TONS of cocaine into our Country was a very fine man. He also pardoned the man who lead the drug Silk Road. Donald Trump doesn't care about the drugs flooding our Country. Period. He has been pardoning the biggest drug traffickers to our Country that had been convicted and imprisoned in our Country!

  9. Speaking of criminals, Barron has been cozying up to the Tate brothers. Not at all suspicious. Does that boy have Kleinfelter’s Syndrome?

  10. Past presidents have at least tried to hide corruption. Trump isn't doing that anymore. He's engaging in it at every turn.

  11. Trump has been providing Pardons for Crooks like himself during his first time in Oval Office-Trump Continues to be bribed for Money Trump gets More&More Money ALL the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
