Representative Anna Paulina Luna is demanding a pardon for U.S. Army Master Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is the soldier currently facing federal charges for allegedly exploiting classified information to profit from a $400,000 bet on the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. However, what you should be paying attention to is why she is asking for this pardon.
According to Newsweek, the Florida Republican made a post on X with a sharp critique. “Maybe not a popular take but I am calling for this guy to be pardoned. Unless the DOJ plans on going after all the crooks in congress currently insider trading, this is simply skewed justice.” She also added, “I don’t agree with what he did and he should be required to disgorge all the profits however, unless the DOJ plans on doing Congress next, this is not justice.”
