Trump's second-term clemencies so far have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion. That's over 2,000x the amount amount eliminated by Biden's pardons ($680,000).

These pardons go to convicted criminals who have ties to Trump and his administration, or who have donated significant sums to Trump.

It is very obvious the current administrating is the most corrupt administration in modern history by several orders of magnitude.

And what of Pelosi and the like? The problem is, you’re not able to measure what you cannot see.

For example, the obvious… Epstein Files. That went on for how long? Involved hundreds if not thousands of (mostly) men of power. Bill Clinton comes to mind.

Just because you couldn’t see the corruption doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.
