Donald the Dove pardons more homicidal imperialists
By 
As we have mentioned before, the closest thing Trump has to a redeeming quality is that he ultimately humiliates most of his sycophants. Now up to bat are people on the anti-anti-Trump “left” who think he’s going to pardon whistleblowers, when in fact he’s actually going to pardon an endless array of war criminals and crooked Republican pols:
Mr. Trump’s pardon list also included four former U.S. service members who were convicted of killing Iraqi civilians while working as contractors in 2007.
One of them, Nicholas Slatten, had been sentenced to life in prison after the Justice Department had gone to great lengths to prosecute him. Mr. Slatten had been a contractor for the controversial company Blackwater and was sentenced for his role in the killing of 17 Iraqi civilians in Nisour Square in Baghdad — a massacre that left one of the most lasting stains on the United States of the war.
The three former members of Congress pardoned by Mr. Trump were Duncan Hunter of California, Chris Collins of New York and Steve Stockman of Texas.
Mr. Hunter was set to begin serving an 11-month sentence next month. He pleaded guilty in 2019 to one charge of misusing campaign funds.
He’s never pretended to be anything else; it’s just a question of whether you prefer to project better things onto him.
