60 Minutes last night highlighted the case of crypto billionaires Changpeng Zhao and, in Overtime, the broader demise of the pardon process. Please watch and share.
“We hear that President Trump may not pardon the Thanksgiving Turkey this year because th Turkey is having problems raising the $2 million the pardon costs. This is a developing story” 😹
It feels like you are the only one talking about this Liz! Guess there is so much corruption, no one bats an eye anymore. Thank you for all the important work you do! ♥️♥️
Thank you for all you do. Thanks for shedding light on the relentless corruption of Donald Trump. I can only hope that when this is over, the people who shamelessly took advantage of Trump’s pay to play will somehow pay a price. ❤️🙏🏼
Your intelligence, persistent commitment and bravery are outstanding. I so appreciate the important work you are doing. I pass your name on to everyone I talk politics with. You are truly a modern day hero!
A major point for those who have applied for a pardon thru the DOJ pardon process, recount their crimes, accept responsibility for their crimes, show remorse, and have moved forward with their lives in a productive manner. Not so for those corruptly granted pardons arbitrarily by this president.
Thank you Liz please watch your back. There was a lady judge that went against Trump then her house burnt down. And Josh Shapiro‘s house caught on fire. Very worrisome 🙏
We saw your interview it was great! We are so proud of you and the work you do! And have done! Keep posting please we read them daily! You’re amazing and you’re helping us to make sense of all of this nonsense! Thank you!! 😊
In normal times, this is a required step in the process whenever the Office of the Pardon Attorney is considering recommending that a pardon is granted.
I cringe every time Liz reports on another violation of the trust and corruption by one person and his sycophants in the justice department of the pardon system. But, please don’t stop informing us about it! We all must face this issue head on in order to stop the perversion of an otherwise good and noble system. It is a valuable tool for justice and compassion but it must be changed to stop the corruption; or it should be stopped all together. Liz, please don’t stop your reporting of this corruption!
The current Administration's perversion of the Presidential pardon power is in plain view, as are the numerous other grifts whose sole purpose is to enrich the Trump family. Thank you for your timely and informed explanations of these abuses vis a vis proper use of the pardon power. Keep up the good work.
Liz, Trump has violated “norms” and “guidelines” to which most have adhered, from the first day that he entered the 2016 presidential race. So, it is no surprise that he has abused his pardon power. What can be done to ensure that future presidents do not follow his lead? We need more than norms and guidelines. Can the presidential pardon power only be restricted through an amendment to the constitution?
Realizing that constitutional amendments take a monumental effort and are highly unlikely to pass, it has to start somewhere. To your knowledge are there any efforts currently to launch such a campaign? Assuming that there are not, do you have any thoughts on how the pardon power could be amended. It would seem that it is in everyone’s best interest to rein in this opportunity for abuse of the rule of law.
This meme is perfect for the subject:

Good stuff, well done!
Liz, how common is it for pardon applications to go as far as FBI interviews with the defendant and associates?
In normal times, this is a required step in the process whenever the Office of the Pardon Attorney is considering recommending that a pardon is granted.
Good Q. Curious minds want to know...

One of the saddest parts of this situation is that Trevor Milton's victims won't get their money back! Thanks for fighting the good fight, Liz!

A constitutional amendment is the only way to restrict the power -- BUT Congress could be doing much more to require transparency and accountability.

Liz- perhaps you can interview Congressman Cohen on your Substack
