Using his clemency power, Trump has undone prosecutions made by his own DOJ during his first term.

Experts say the actions show a broad contempt for the justice system: “He’s rejecting ... the work of people he appointed but didn’t fully control.”

A Tale of Two Terms: How Powerful Figures Were Prosecuted in Trump’s First Term, Then Pardoned in His Second

@ProPublica What he did was allow them to be prosecuted, so that later they would be eager to give him whatever he demands to get the government off of their backs. He's a gangster, and you guys STILL don't seem to get how gangsters operate. He hurts you forever, or until you give in. Then you are pals.

@ProPublica "experts say"? Who needs experts to know that the orange tumor has contempt for not only the Justice Department but justice as a whole?
