Justice doesn’t really apply if you’re friendly with the Trump administration. Sure, you’ve done some heinous acts and been convicted by a jury of your peers (or even simply pleaded guilty). But prison is boring, ugh, let’s just put in a call to the White House and get that pardon rubberstamped.
Trump recently raised eyebrows with the commutation of George Santos’ sentence, who’d previously dubbed Donald Trump “the greatest President in U.S. history.” Now he’s issued a full pardon to Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the billionaire founder of crypto exchange Binance, who pled guilty to money laundering and served four months in prison.
